PCI Passthrough Setup, unknown command intel_iommu=on

I am trying to enable PCIE Passthrough to a virtual machine. After adding the option intel_iommu=on to my grub config, I ran these commands: sudo dmesg | grep -i -e DMAR -e IOMMU which gave me an "Unkown command line parameters" error

sudo dmesg | grep -i -e DMAR -e IOMMU

[    0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=e7054f01-50ff-4315-bc2d-e39371268425 rw quiet iommu=1 intel_iommu=on

[    0.090698] DMAR: IOMMU enabled

[    0.500557] AMD-Vi: AMD IOMMUv2 functionality not available on this system
[    0.924791]     intel_iommu=on


Here is the line which I modified in /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet iommu=1 intel_iommu=on"
 

I also ran this bash script

#!/bin/bash
shopt -s nullglob
for g in `find /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/* -maxdepth 0 -type d | sort -V`; do
    echo "IOMMU Group ${g##*/}:"
    for d in $g/devices/*; do
        echo -e "\t$(lspci -nns ${d##*/})"
    done;
done;

The output of this script was: IOMMU Group .:

My RIG:
CPU:Intel i9-10900k
Motherboard:ROG MAXIMUS XII FORMULA
Bootloader: GRUB

I'm trying to pass through devices to a virtual machine. Any guidance would be appreciated. I'm sorry if this is not the right section for this question.

Re: PCI Passthrough Setup, unknown command intel_iommu=on

The reporting of the option as unknown is an error in the kernel see https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commi … e5e1591619
