I have a new laptop that I am trying to get Qubes 3.2 installed. So far so good except for this one issue. NONE of the domain VMs will start. They all fail with the following error:

"libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: unable to reset PCI device 0000:3a:00.1: internal error: Active 0000:3a:00.0 devices on bus with 0000:3a:00.1, not doing bus reset"

I have read all of the other threads that are even remotely related and none of the suggestions work:
- At first it wasn't assigned to ANY VM, I assigned to sys-usb, no change as other VMs still do not launch.
- Set the pci_strictreset to FALSE (since it's in the sys-usb domain), no change as other VMs still do not launch.
- Verified that the device is not assigned to ANY other VMs except for the sys-usb, no change as other VMs still do not launch.

Quite frankly I don't even care of the SD card reader works (I never use it anyway) but it's blocking me getting Qubes working. Is there any other way I can disable it, or any suggestions on other things I can try to get past this issue.

Thanks in advance for any help!

99% sure the problem will disappear once you assign the device to sys-net and set strictreset to false in sys-net.

That WORKED! Thanks for the quick reply. Now I just have to figure out how to configure my WiFi in the sys-net.
