Re: [vfio-users] Guest does not boot OS with GPU passed through, stuck at TianoCore boot splash

Thank you for your detailed response! So if I understand you correctly, you are saying that from now on the issue lies within the guest OS, and thus I am rather limited in what I can do on my end. The good news is that I have actually gotten it to work with a Windows 10 guest. Running Windows

Re: [vfio-users] Guest does not boot OS with GPU passed through, stuck at TianoCore boot splash

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 . On Mon, Apr 11, 2016 at 10:47 PM, Alex Williamson wrote: On Mon,

Re: [vfio-users] Guest does not boot OS with GPU passed through, stuck at TianoCore boot splash

As far as I can tell, the other PCI device is the HDMI audio controller of the graphics card. It is listed as a seperate PCI device and I assigned it to the VM, too. I haven't explicitly added any USB devices, although it seems like there are some per default. I have linked the respective

Re: [vfio-users] Guest does not boot OS with GPU passed through, stuck at TianoCore boot splash

Possibly more appropriate to the spirit of another thread, but for what it's worth Alex, I'm using both emulated graphics and an NVIDIA GTX 970 together, successfully. Not going to try to derail this further, just felt that it's worth noting for anybody who catches this in the archive. On Mon,

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I did this and have uploaded the log here: http://pastebin.com/BXU9UqiG I don't really see any apparent errors in there... I wasn't necessarily expecting this to work with my card, but I thought I'd try it anyways. Of course I won't really have another

Re: [vfio-users] Guest does not boot OS with GPU passed through, stuck at TianoCore boot splash

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 newer one from https://www.kraxel.org/repos/jenkins/edk2/ and pointed the respective XML tag to the newer OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd, but that did not change anything. I

He's also should be able to attach just the .efi file or install graphics drivers via qxl. On Apr 11, 2016 6:48 PM, "Laszlo Ersek" wrote: > On 04/10/16 16:46, Blank Field wrote: > > > What you can do - convert libvirt xml into a usual qemu command line, > > and add an ISA

100% one core CPU? What kind of disk device you have? Are you passing through a physical disk? What you can do - convert libvirt xml into a usual qemu command line, and add an ISA debug console and check OVMF debug output in it. On Apr 10, 2016 5:04 PM, "Stefan Seil" wrote:

Hello there!   I am trying to set up a PCI passthrough for my graphics card. I followed the instructions on vfio.blogspot.com and used vfio-pci and OVMF, and so far everything seemed to work fine. When I now try to start the VM with my graphics card passed through, though, it shows the TianoCore
