[vfio-users] Radeon R9 290 passthrough to Win10 guest - bsod/reboot on driver install

Sun Apr 17 21:21:36 UTC 2016

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. It's one reason why I'm thinking of going Nvidia for
this upcoming generation
