I ran into this recently while changing graphics cards in my host. In my case, it was referring to a source (host) device that was listed twice twice in the XML. Once I found it (please can you let us search the whole XML at once!?) and changed it as well, I could save it no problem. (edit, if you have changed hardware in the form view, you may need to switch to XML view so you can see all the hardware - IIRC, the form view hides hardware that isn't there any more, but it still there in the XML)

Thank you for that! I wound up figuring it out by putting the drive into a new VM under the Form View, and then copying the XML it created. A bit frustrating that the upgrade didn't catch and update it, but very happy to have my machines back up and running!

Hello! I recently upgraded to 6.10.3 and now my primary VM on my machine is not starting, and gives the following error: Other VMs start, and I'm not sure why this one isn't. It has been running without a problem for the past several versions of Unraid. The /dev/disk/by-id/ link should not be a regular file - those are always symlinks to the /dev/sdx device, so I don't understand why it is complaining. Any thoughts or insights would be great! config is below <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'> <name>Uther BigSur

I bought one of these cards and it worked in Windows & Linux VMs for me, but did not work in a macOS VM.

Hey, sorry for the slow reply, was a crazy weekend. The kext worked for me too! My card has the 8086,1533 for the id's, so it must have just been the new kext in 11.4 Woo! Thank you so much!

Anybody have any ideas? Does anyone use ethernet passthrough for their macs? The card works just fine passed through to Windows and Linux.

Hi! I have a macinabox based Big Sur install that I've customized to use a pci-e graphics card (Radeon Vega64), an nvme drive for the OS, and an Intel i210 network card so that I can get decent throughput (the emulated e1000 just never performed well enough for me) and everything has been working great until I updated to 11.4 yesterday, and then VM would no longer finish booting up. :-/ Long story short, I set up the same hardware on a new VM using VNC (to get around having to power down the whole system due to the Radeon not resetting properly), and after a bunch of testing discovered that it is crashing whenever I plug in the ethernet cable into the i210 card and it gets an IP address. Really weird. Of note, I did also update from 6.9.1 to 6.9.2, but I've reverted back and the behaviour is the same, so I don't think that's related. The hardware behind this is a Dell T7910, and it has the i210 network card and a i217-LM, and from what I remember when I first researched which to pass to Macos, the i210 was more desirable. I suppose I can see about passing the other, but haven't had the energy to do that yet. Any ideas where I can start to debug this?
