@gridrunner Thanks so much. I'm a little star stuck, I love your vids. I had read that the ROM passtrhough was only for OVMF, I was just frustrated I'd felt like I'd tried everything ha. New in to the IT field and I'm loving playing with unRAID at home and at work, and this was giving me so much issue, and it was right in front of my face! Ran in to some issues getting these VM's I had already installed to play nice, so now I'm making a fresh one. Thanks again!

Here is a hopefully more full of details diagnostic zip, I made a new vm with OVMF, and launched it, and got nothing, and then tried launching one that i had the bios for the video card in the xml. I'll keep messing with some settings and whatnot and maybe upload another diagnostic file if it'll help. I'm just not sure where I'm getting stuck. cerebra-diagnostics-20170905-1625.zip

Its a server board so no onboard video. I cant seem to get the system to boot with anything in the top PCIe slot, so I dont know if the cheap/old card will work on this current board. I'll try to run a few of the VM's and repost the diag. There isnt an error that I can see, the vm starts and the screen just stays black.

Here we go! cerebra-diagnostics-20170905-1345.zip

I've watched all of @gridrunner videos on youtube, sometimes religiously. But I'm still running in to problems. I'm working on unRAID machine for work and I've been able to create a couple VM's in SeaBIOS and OVMF, but I cannot connect to them other than with VNC. My hardware is: Mobo: TYAN - S5396 CPUs Dual Xeon 3.0ghz GFX GeForce GTX 760 ( I do have other options and cards I can use) 16gb ECC RAM PC2-5300f The only issue I KNOW I have with my hardware is that it beeps at me if I have a gfx card in the first PCIe slot when I try to boot it. But it seems just fine in the other PCIe slot until I turn on the VM. Now I did run in to issues getting the IOMMU enabled on my mobo at the beginning of my adventure at work here, but I updated the BIOS and turning on the intel vt-d didnt disable the nic's on my board anymore haha. So now the issue is just passing through the GFX card, so that I can use the VM's to their full potential. Before turning on PCIe ACS Override here are my IOMMU groups After they are And here is one of the VMs XML I've been playing with this server for 2 weeks on and off, and its frustrating that I can get a VM created and up and running, but I cant seem to get the video pass through to work.

Hey, I am in a similar situation. I have 2 unRAID machines, and I'm looking to get VM's up on them soon my self, but I'm having some difficulty getting video output on the one I'm working at at work with more server style hardware. I'll be playing with my home set up this weekend to see if I can make any headway there with different hardware. I'm in a similar position as m1a8x2 here as I have tried almost everything I've see on the forums here or in Spaceinvader One's videos on youtube. My hardware is: Mobo: TYAN - S5396 CPUs Dual Xeon 3.0ghz GFX GeForce GTX 760 ( I do have other options and cards I can use) 16gb ECC RAM PC2-5300f The only issue I KNOW I have with my hardware is that it beeps at me if I have a gfx card in the first PCIe slot when I try to boot it.

Here is one of my VM's XML I did try an unedited gpu bios, and an edited one. Here is my IOMMU groups. And sorry m1a8x2 I don't mean to hijack your thread, I'm just in a very similar place. I wont be back at work till monday. But I'm fairly stuck. I have a few different VM's loaded up and ready to go, and nothing will pass through the GPU. Tried SeaBIOS and ovmf, and so far just hitting a wall. Thanks for any help!
