I was unable to boot my storage VM as it was on a hard drive attached to the 1061 card, so I can't confirm if the onboard sata was successfully passed through to the VM. On my asrock Z77 the only onboard passthrough scenario that worked was to passthrough the onboard asmedia 1061 chip (2...

On my ASRock Z77 board when I passed through the onboard SATA the pci express based ASMedia 1061 2 port sata card stopped working (which had the local datastore connected to it). So I now have a M1015 inbound.

Worked fine on an asrock z77 with i5-3470. (ESXi 5.1) FreeBSD8.3 no issues, FreeBSD9 had driver issues with the sil3132 I believe unrelated to the passthrough. FreeBSD9 worked fine with Asmedia 1061 based dual port esata pcie card passed through. Going this route along with passing through an...
