Here is the EFI that I made but doesn't work causing a constant boot loop showing the Tiano Core Bios Screen... OpenCoreEFI.zip Now here is where things get interesting... I found this post https://www.nicksherlock.com/2020/04/installing-macos-catalina-on-proxmox-with-opencore/ and used his OpenCore efi file and it actually works, allowing me to select boot of install media. His is a .iso though. It also doesn't really help because its kernal panics while loading the installer in verbose mode and I don't know how to change the files in it besides turning on verbose mode from shell. Will post a xml when I can.

Well Unraid uses QEMU for its VM's so if you've used that then you know what to expect. The storage system though is unique though in that it is NOT raid, while still having redundancy. Not exactly an enterprise solution YET but is getting there. Development of Zfs in Unraid is being talked about but isn't a thing yet. Unraid is free for 30 days with a Maxed out license for the 30days, so that should let you evaluate things for yourself.

Nope, but Steam In-Home Streaming can stream the desktop as well for AMD.

Remove the vbios and boot without it. Its not a requirement and is optional.

If it was on a UEFI shell window then it couldn't find a boot device. You need to set the Install ISO as boot device in boot order.

Wait you need to set BIOS to OVMF and Machine to Q35.

Moonlight can be used for the general desktop as well.

You would want a GPU passed through. You could do Moonlight / Steam Stream for the remote part if you wanted or pass through a whole usb controller for your usb devices.

You should probably post this under bug reports or a mod should move this to bug reports.

Hmmm... well thats strange. I can tell you for a fact that you MUST have GPU/audio IDs in the syslinux config like you did at end of your post.

Ok i followed this guide but I get a constant boot loop showing the OVMF bios then black reboot. Never shows the opencore interface. Only part I didn't do is this... since I don't have a vm up yet. "Rename the EFI partition from "NO NAME" to "EFI" From the virtual machine you can mount the new EFI partition and rename it with the command: sudo diskutil rename /dev/disk0s1 "EFI" where disk0s1 is the EFI partition." Any ideas?

Also open the VM configs, remove the pci cards from the virsh xml file and re add them. I think the <source><address></source> changes when the card moves slots so when the VM starts and goes looking for the card it's not their anymore.

Yes that's what I was trying to say, what device is at vfio-pci.ids=1022:43b9? When changing slots the device you expect to be 1022:43b9 and grouping could change at least as far as I am aware. Try this, remove every address you added to vfio-pci.ids so it boots, then revisit iommu groups, find the address of each device you intend to passthrough while making sure there arn't new devices conflicting in a iommu group, and add it to vfio-pci.ids= .

When your moving the cards to different slots are you making sure the vfio pci addresses arn't changing when they get a new slot? You might need to update the syslinux file with new vfio addresses.

Looking for help / guide on how to create a OpenCoreEFI qcow2 or img file that boots. I already have my Efi folder configured and ready. Cheers!

Yeah I think you need to use the Code 43 workaround on Linux as well if you want to use Nvidia Drivers on non quadro cards.

Post your IOMMU groups, I can tell from that which can be passed through.

You don't need a plugin to do it, just add it to the syslinux file. Works with all VM OS's.

For NVME drives that are in their own IOMMU group just add it to the vfio.pci list and check it as a pci devices in VM creation. NVME are really just pcie cards so no need to add them as a drive, Windows will see a pcie drive that it can install on.

Hello, So I have decided to give OpenCore a try over the old clover, but the OpenCore website only shows how to add the EFI to a flash drive. How do I create a Qcow2 or IMG containing a bootable EFI? I have the EFI files configured already and are based off of Leoyzens example config https://github.com/Leoyzen/KVM-Opencore I have 3 virtual drives, 1. (Done) OSDrive.qcow2 2. (Empty) for OpenCoreEFI.qcow2 that community explains how to make. 3. (Done) OSInstaller.img Any help is appreciated! Cheers! P.S. Leoyzen, this line is not helpful lol Usage: 1. Download the repository and put the EFI under your EFI disk

Yes, the USB lan port would need to connect to a switch connected to lan port of pfsense. It might help you to see it if you draw it out on paper. Also ask around which USB NICs work in Unraid, some may use an incompatible controller. Cheers!

Hello, you were close when you got the Group 12 that I quoted from your post HOWEVER you were trying to only passthrough your RTX 2070s usb-c controller. vfio-pci.ids=10de:1ada,10de:1adb are your USB 3.1 controller and serial bus on your 2070. You need to be passing through the VGA Controller @ 10de:1f02 and your GPUs audio @ 10de:10f9. Also you must passthrough everything in group 12 including the RTX USB-C controller you were trying to passthrough before. Your vfio-pci.ids should look like this... vfio-pci.ids=10de:1f02,10de:10f9,10de:1ada,10de:1adb Once you do that make sure you select everything listed in Group 12 to passthrough in Unraid VM Win10 config PCI Devices. Hope this helps. Cheers!

Hello, Well firstly, if you passthrough both nics on that motherboard you wouldn't be able to access Unraid over the network. Your third nic is a IPMI management port and can't be used for Unraid network access. Second, I would need to see what your IOMMU Groups look like to tell you if both Intel® i210 nics are able to be passed through. The nics would both need to be in their own separate IOMMU Groups. Third, you could technically passthrough both nics and use a USB 3.0 to Gigabit ethernet adapter to give Unraid something to still access the network. Hope this helps you. Cheers!

I am really frustrated, I am stuck at installer boot. Starting in verbose shows that the installer stops with End RandomSeed +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Oh joy, 2 days gone troubleshooting still a RandomSeed. Note: Using Kubuntu 18.04lts with IOMMU enabled for KVM.
