Dear all,

 

struggling on starting VMs with M2 passthroughs. New Mainboard/ CPU...

 

Tried with vfio-pci.ids= the IDs from IOMMU groups as well as with manual and /dev/disk/by-id/...

 

same results, over and over.

 

also tried various combinations of bios/ machine setups, following spaceinvader's videos (<3)

 

system

M/B: ASRock B450 Pro4 Version - s/n: M80-B7015500143

BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. Version P3.60. Dated: 07/31/2019

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core @ 3700 MHz

HVM: Enabled

IOMMU: Enabled

Unraid Version: 6.8.3 

 

Graphics-card excluded for testing but same issues if set instead of VNC

AMD Radeon XFX RX 5700 XT III with custom bios XFX.RX5700XT.8192.190906_1.rom

 

attached the iommu groups, vm xml as well as current diagnostics.

 

Thankful for any assistance/ hints provided.

Cheers,

Matt

Step 1:

Change this:

  <os>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-4.2'>hvm</type>
    <boot dev='hd'/>
  </os>

...to this:

  <os>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-4.2'>hvm</type>
  </os>

 

Step 2:

Change this:

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <driver name='vfio'/>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
      </source>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x06' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </hostdev>
    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <driver name='vfio'/>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x0a' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
      </source>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x07' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </hostdev>

...to this:

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <driver name='vfio'/>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
      </source>
      <boot order='1'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x06' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </hostdev>
    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <driver name='vfio'/>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x0a' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
      </source>
      <boot order='2'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x07' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
    </hostdev>

 

PS: not sure which of the 2 NVMe are boot drives but it should jump automatically to the next one if the first one isn't bootable.

 

 

 

edit:

 

after neither helped,

i started from scratch. attached the drives using /dev/disk/by-id/ method

also set them there to be SATA mode

checked boot mode

 

and again, nothing...

error on screen is the same

 

logs and xml reattached.

 

am I to blind to see something or did it get even more complicated since 2018...

tried alternative method

Solution was in my stupidiy. I installed W10 with UEFI and that's incompatible with SeaBIOS.
