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

[Blank Field]

Hahaha it all goes the same way.
Installing win8 won't help much.
OVMF and win7 can get along if the guest has QXL video attached. Then, when
you install the GPU driver, it should output video and the QXL device falls
offline.
But he has code 10, so what he will get in win8 will be similiar: a working
microsoft basic video adapter GPU or a code 10 GPU at boot or code 10 when
the driver is installed.
Oh, and an awesome outcome - since he has an AMD GPU and tries to use UEFI
GOP with it, most likely the GPU's ROM just lacks the efi driver.
...
So, check the ROM...
