[SOLVED] Trying to get IOMMU to work

$

Hi,

I have been trying to get passthrough to work, but I am not having any luck. I was hoping that someone here could help.
The reason is, I have wanted to run Windows 98 SE for a while to play some old games and mess around with the "Intel book" by B. Brey.

I can get Win 98 to install and run if I change the Domain in the XML from KVM -> QEMU. However, no networking with QEMU. BTW, it will not finish starting up (Stops at a black screen with a flashing cursor) with Domain = KVM.
I have tried F8 -> Step-by-step but that doesn't work.

So I figured I would use passthrough.

I have the following in my grub file:
Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="intel_iommu=on"
When I run:
Code:

dmesg | grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU
[    0.000000] DMAR: IOMMU enabled

All I get is that one line.

Also if I:
dmesg | grep "Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O"

I do not get anything.
Does that mean that IOMMU is not supported?

My laptop Spec:
HP Envy M6
CPU: i7 3632QM
RAM: 16Gb

Xubuntu 18.10

Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards.
