Hi !

I'm really new to Proxmox and virtualization. After successfully install MacOS on proxmox at my home, i want to try install macos Catalina with Opencore on an old pc. Installation is a success but when i try to passthrough my GPU i've got a blank screen..
I try with Vmware compatible display and when there's the Apple logo loading screen, it stuck and i've got an error and the VM restart..
But when I can log on ( using VMware compatible display) in Graphics/Display tabs ( in system settings) I can see my HD 7850.
I've an Windows VM with GPU passthrough ( same gpu ) working but in this case I don't know why it doesn't work.. Maybe I need to dump my Vbios?


Before using Proxmox i've got a macos VM with Clover running with GPU passthrough on Lubuntu ( same GPU here too )

I don't know if my post is really clear, but i hope you understand.

Thank you for reading me and for your future answers !
