[vfio-users] Nvidia Code 43 on Fedora 24 host and Windows 10 guest.

[Dawid Osuchowski]

I've rebooted the machine, the lspci output was the same without
launching anything prior to it.

If by OVMF boot splash screen you mean the "TianoCore" screen before the
OS is starting, then yes i'm able to see it.

I've put the ROM file in the /usr/share/qemu directory and run
restorecon on it (and changed the path in virsh) as you've suggested and
booted up the VM, still doesn't work. I've changed slot from 0x02 to
0x08, had to reinstall the drivers, because system just freaked out and
it still doesn't work afterwards.

The AUX power cord is connected to the GPU. I've been using this card
before as a main GPU for this machine and then decided to give
passthrough a go.

Driver version is 372.90.

Sorry for the doubled e-mail Alex, forgot to CC to the mailing list.
