Interestingly, when I disable VT-D in the motherboard BIOS. I can boot with "intel_iommu=on pci-stub.ids=DEVICEID"

and the DEVICE is successfully loaded by the pci-stub driver, according to $lspci -nnk readout

additionally, I see:

$dmesg | grep -e IOMMU

    [0.000000] DMAR: IOMMU enabled

even though I actually DISABLED VT-D in the motherboard BIOS. Going back now and enabling it in the BIOS causes freezing during boot again.

I'm also having trouble assigning this device to the vfio-pci driver, but that might be a separate issue.

Passing EITHER "intel_iommu=on intremap=off" OR " "intel_iommu=on vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1" during boot results in a freeze at boot. This happens at the loading initramfs step ("initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img").

Any further suggestions? Thanks,
