November 7, 2025Nov 7 I've built a Sonoma VM and am trying to passthrough my AMD WX 2100 gpu. I've followed the instructions from SpaceInvaderOne but cannot seem to get it to work. The VM boots up and is accessible using virtual GPU, and will also boots when I add the physicals devices, and can connect via RealVNC. Unfortunately, the GPU is not listed in the VM and I'm restricted to a lower resolution.The bindings are as follows.lspci -k | grep -A 2 "09:00"09:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Lexa XT [Radeon PRO WX 2100] Subsystem: Dell Device 0b0c Kernel driver in use: vfio-pci--09:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Baffin HDMI/DP Audio [Radeon RX 550 640SP / RX 560/560X] Subsystem: Dell Device aae0 Kernel driver in use: vfio-pciIs it right that the audio device is listed as RX 550.... which strangely was my old gpu which is no longer in the sytemI'm running Unraid 7.2I get the following output.Script location: /tmp/user.scripts/tmpScripts/Dump vBios/scriptNote that closing this window will abort the execution of this scriptYou have selected this device to dump the vbios from09:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Lexa XT [Radeon PRO WX 2100]This does look like a valid GPU to me. Continuing .........Checking if location to put vbios file existsVbios folder already existsI will try and dump the vbios without disconnecting and reconnecting the GPUThis normally only works if the GPU is NOT the Primary or the only GPUI will check the vbios at the end. If it seems wrong I will then retry after disconnecting the GPUDefining temp vm with gpu attachedDomain 'dumpvbios' defined from /tmp/dumpvbios.xmlStarting the temp vm to allow dumpDomain 'dumpvbios' startedWaiting for a few seconds .....Stopping the temp vmDomain 'dumpvbios' destroyedRemoving the temp vmDomain 'dumpvbios' has been undefinedOkay dumping vbios file named WX2100.rom to the location /mnt/user/isos/vbios/cat: rom: Input/output errorUm.... somethings gone wrong and I couldn't dump the vbios for some reasonSometimes when this happens all we need to do to fix this is 'stub' or 'bind to the vfio' the gpu and reboot the serverThis can be done in Unraid 6.8.3 with the use of the vfio config plugin or if you are on Unraid 6.9 or above it can be donedirectly from the gui in Tools/System Devices .....So please do this and run the script againAny help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need any further information.Thanks.
November 9, 2025Nov 9 Author I've now managed to dump the vbios on a Windows PC using GPU Z. Sonoma boots and I can VNC to it when while the it is using the WX 2100 as the primary GPU, but it's not visible from within the VM.Any ideas?
