Problem solved!
After I moved the GPU to DELL Server, everything is back.
Seems like previous server can't keep BMC as primary video output. But DELL
had this option to choose.
If BMC keeps enable on DELL server, GPU will not be controlled by any
drivers, even no blacklist to them.
Anyway thanks
Hi Eddie,
Sorry, I just noticed I wrote 'comment out' but I meant to say comment
them. So no GRUB_GFXMODE should be enabled.
That works for me with a RX480, but maybe your K420 behaves different..

Hi Pim,
This is what I goning to write and solved vesafb issue on this working.
Not only set video=vesafb:off, but also need to set following settings in
GRUB.
GRUB_TERMINAL=console
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text
Even that, The monitor still shows on K420 and I still got Code 43 in the
VM.
At least
Could you try to edit /etd/default/grub and comment out all
GRUB_GFXMODE= lines and add GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="text". Afterwards run
update-grub.
This works for me on Ubuntu to passthrough my primary gpu.
With kidn rgds, Pim

After tried video=vesafb:off, nomodeset, or nofb, still have no luck.
vesafb still occupying the card..
Okay, need to find another way, trying to set BMC as primary VGA.
Anyway thanks for help, at least I had the way to solve it.
Thanks,
Eddie.

Hi Alex, thanks for the reply!
I realized that primary VGA is usually controlled by BIOS, that mean can
choose discrete GPU or BMC as primary VGA.
Unfortunately this server doesn't include this option. So that I can't
choose BMC as primary VGA, and seems like can't setup vesafb to use BMC
manually

Hi there,
I'm trying to do passthrough on another machine, since I can do the same
thing on the original, I think it would be easy, but I was wrong.
Here's the info about this server.
CPU: Intel Xeon E5 2620 v2 x 2
OS: Ubuntu 16.04 Server (Kernel ver: 4.4.0)
QEMU verison: 2.5.0 (Debian 1:2.5+dfs
