Hi,
I am trying to dump a vbios from a RX 7800XT but with not luck at all.

Its suspending the PC, but after power on its just hanging either at "Waiting for a few Seconds" or at "Start Tem VM"

Her is the Log of my Last try.

Script location: /tmp/user.scripts/tmpScripts/vBios/script
Note that closing this window will abort the execution of this script
You have selected this device to dump the vbios from
0e:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 32 [Radeon RX 7700 XT / 7800 XT] (rev c8)

This does look like a valid GPU to me. Continuing .........

Checking if location to put vbios file exists
Vbios folder already exists

I will try and dump the vbios without disconnecting and reconnecting the GPU
This normally only works if the GPU is NOT the Primary or the only GPU
I will check the vbios at the end. If it seems wrong I will then retry after disconnecting the GPU

Defining temp vm with gpu attached
Domain 'dumpvbios' defined from /tmp/dumpvbios.xml

Starting the temp vm to allow dump
Domain 'dumpvbios' started

Waiting for a few seconds .....

Stopping the temp vm
Domain 'dumpvbios' destroyed

Removing the temp vm
Domain 'dumpvbios' has been undefined

Okay dumping vbios file named vbios.rom to the location /mnt/user/isos/vbios/
/mnt/user/isos/vbios/vbios.rom is less than 70kb
This seems too small. Probably the GPU is Primary and needs disconnecting and reconnecting to get proper vbios

Running again
Disconnecting the graphics card
tee: '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:0e:00.0/remove': No such file or directory
1
Entered suspended (sleep) state ......

PRESS POWER BUTTON ON SERVER TO CONTINUE

Rescanning pci bus
1
Graphics card has now sucessfully been disconnected and reconnected
It is now ready to begin the dump vbios process
