[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1680679] Re: qemu cannot run twice

[Roger Lawhorn]

NOTE: I only get gpu passthrough to work when using seabios. UEFI will
not work with modern nvidia drivers. You get the 'code 43' error because
whatever standards nvidia expects when talking to uefi are not met by
the OVMF firmware used by qemu. This issue happens to windows users
also. They had to update their uefi firmware to get around the code 43
issue.

Title:
  qemu cannot run twice

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  After using qemu with gpu passthrough and then shutting down windows 7 
properly I cannot boot windows 7 a second time.
  Only a full reboot of linux fixes this issue.
  Qemu appears to corrupt something in linux when exiting.
  I get no error messages but windows 7 never finishes booting during the 2nd 
try.
  Apparently I do try to run vfiobind each time the script is run.
  Wondering if rerunning vfiobind can cause an issue?
