Ah no, turns out I had disabled the gpu passthrough, when i re-enabledit i just got a kernel panic from 5.8.0-rc5

I tried mainline 5.8.0-rc5 and I couldn't even get into gnome shell
after the gdm3 password prompt, just a black screen!

I tried running virsh start which worked but my monitor never got a
signal. It also didn't crash the host or qemu though, although virsh
destroy finished instantly, so i assume the guest didn't even start.

regards.
