Ever since I "upgraded" my X10SLM esxi from 5.5 to 6.0u1, my usb controllers on the motherboard have been going crazy.
In 5.5, with my motherboard bios setting eHCI hands off- enabled, xHCI hands off- disabled, xHCI mode - Smart Auto, I could pass through one of the usb2 controllers to a windows 7 VM.
After upgrade, same bios setting, passthrough had no effect. USB devices just were not detected. Silly me, passthrough both usb2 controllers , which made things work again but now my esxi USB drive cannot be updated. So I did the whole ESXI setup again, I went into the motherboard bios, changed the xHCI mode to "enabled", all my usb controllers disappeared.
Now I disabled both eHCI and xHCI hands off , with xHCI mode back to Smart Auto - both my usb2 or ehci controllers returned.
Please help me figure out how to just passthrough just 1 of the USB controllers.
Much thanks
