[vfio-users] RX580 pcie vfio passtrough is not redirected correctly since updates

2017-07-24 Thread Th3R3al
Hey VFIO-Users and supporters, since april I am a happy user of vfio and graphics card redirection to Windows 10 Pro. Since the last updates I got some trouble with my setup, that the windows vm is crashing if there is a driver and the RX 580 is passtroughed to it. For troubleshooting purposes I

An update: The slow boot does not occur if I remove host devices from the virtual machine (without any other configuration changes). It doesn't matter whether GPU, USB, or both are passed in. Any device being passed in at all triggers the problem, so it's something related to the physical device p

Hi, just registered to the list to share my experience on this; I've been getting my OVMF builds from kraxel.org since edk2.git-ovmf-x64-0-20150804.b1143.g8ca1489.noarch.rpm and was regularly updating when new builds came. Somwhere around edk2.git-ovmf-x64-0-20151221.b1390.g5ba9f06.noarch.rpm boot

Hi, I'm running a Win10 VM on a X99 host with i7-5820k and up-to-date Arch. OVMF is from a manually extracted RPM from the Fedora repository (https://www.kraxel.org/repos/jenkins/edk2/ (https://www.kraxel.org/repos/jenkins/edk2/)). The VM boots fast.. I'm also passing through a GTX 970, though

I would definitely agree that it is not OVMF or Arch: I've seen a few reports of really long boots with Windows 10 recently on physical hardware. I run Arch with Win 7 on OVMF and have not seen any change in boot time behavior. My hardware is a bit older with a 4930k and Quadro K2000. Can yo

Hi Ivan, I also have a EVGA GTX 970 and have experienced similar issues with graphical corruption and outright crashes. I was able to fix it by installing MSI Afterburner and downclocking my GPU. I also set a custom profile for fan control so that the GPU runs cooler. The working configuration fo

Hey folks, I've got a working GPU passthrough configuration with an Nvidia GTX 970 and i7 5820k on an up-to-date Arch Linux system. I'm not using any special packages, just the standard Linux kernel and qemu. The script I use for launching is out there on GitHub: https://github.com/jkoelndorfer/lo
