Hi everyone. i am having heaps of problems trying to boot my VM computer after installing a 1080Ti card in my pc. long story short, installed new GPU then the usb drive i was using would not boot,  replaced to s spare usb2 stick and all works good. when i assign the new GPU to the VM i keep getting a popup of "Execution error"

internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2017-09-25T03:34:02.095343Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=03:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6: vfio: error, group 1 is not viable, please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver.

i have put the GPU in the GO file that i found people talking about to somehow allow it to be passed to the VM.

This is the XML file for the VM

Thanks to advance for the help

Have you tried enabling the ACS override in the VM settings? 

Did you watch the second video of the two part daily driver video series from SpaceInvader One? It explains step by step the video passthrough process, including the acs override mentioned above. If the video card is your primary, you may need to include a ROM file. There is a separate video on passing through a primary Nvidia card.

 

I would go back and double check all the steps were done correctly for your motherboard and configuration.

Im 90% sure i was runing my my first GPU(980Ti) in passthrough mode fine without ACS on. I was thinking this morning it could be that the linux kernal might not have the driver for the 1080Ti and that is the problem, so i have pluged my 980Ti back in and stll having the same problem. I will try a difforent pci lane as im starting to think the second slot (16x) might be dead now.

 

If i have the 980Ti in the top pci 16x it seems ti work and the 1080Ti in the second pci 16x slot then it plays up. Unraid is running on the onboard video output so i dont think thats the problem. When i get home ill try ACS agen and see if that works. Hope it is not a dead pci slot

well i was able to fix the problem, looks like the ACS was turned off on the system. big thanks to all that helped
