*Specs*OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Mobo: ASUS Sabertooth X99 CPU: i7-5930K RAM: 32G DDR4 GPU: Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 970
I've successfully installed qemu, libvirt, edk2.git-ovmf-x64 and vfio-linux. I have successfully dedicated one gpu to vfio and the other to the nvidia driver. Each of my gpus are listed in different groups, so I don't need the ACS over ride patch. As such, I'm using the standard kernel. I'm following the following guide <http://vfio.blogspot.com/2015/05/vfio-gpu-how-to-series-part-4-our-first.html> in an attempt to setup the initial VM but I'm running into various problems. 1. If I manually enter "host-pass-through" in Processor>CPUs>Configuration>Model:, my host will lock up when I click "Begin Installation". My only option is to hard reset the host. I've been using Haswell-noTSX instead. Will this be okay? What would cause "host-passthrough" to freeze my host like that? 2. When booting to the EFI shell, I'm unable to load the linked virtio drivers <https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.113-1/> or the Windows 10 install iso, even though I've selected them as IDE CDROM 1 & 2. When I select CDROM 1 in the boot options of the EFI shell, it says to press any key to boot from cd rom, but when I do nothing happens and it goes back to the EFI shell. Is this likely a problem with my isos or is it possible that I'm doing something wrong? 3. I don't have the Bridge option available as a network source. Is this something I can create through virt-manager or do I need to look elsewhere. If you know of a link, it would be very helpful - I'm don't know enough about how this works to google the right keywords. Any help that you can provide is greatly appreciated. Best, Garland
