Public bug reported:
The initialisation of a gpu that is being pass through to a VM created
with virt-manager hangs with the error "Radeon xxx:xx:xx.x Expecting
atombios for evergreen gpu" where xxx:xx:xx.x is the pci-id of the gpu.
I have tried this with a few AMD cards and I get the same error every
time. On the host side the radeon en fglrx modules are blacklisted (my
main gpu is a nvidia 750 ti card). From searching for this error on
google I understand that this the firmware isn't properly loaded by kvm.
Instead the firmware file can be pass through to the VM to solve this
problem. However it is impossible at this time to pass through a
firmware file with virt-manager.
