From what I recall, Linux cares about the underlying PCI configuration whereas Windows does not. Have you tried attaching your GPU to an ioh3420 root port? That should rectify the problem.

Thank you for your reply.

I have a Core i7 4770 running on ASROCK Fatal1ty Z87 Professional, 32GB RAM, Sapphire Tri-X R9 290.

I tried using OVMF too and had same results, unfortunately. Windows works fine but Linux do not.

What is your HW?

I would recommend trying the whole thing on Arch Linux using this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF

Although I don't have experience with OVMF, using seabios happily with RX480.

Hi,

For quite some time I have been able to do a pass-through of R9 290 to
Windows VMs using KVM. The problem is that I tried to use Linux and it
does not work. Tried Fedora and Ubuntu and both did not work. Funny
thing is that Ubuntu startup/shutdown screens show on the secondary
monitor but not the system itself.

I tried using i440FX and Q35, same results. Used the same configuration
I use for my working Windows VMs.

I had opened a but few months ago but no answer so far.

I just wonder if someone was able to bypass this problem or has some
suggestion.

Thank you,

Carlos
