I'm trying to create a VM on unRAID 6.1.9 with the following hardware:
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 using a bios version someone else received from Gigabyte to add a menu to enable VT-d
i7-920
6 GB Ram
XFX R5-220 in X16_1
Gigabyte GV-R478D5-1GD in X16_2
Intel 530 SSD
and a host of other HDDs
I've tried creating a VM with Windows 7 and Windows Home Server 2011, both have the same result:
VM creation error
internal error: early end of file from monitor: possible problem:

I can only assume it's a GPU passthrough issue. I'm trying to pass the 4870 through, but I've tried to pass the R5 as well, with the same result.
