Problem with amdgpu driver in in appVM (GPU passthrough)

I used this instruction for gpu passthrough: Create a Gaming HVM
Everything seems to work, but amgdpu does not start in the virtual machine.

I want to use this video card in appVM: 01:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Lexa [Radeon 540X/550X/630 / RX 640 / E9171 MCM] (rev c0)

I tried adding a boot option for appVM: pci=nomsi, but it didn’t help.
I also found this post unanswered: AMD passthrough driver not work in appVM

Has anyone had a similar problem?

Did you install the AMD firmware package for your hardware in the appVM?

The appVM needs to have both the driver and firmware installed.

Yes, I installed all possible packages. I also tried changing the template from Debian to Fedora.

No idea for you, but some years ago I had the same error message Ryzen 7000 serie , maybe it will give you some ideas. You could try to add the parameter " amdgpu.runpm=0 " but I don’t think it will solve your issue.
