There is a separate bios option to enable the IOMMU (VT-d) (IO
virtualization support)

Did you verify that your Chipset support VT-d? That is the first step.


Yeah, I made sure that in my bios, under performance, virtualization is turned on, and also IOMMU is turned on. My chipset is Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5430 @ 2.66GHz. I googled that up, it supports VT-d. What do you mean by a separate bios option?
