Hi, its not a big issue, just wondering why one of my VM´s always needs 2 Starts.

 

from the log, bold underline 2018-01-21 07:37.... that shutdown is always happening when i start the VM the 1 st time, i have no idea cause it looks like a clean shutdown

as seen here, the 2nd boot 2018-01-21 07:38... the mashine stays up ... 

only difference i see is the domain id counting up ... but that shouldnt be the issue i guess.

 

may a way to automatically make a double start ? not a real solution, but ...

 

as i said, if somebody has an idea, thanks ahead, its not a big deal when u know to startup 2 times

what guide did you follow to create it?

well, no big things.

 

1 passed through a nvidia 1070 with rom load and a usb card, thats it.

 

rest is pretty straight forward.

 

i think i remember i had this before some time ago ... but im not completely sure.

you answered a question I did not ask.

 

if this is windows or OS X, then not following a guide can lead to stability issues.

it is win10 1709.

 

i usualy always setup like described in unraid wiki.

 

i followed then the guide for extracting the gpu rom and loaded it.

then i followed the sticky PC passthrough guide for the extra USB card.

 

So, when its started its all good, just the boot "before" the OS it quits, when i check the screen i see the Tiano RAM Test, and black screen ,,,

no errors or so, next start i see the Tiano Ram Test, then the circle from win10 boot, all fine.

 

My 2nd win10 VM is also running a Nvidia GT1030 (work only), pretty much same setup (here i have passed through the onboard USB controller), just as note.

My 3rd win10 VM is only a VNC guest, also booting as expected, no paased through devices as its an working mashine only (ciscoVPN for work).

as a test to help determine where the fault is, what happens when you boot without the usb and GPU and use vnc only?

pretty funny, i did disabled and yes, regular start went fine,then added nvidia, also good, then added USB, also good now

 

thanks for the point, just works now without any changes
