Hi,
I've got a multi-OS workstation running ESXi 5.5 for now, 6.x soon. On top I'm running an OSX VM and a Windows VM, with GPU passthrough. Everything works great. But when I try to run a Ubuntu VM (guest) on top of ESXi, with GPU passthrough, it fails using the GPU (a MSI Radeon R9 270X GAMING 2G).
I've tried Ubuntu 14.x LTS, and 16.x LTS. I've tried BIOS and EFI. Everything ends with the same non-functioning GPU.
I've also read this thread https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2235405 , but no luck. It's not clear to me whether I need to path my kernel, or not (and that's not something I'm comfortable with).
I've tried to put BIOS files from www.techpowerup.com into /lib/firmware/radeon, but it did not help.
dmesg shows those lines:
and
lspci -v shows this:
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
