[Bug 1528849] [NEW] PCI passthrough of LSI card fails

 

Public bug reported:

Using ESXi version 6. With an Ubuntu 14.04 guest, passthrough works
fine. With Ubuntu 15.10, the card is passed through but boot is slow and
there are time outs reporting in logs. Disk devices do not show up in
guest OS. This can also be seen during a fresh install/live CD boot of
Ubuntu 15.10 vs 14.04.
