[AUTOPILOT] VFIO Passthrough Not working, even if VFIO-PCI Devices are detected

[Hydroponic-Gardener]

Describe the Issue

Upon finally setting up VFIO-PCI using Autopilot, I've tried to start a GPU passthrough. But when I try to run the "autopilot", it just says "No VFIO-PCI Devices found".

The GRUB config line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="vfio-pci.ids=8086:1912 intel_iommu=on iommu=pt video=efifb:off quiet splash modprobe.blacklist=i915"

Results:

Reproduce the Issue

Setup the kernel using the built-in tools
Regenerate GRUB
Reboot
Attempt to use AUTOPILOT to set it up
"No VFIO-PCI Devices Found" error

Expectation

VFIO-PCI Device, being my iGPU to be detected. Which it worked with the Audio Output from intel's iGPU

Operating System

Fedora 43

Kernel

6.18.2-200.nobara.fc43.x86_64

Processor

i7-6700

RAM (in GB)

64

GPU(s)

Passthrough: iGPU (Intel HD 530). Main: Nvidia GTX 1660

You may need to add more than one entry to your vfio-pci.ids arg. It's unlikely your iGPU only has one identifier.

You may need to add more than one entry to your vfio-pci.ids arg. It's unlikely your iGPU only has one identifier.

I've checked around, turns out that, due to how my audio driver is setup in IOMMU Groups, it might not be possible? (IOMMU Group 8)
