actually I'm a happy Qubes 3.2 user on Intel platform for more than a year now !
I'm looking to upgrade my actual Skylake build with an AMD one with the new Ryzen Pinnacle Ridge CPU (R7 2700) and installing Qubes 4.0 on the same occasion. The Asrock X470 Taichi seems a really nice motherboard for it.
I've found the IOMMU Groups of this motherboard on reddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/8i8yqq/iommu_groups_for_asrock_taichi_x470/
and it seems there's a big group 13 with LAN, USB and SATA controllers. I wonder if the netVM and USB VM will actually be able to passthrough these controllers if they are in the same IOMMU Group ?
Any Ryzen / Qubes users can confirm this works OK or this is a no go ?
Thanks for your help !
I've observed that Qubes installation rarely ever succeeds on X370 motherboards so I believe the same case applies to X470 motherboards with a higher chance of failure since it is newer. The reason for this I believe is because these high-end gaming motherboards have alot of functionalities/bugs that break/interfere with Qubes installation which is an awful letdown.
So while that mobo having separate IOMMU groups being a plus, it doesn't matter much when you're still in the installation phase of Qubes (Which is the real hard phase to overcome when it comes to Qubes).
On a side note, I wanna ask
Do you play games/tried playing games on that Qubes 3.2 installation of yours by any chance?
