The amd driver is giving a code 43 within the windows VM.

Double checked isolation and got the following:
lspci -k output:

63:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 10 [Radeon Pro W5700]
Subsystem: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 10 [Radeon Pro W5700]
Kernel driver in use: vfio-pci
Kernel modules: amdgpu
63:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 10 HDMI Audio
Subsystem: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 10 HDMI Audio
Kernel driver in use: vfio-pci
Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel

I am not sure what to change in order to force the driver to work… I assume that the issue is either within the VM, or there is some sort of quirk with my setup…?

LG can’t find a working GPU driver to connect to. This is usually because of a failed GPU driver which seems to be the issue on your next post.

Please note that LG requisite requires a fully operational VM with a functioning GPU passthrough. This forum is limited to assisting users with LG specific issues. You might want to seek assistance in the VFIO forum or VFIO Discord server.

Thank you for the info!
