pkanaan Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Hello, I am new to Unraid and a bit lost. I would be thankful for any help or pointing me in the right direction/thread. The problem: I can neither get Win10, nor Macinabox Big Sur to run as a VM. Trying to add a Win10-VM already fails during creation, thus not even creating the VM- the error that I get is a popup window telling me VM creation error internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor Setting up Macinabox essentially fails when I try to allocate multiple cores and add GPU-passthrough (with a specific BIOS-file)- resulting in a black screen and one cpu-core staying on 100% load all the time. (I did follow SpaceinvaderOne's steps). My Hardware: - Ryzen 5900x - Gigabyte Aorus Pro x570 - Sapphire Pulse RX 570 See the attachments for the IOMMU and Mac-VM-XML. (I have no checkbox for "Bind selected to VFIO at boot" checked) IOMMU.rtf MacOsBigSur Quote Link to comment
acurunner79 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) I think posting your template settings would help a bit if you can... As for the Macintosh, I find it difficult to find a compatible gpu for passthrough. I know that High Sierra can run on some NVIDIA cards but I think if you try anything higher it'll be tricky, especially with Big Sur. Wish I was more of a help on the Mac VM. The Windows VM should be no problem so I'm curious to see how your settings are. I'm not too familiar running an AMD GPU on a Windows VM but I don't remember coming across any issues with that online or on any of Spaceinvaders videos.

pkanaan Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hello again, thank you for the answer. In the meantime I was actually able to get almost everything running. Both Win10 and MacOS Big Sur are running- seemingly with GPU passthrough. I could not yet benchmark the systems and the MacOS has very slow internet connection. Once I was able to verify the capabilities and sort out the slow-internet-issue I will post as many details as I can here, so potentially help users with similar setups. If anyone has suggestions for the internet-problem in the meantime I would obviously be grateful Cheers! Quote Link to comment
