Hello everyone

Anyone having Windows 10 guests with Radeon R9 290 passed through via VFIO, and if so, did you experience any problems installing drivers?

I have a R9290-DC2OC-4GD5 passed through to a Windows 10 guest (build 10586.104, newest ISO from Microsoft.com), and at first glance everything seems fine. I get output on my R9 290 GPU when I start my guest, Windows 10 boots, I am able to login etc., but I am stuck with some built-in Microsoft display driver because the Win10 guest reboots/BSODs when I try to install the AMD drivers.

Device manager on the guest shows a "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)" and its VEN_ID and DEV_ID indicates that it is the AMD R9 GPU. Regardless of whether I go through AMD's driver installer, or if I right-click this device and update driver the guest reboots during the installation.

I have tried different AMD driver verisons, but you can only go so far back before it complains that the driver does not support this version of Windows (i.e. version <14 does not support Win10).

Any suggestions as to what I might try to resolve this, or anyone with similar problems?

Thank you for reading,
JonasCJ

My config / setup is this:

Arch Linux, kernel 4.5.0, unpatched
CPU: Intel i7-4770
Guest GPU: R9290-DC2OC-4GD5
Host GPU: Built-in Intel i7 gpu
Motherboard: ASROCK Z87M Extreme 4 (GPU in PCI-E port 4)

I assume the basics are working since I get output on my guest gpu and no immediate BSODs/reboots etc., but for the sake of completeness:
