I am switching to the new 6.7.0-rc1 "config/vfio-pci.cfg" but it didn't work. The usb controller I am trying to passthrough didn't show in other pci devices in the vm manager. Here is the content of the vfio-pci.cfg file:

BIND=07:00.0 08:00.0

What is the full path to the the file?

On the flash boot drive inside the config folder (/boot/config/vfio-pci.cfg)

That seems like the correct path. Was wondering since you didn't type the full path in the first post. 

Is the cards bound to vfio if you issue lspci -v?

Here is the controller that I wanted to passthrough in the lspci -v output

There is something wrong with either the new method or something you do, but I don't see anything wrong with what you posted. I'll test it at home this weekend and see if I get the same result.

Thank you for your help. At the mean time I will switch back to the old method. Please post here after you've done testing the new result.

It works here with only one PC number, but adding one more and it breaks. I only tried on RC1, but there are no mention of it being fixed in the RC2 release notes.
