francesco995 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hi, i am trying to build a new server with 2 windows vms (already have a nas with unraid form like 1 year and i want to have the nas and the pc in one system), and am having some serious problems so far: this is the host system M/B: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. - Z97X-UD3H-CF CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz HVM: Enabled IOMMU: Enabled Cache: 256 kB, 1024 kB, 6144 kB Memory: 8 GB (max. installable capacity 32 GB) (plan to install more ram if vms works) i am trying to build 2 vms: first vm: gtx570, working fine so far, with seabios (i think my gpu don't supports uefi boot) i have the problem that if i need to reboot the vm, i will need to reboot the entire server, but i know it's a problem with the gtx570, that i am going to change in the future the big problems are when i try to boot the second vm, with a gt230 gpu i tried every config possible (again only seabios): host passthrough / emulated 2 cores / 4 cores i440fx-2.5 / Q35-2.5 hyperv on / off but on every config, when i boot the vm, initially i see the windows loading screen, but then the monitor just lose signal i was able to install windows with vnc, i can only access the vm by changing the gpu to vnc (and if i let both vnc and the gtx230 i see error 43 on the gt230) if i try to install windows on the gt230, as soon as it installs the gpu drivers, on the next reboot i lose signal after loading screen i will attach vm xml and diag <domain type='kvm'> <name>Windows 10 230</name> <uuid>d5e71dd5-766d-9506-50aa-780a1305eefb</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate xmlns="unraid" name="Windows 10" icon="windows.png" os="windows10"/> </metadata> <memory unit='KiB'>2097152</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>2097152</currentMemory> <memoryBacking> <nosharepages/> <locked/> </memoryBacking> <vcpu placement='static'>2</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0'/> <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='1'/> </cputune> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.5'>hvm</type> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> </features> <cpu mode='host-passthrough'> <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/> </cpu> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='catchup'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/local/sbin/qemu</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/domains/Windows 10 230/vdisk1.img'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/user/isos/virtio-win-0.1.118-2.iso'/> <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x7'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'> <master startport='0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci2'> <master startport='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci3'> <master startport='4'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'/> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:11:d2:cb'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <channel type='unix'> <source mode='connect'/> <target type='virtio' name='org.qemu.guest_agent.0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes' xvga='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x05' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='no'> <source> <vendor id='0x3938'/> <product id='0x1031'/> </source> </hostdev> <memballoon model='virtio'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> </domain> thanks for help tower-diagnostics-20160905-1115.zip Quote Link to comment

Tarnyd Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I had a similar problem when I was trying to install Windows 10. Windows was installing fine over VNC, but as soon as I changed to my graphics card it booted up, but I only got a black screen. I tried to install the graphics drivers over VNC, and it looked fine, but never really installed properly. So my solution was to setup RDP, then edit my VM and connect my graphics card and reboot. Now it starts up with a black screen same as before. Next step is to login through RDP from a different computer, and from there install the proper graphics drivers and reboot. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment
francesco995 Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 thanks for the advice, i tried for the last week and i think i will wait for the next beta that should include the ability to pass the igpu to a vm (so i will also have ovmf boot instead of seabios) Quote Link to comment
