VT-d enabled with intel SRCSAS144e (lsi8344elp)

Dying to safe energy at home so want to make 2 machines into 1.

This will mean: moving an LSI-array into my ESXi server.

To keep access to this LSI8888elp device i want turn on VT-d and give the device away to a virtual machine on top of it.

As soon as i turn it on, ESX looses the DataStore running on the SRCSAS144e.

This is the config:

ASUS DBEG-DG + L5420 * 2

24 GB FB-DIMM

SRCSAS144e + WD500 * 4 (datastore)

Already updated the firmwares to the latest level(s) (used the latest LSI for the intel card).

I tried to create Arrays in a differrent order (large VD0, boot VD1), as i've read this in some thread using a PERC5 controller, no luck.

As soon ESXi (4.1u1) starts, it forgets it's datastore and is even unable to add it manually.

Any trick or info regarding this?

Thanks,

Martijn
