Hello! I’m attempting to passthrough an AMD 9070xt (upgraded from an Intel B580) to my Windows 11 VM running on Unraid.
Unraid 7.0.1 Kernel 6.6.78-Unraid
This is how it appears under “System Devices”:
IOMMU group 16: [1002:7550] 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Device 7550 (rev c0)
IOMMU group 17: [1002:ab40] 03:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Device ab40
I’m able to get the VM to boot (I know cause I hear the windows 11 boot chime), but no video output. I have the bios rom attached to the VM.
Checking the logs I see a few errors:
2025-03-11T17:24:52.029342Z qemu-system-x86_64: vfio: Unable to power on device, stuck in D3
2025-03-11T17:24:52.033472Z qemu-system-x86_64: vfio: Unable to power on device, stuck in D3
Here is the XML for the VM:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
