[vfio-users] Nvidia Error 43 and vendor_id state='on'

[David]

An update on my progress.  I powered off the PC and reseated the video
card and re-hooked the power cables.  After another try with all the
settings below out of the XML, i was able to get it to boot ok.  No
idea if the error 43 will return, but my last 2 test boots have gone
OK.

I have tried putting each of the below settings back into the XML, one
at a time.  Any one of these lines will cause the VM to fail to boot,
and then reboot in windows repair mode.  Not sure what i can do about
that.  Again, i don't use “-cpu
host,kvm=off” anywhere.  I was never really clear on where to put that
setting at anyway.   Does anyone think i should be using it?

My next problem i want to tackle is my audio issues.  I am using the
HDMI audio from the Nvidia card.  It will sometimes cut out for a
split second for no reason, maybe once every 5 to 10 seconds.  Also
sometimes during games I will hear a quick "tearing" noise.

The setting i tried to put back into the XML file =
<relaxed state='on'/>
<vapic state='on'/>
<spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/>

<timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/>
