Black Screen then kicked back out to the home screen

[ghost]

Hi, I followed your tutorial for the passthrough however as the title says as soon as I start it up it hangs on a black screen for a few seconds then kicks me back out...

This is where the error seems to be in the log however, I have no idea how to fix it.

I did look at the other issue but moving the bios did not fix the issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Could you also post the logs from /var/log/libvirt/custom_hooks.log.

The following steps have helped me to fix the issue:

1. Move your vgabios to /usr/username/bios.rom (or whatever your bios is named)
2. ssh into your computer and run the hook scripts at /bin/vfio-startup.sh and /bin/vfio-teardown.sh. If you get any errors search for these error specificly
3. Verify that you have removed all spice components
4. Remove your mainboards usb and audio controller from the virtual machine
5. start the vm though ssh by running
   sudo virsh start win10 (or whatever the name of your vm is)
6. If you get a network errer that is something like 'network default is not active' run
   sudo virsh net-list --all
   if it tells you that the network is inactive, activate it using this command
   sudo virsh net-start default
   if the network default does not exist i reccomend you to reinstall libvirt or search for a solution on google.

These steps helped me getting it to work, let me know if it works for you :)
