        Not entirely strange, a driver version can make the difference.

            @yllar @mik @Pilow @marcvds Hello, we think we now understand better this issue.
            We think it's a Xen issue with regard to PCI devices on segment 0001 (which is your case) and not a dom0 driver issue.

            Could you give a try to this ISO installer please?
            Please note that this is a custom test ISO and it is therefore not officially supported, do not use it for production, it is just to confirm that it fixes your issue, we will release a supported ISO in the future (target date for now is June).

            unsupported test ISO for you to test: https://nextcloud.vates.tech/index.php/s/iHf8sqq39EqE683

            Regards,
            Yann

              Thank you.

              I tested it and I can confirm this solves the issue.
              Hope you can release the fix quickly.

                  Has this been fixed by the update described here?

                    @yllar I'm not sure honestly (I will have to ask the rest of the team), but anyway, even if it were fixed by latest xen package, we still didn't publish a new installer ISO with the fix.
                    Target is still around June for the new ISO.
                    Regards,
                    Yann

                      Hi, is June still the target for the iso?

                      Thanks

                        @yllar I'm not sure, maybe it'll slip to July.
                        But what I can say is that the ISO is currently being tested in our QA process.
                        Brace yourself, it's coming soon 🙂
