Attempting to passthrough USB controllers to VM's under esxi 6.7 U1. These are built into an Asus Zenith Extreme motherboard with latest BIOS. Two of the controllers (AMD 3.0 ) work fine.
One of them is an Asmedia device with info copied at the end: This perpetually needs a reboot when I attempt to activate passthrough. Disabling the ACS check in esxi.conf results in a nonbootable host, and in any event ACS is enabled in BIOS. Since it never becomes active for passthrough, I can't even attempt to pass it through to a vm.
The other is an "...X399 Series Chipset USB 3.1 xHCI controller." Unlike the Asmedia device, this can be made active for passthrough-- BUT if I attempt to boot a VM (version 14) with this, it fails with the error message below. This is unrelated to the previous "need to have a BIOS mode VM" problem ( that was fixed with U1, and DID poweron even when buggy-- just wouldn't boot windows.) I can't power the VM at all.
Anyone have any ideas on either of these bugs?
Thanks!
