I'm trying to get PCI passthrough working by passing through a DVB-T TV card to a VM running MythTV. When I assign the PCI devices in virt-manager and attempt to start the VM I get this error:
Error starting domain: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2015-09-06T12:41:09.725990Z qemu-kvm: -device vfio-pci,host=05:02.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x9: vfio: error, group 11 is not viable, please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver.

I've followed a whole load of instructions and made teh settings below:
- Updated /etc/sysconfig/grub tp add intel_iommu=on:
- Allowed unsafe interrupts in /etc/modprobe.d/PME-vfio_iommu_type1.conf:
options vfio_iommu_type1 allow_unsafe_interrupts=1
- Blacklisted the PCI card's drivers in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf so they don't get grabbed by the CentOS hypervisor host:
blacklist cx8800
blacklist cx8802
blacklist cx88_dvb
blacklist cx88-mpeg
Can anyone please advise why I'm getting that error preventing the VM from booting?
