[vfio-users] Installing Catalyst prevents VM from booting.

[Matthew Kramara]

Hi, I've never used a mailing list before so I'm sorry if I messed up the
formatting or come off as rude or incompetent or anything like that..

I've spent a few days going back and forth and retrying steps from various
guides so I cant give a comprehensive description of my setup and
everything I've done up to this point, but I'm running a 64bit Windows 7 VM
using libvert, qemu, vfio-pci, and OMVF as per
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF.
I've got the VM booting with the PCI device showing as a 'display adaptor'
with a code 10 in the device manager, and when I try to install catalyst it
currently reports the device as a hd7870 and the error code simply tells me
to reboot before I can use the device. However on reboot windows 7 fails to
restart until I do a system restore, even if I remove the PCI device from
the VM using virt-manager.

I'd love some help or just directions to any previous cases that look the
same.
Thanks, Matt
