I'm having issues with win10 though: every time I add the Sandy Bridge "HD Graphics" driver, it crashes. But maybe this machine does not have enough physical memory. A quick boot of an Ubuntu 20.04 ISO worked flawlessly :)

Update: I re-configured my kernel, recompiled it, and now I've got access to /dev/mem Here is my output, doing this in real time: root@immortality-d01b5b:~# setpci -s 0000:00:02.0 fc.l 78d0d018 Ok, that's the OpRegion i guess Now let's check it: root@immortality-d01b5b:~# dd bs=1...

I see, the kernel is configured, as most new kernels do, as cat /boot/config-lts | grep CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y That prevents access to /dev/mem .....seems I have to recompile it :(

I am trying your solution, but it seems I ran into another problem: root@immortality-d01b5b:~# setpci -s 0000:00:02.0 fc.l 78d0d018 "78d0d018" is in the ACPI region: cat /proc/iomem 00000000-00000fff : Reserved 00001000-0009ffff : System RAM 000a0000-000bffff : PCI Bus 0000:00...

I am experiencing this problem too: there's obviously some kind of quirk in HP firmware: ALL HP workstations/machines with Sandy Bridge have this problem, and I've tried three of those: Elite 8200 usff pc Z210 sff workstation hp 8100 All same error in VFIO "Failed to setup Intel IGD regions"...

After a BIG struggle with this issue, I've found that sometimes, for obscure reasons, the installer of the guest agent spews out an error like: Error: 8004E00F when trying to access COM+ Applications in Component Services I solved this obscure issue as per Microsoft reccomendation...
