hi,

=== question ===
with the setup described below, i can't pass the graphics adapter into a
KVM guest as described below.

is the BAR stuff in the listing an error i wuld have to fix in order to
get my eGPU running? if so, what could i do about it? i've seen that the
laptop will hang on boot if the eGPU is powered on system startup. i can
see the adapter after hotplugging it using lspci and i never see an
image on the external display.

thanks in advance,
joachim schiele



my config is this:
sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm \
-m 8192 \
-M q35 \
-cpu host,kvm=off \
-smp 4,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1 \
-vga none \
-vnc none \
-device
ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1 \
-device
vfio-pci,host=04:00.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on \
-device vfio-pci,host=04:00.1,bus=root.1,addr=00.1 \
-drive

=== when hotplugging the eGPU ===
i want to use a Nvidia GTX 660 TI as an eGPU using PE4H and when i
hotplug the ePCI adapter i get this log on a 3.18 ubuntu kernel:
