Is ICH10 passthrough still broken in ESXi 5.5 Update 1?

[Faize]

One of the reasons why I've never upgraded to 5.5 is because ICH10 passthrough was broken. Has that been fixed in Update 1, or is it still an issue?

Hi,

I don' know about ICH10 but that has issue in NFS storage, VMware is working on this issue.

So I think, you have to wait for new patch or new release.

Is there a KB article with more details on that issue? If its impact is severe enough then I'm not going to even bother testing, so it'd be good to know.

You can install ESXi 5.5 and apply appreciated patches on that.

I totally forgot about this until now, but the answer is "yes, it's still broken".
