I ran an R9 280 with only the reboot issue. I believe the most important settings for me were using the i440fx chipset and the uefi bios. <div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, Apr 17, 2016, 4:21 PM Eric Griffith <<a href="mailto:egriffith92@gmail.com">egriffith92@gmail.com</a>> wrote: </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Jonas, I've got an R9 290X and after fighting for a few weeks with Win7/8.1/10 BSODs during driver-install, I eventually just said "screw it" and stopped trying.

Both seem to produce the same result. Q35 seems to reboot/crash earlier than i440FX, i.e. already during driver extraction before the installation begins. As a matter of fact the Q35 install is not stable at all, it reboots/crashes after roughly 1min no matter what I do (idle on desktop, at login screen, installing driver, etc.).

First I configured my host to make vfio-pci claim the radeon card as described here (/etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf with IDs to be claimed): <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF#vfio-pci" target="_blank">https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF#vfio-pci</a> Then I install Windows 10 using virt-manager and its provided display (SPICE/VNC). Once the system is configured with an VNC server (or Synergy for sharing mouse/keyboard) I shutdown, remove all SPICE/VNC adapters, add my Radeon gpu and boot the guest again. This time the graphics output appears on the monitor connected to the Radeon GPU, and I would expect that I could just install the Radeon driver at this point, but apparently not. I haven't tried installing Windows with the Radeon GPU passed through during installation, I will try that next.

I have a R9290-DC2OC-4GD5 passed through to a Windows 10 guest (build 10586.104, newest ISO from Microsoft.com), and at first glance everything seems fine. I get output on my R9 290 GPU when I start my guest, Windows 10 boots, I am able to login etc., but I am stuck with some built-in Microsoft display driver because the Win10 guest reboots/BSODs when I try to install the AMD drivers. Device manager on the guest shows a "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)" and its VEN_ID and DEV_ID indicates that it is the AMD R9 GPU. Regardless of whether I go through AMD's driver installer, or if I right-click this device and update driver the guest reboots during the installation. I have tried different AMD driver verisons, but you can only go so far back before it complains that the driver does not support this version of Windows (i.e. version <14 does not support Win10). Any suggestions as to what I might try to resolve this, or anyone with similar problems?
