Blue screen when installing USB mouse drivers

eribob · October 1, 2020

I have a windows 10 VM with a logitech mouse attached to it via usb pass-through. It works fine, but when I try to install the drivers the VM hangs with a blue screen. The same problem occured earlier when I tried to install drivers for wifi/bluetooth that is passed through from the motherboard.

Attached diagnostics

Here is my VM XML

Does anyone have any suggestions? As I wrote I am able to pass through USB and the WIFI from the motherboard and they work, but as soon as I try to install any drivers (mouse drivers for a mouse connected to the USB or wifi/bluetooth drivers) I get a BSOD.

To the best of my knowledge.

If you want to install drivers for the mouse then you need to isolate and pass through a USB controller which you can then connect a mouse to and install device drivers. Same for the WIFI though that is likely to be difficult to isolate depending on your IOMMU groups.

Unless the devices are isolated, linux drivers are in use so while the VM will translate the function, you cannot install a second layer of device drivers inside the VM.

Thank you. Both the usb and wifi controllers are isolated and passed through to the VM. The mouse is connected to the passed through usb ports.

Have a look here, poster seems to have the same board working, it may help with the USB.

Integrated USB can be a challenge to pass through fully, often people fall back to an add in card.

Edit

Also seems to be an AMD bug with passthrough

Thanks! I have seen the taichi guide and followed it. My bios is updated (a couple of months ago when I bought it) and I did the settings and xml he recommended.

the other thread about the 5.8 kernel was very interesting though! I have also tried passing through onboard audio before and it resulted in the server hanging completely as well.

I would like to try to upgrade but I saw that some people have troubles passing through hard drives via id (/dev/disk/by-id/XX) after upgrading so I would like to wait since I use that for my VM. Also I have a LSI 9211-8i SAS controller and some SAS-controllers stop working with beta 29 (not sure about mine though).

If you take a backup of your flash drive, you can always restore using the USB creation tool and the backup so changes can be undone easily.

@eribobdid you ever solve this? i am currently facing the same issue, also with a logitech mouse. windows also keeps trying to automatically install a driver for it that makes it bsod.

edit:

turns out it was MSI afterburner causing the issue in my case. after uninstalling it and then re-attempting to install the mouse drivers there was no issue.
