Oh, interesting. This seems to be what I am experiencing now (see my
answer to Laszlo). When I am now using additional emulated graphics, I
can see the boot output (on the emulated display) until it stops at a
certain point .

I am already running on 4.5, so that should be fine. The OVMF
version I was using was a couple of months old, so I just got a

pointed the respective XML tag to the newer OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd,
but that did not change anything.
I guess your card is from a different manufacturer then and thus
has a different ROM? Because if I try to use the standard ROM of
my card (as in not explicitly passing any rom file to the VM at
all), I don't get any output on the monitor connected to the card
at all.
What exactly do you mean with "AMD cards also have the option of
running as secondary graphics devices in many cases"?
You have two options when you assign a GPU to a VM, you can do it in
addition to the emulated graphics (cirrus/VGA/QXL) or instead of the
emulated graphics. You indicated following my blog, so I assume you
removed the emulated graphics when you added the assigned GPU. This
is necessary for NVIDIA GeForce, but many users have found that AMD
cards also work when added to the VM configuration with the emulated
graphics. No ROM is necessary on the assigned GPU in this case. The
emulated graphics will show the BIOS and early boot output, then the
assigned graphics can be enabled. This mode doesn't actually require
OVMF, it works with SeaBIOS too.
Anyway, I'm curious to the answers to Laszlo's questions. I've also
seen hangs at the TianoCore splash with certain USB host controllers
assigned. Thanks,
Alex
