I'm attempting to setup a Linux kvm machine. I'm running into some strange issues. a little background. the host machine is a uefi h170 board, that being said, I know that the MSI Radeon R7 240 supports uefi since prior to playing with kvm I had to install the host OS using it.
If I use seabios, pci passthrough works fine. I actually do the full windows install via a passed through mouse, keyboard and the monitor on the radeon card.
However, if I build the same machine with virt-manager and passthrough the video, it does not work.
If I use uefi via virt-manager or cli, video passthrough does not work.
Here is my working string (although I end up with two nics somehow!?)
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -M q35 -m 3072 -cpu host \
-smp 2,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=1 \

Here is a test string that does not work

I've spent about 4 days working on this now and researching everywhere I can, and my kids are finally getting upset with the delays. any help is appreciated!
