got the same issue here. GPU as primary won't make the VM to boot. I got it work only by using VNC as primary and add my GPU a 2nd graphic cards. VM now boot.

Squid , i may be need a help on this. i'm not able to run openelec or libreelec headless using the pre-packaged vm . I already post on this and never get answer https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=48290.0 I do run Librelec or openelec using passthough GPU perfectly. If I use the pre-packaged version , I get the mount error and if I use the johnodon method with VNC , I get error like "failed to start xorg. is your GPU supported?" Any hint on this ? I get the exact same problem, when trying to passthrough, but always just wrote it off as my P.O.S. server. But, my point in the quote was to NOT passthrough anything, as the pre-packaged versions work 100% perfectly without passthrough and use that as a "headless" install until Kodi gets around to creating their own headless option. my vm passtrough version is for my media room. it works perflecty. but I was running kodi headless docker , now it's broke. I want to run a headless libreelec VM , with prepackaged version (no passthrough) but I always get this error ; <domain type='kvm'> <name>OpenELEC</name> <uuid>a7e5bff4-8888-f13f-3256-d3c9dd92bdba</uuid> <description>OpenELEC Headless</description> <metadata> <vmtemplate xmlns="unraid" name="OpenELEC" icon="openelec.png" openelec="6.0.3_1"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>524288</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>524288</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>2</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='6'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='7'/> </cputune> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-2.5'>hvm</type> <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd</loader> <nvram>/etc/libvirt/qemu/nvram/a7e5bff4-8888-f13f-3256-d3c9dd92bdba_VARS-pure-efi.fd</nvram> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> </features> <cpu> <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='utc'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/sbin/qemu</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/disks/CT480BX200SSD1_1542F00E9079/OpenELEC/OpenELEC-unRAID.x86_64-6.0.3_1.img'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='virtio'/> <readonly/> <boot order='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <master startport='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <master startport='4'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='sata' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pcie-root'/> <controller type='pci' index='1' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge'> <model name='i82801b11-bridge'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1e' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='2' model='pci-bridge'> <model name='pci-bridge'/> <target chassisNr='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </controller> <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'> <source dir='/mnt/cache/appdata/OpenELEC/'/> <target dir='appconfig'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </filesystem> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:0a:bb:db'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='connect'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' websocket='-1' listen='0.0.0.0'> <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/> </graphics> <video> <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' vgamem='16384' heads='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> </domain> nobody never get this issue ?

just a quick feedback.. tx jonp , it works

got it work too. before Capabilities: [68] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ and now Capabilities: [68] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ using the tools. I will need to confirm that demonize sound will not come back.

In my case I use the audio through HDMI and I could probably call it that way "demonic audio" . I'll try it right away .

same issue here. I tried Win7 and Win8. GPU : MSI GTX 970. MOBO : Inter DX58SO I7 940 Memory : 24 GB Everything runs fine on statup but randomly I got my audio stutter/slow down like mostlydave said. Sound get in slow motion. Graphics get slower too but not much. Need to restart the VM to get audio works without distortion.

Perfect guys, i'll try to look if there any firmware update available for my card ,pretty sure it is not up to date. Secondly , I will try with the rom file. I will keep you update of my results. BTW , FYI - I read on some post and some people getting a black screen when they try to passthrough . I can tell that with my motherboard, I do not have on-board GPU and when the bios boot it will take the first PCIe slot with a video cards by default and when you want to pass through it. You can see that the VM try to take control of it then screen comes black with no error and the vm boot well except that the GPU will not be listed in the hardware from that VM. Maybe it could be specified somewhere in the wiki of KVM

Hi Guys , I will need some help here, here some info of my setup Mobo: Intel DX58SO CPU : Intel® Core™ i7 CPU 940 @ 2.93GHz Memory : 20480 MB GPU 1 : MSI GTX 970 GPU 2 : Zotac GTX 560 HD : 14 TB So I successfuly run two VM's , Kodibuutu(GTX560) and Windows 10(GTX970). Both work with PCIe passthrough My problem happen when I shutdown/reboot any VM's that use de GTX560.

If I want to re-use this GPU I need to reboot the physical machine. Can anybody know a solution for that ?
