Last I checked usb passthrough had issues on ESXI 5.5. It's not hard to believe there may be passthrough issues elsewhere. usb passthrough would work fine on 5.1, on 5.5 you would enable passthrough for the usb controller and on reboot is would disappear.

Not sure if this helps but you could try something other than esxi 5.5. I plan to give proxmox ve a try. You could always go the route I did. Install linux yourself and run qemu/kvm (what I run) or xen. That would give you a bit more flexibility as well. You can then determine the best...

I know it took me a while but I do have an update. The instability seems to have been my fault. I had been playing with voltages and wound up undervolting the cpu causing stability issues. I am running linuxmint 17 now with qemu/kvm on a 3.10 kernel with virtual machine manager and archipel...

Just wanted to post an update. My system locks up after a couple days of running esxi regardless of version running ( tested 5.0,5.1) I think the longest uptime has been maybe 7 days or so. An HP NC360T(intel dual port nic for pfsense) has been the only card to reliable work in passthrough...

Thanks for everyone's input. So from my testing the reason why I was getting the Pink Screen of Death is because of the Highpoint card. I bought a cheap esata card based on a silicon image 3132. With this card I am able to passthrough to a vm without an issue and it supports port multipliers...

Hello Everyone, I am trying to get IOMMU/PCI passthrough working on a Gigabyte GA-990-FXA-UD3 Rev 3.0. The only time I was able to get passthrough working was with a rocketraid 622 and the built in Etron USB 3 controller using ESXi 5.0Update 2, but it only worked for 1 reboot. To get it to...
