Hey all, I've setup a Proxmox host with MacOS and Windows 10 as guests. This is my first time setting something like this up and I've been blown away by how easy it was and the level of performance you can get.
The problem I'm running into is the guests won't reliably boot. Sometimes they simply show 12 or 25% cpu usage and nothing happens. This happens less if I wait at least 60s from either shutdown or startup of any guest before booting a guest, it also seems less likely to happen if I boot the Windows guest first followed by the Mac one. Both hosts have pcie passthrough (each has its own gnu, nvme, and usb controller). When running without passthrough boot is 100% reliable. Dmesg and kern.log have no errors, output is identical regardless of a successful boot or not.
I'm new to all this so I have no idea where to start looking, is there any particular log files or possible configuration errors that would be a starting point? Or is this just life with Gpu passthrough?
