    [TUTORIAL] Compile Proxmox VE with patched intel-iommu driver to remove RMRR check

    This tutorial is only for the G6 and G7 variant (possibly the G5 too), the G8 and later has other options to deal with RMRR like the one you listed. :) Where did I list xenial? I did not see any mention of it.

    [TUTORIAL] Compile Proxmox VE with patched intel-iommu driver to remove RMRR check

    No it is not, just follow the tutorial for RMRR check removal and whatever tutorial you are using for passthrough. :)

    [TUTORIAL] Compile Proxmox VE with patched intel-iommu driver to remove RMRR check

    That's strange, hasn't happened to me and I run the same platform. Does the passthrough work after compiling and reseating the GPU and riser board? Perhaps you need to install the GPU drivers since the compile process fails there, not sure if I installed those before writing this tutorial..

    [TUTORIAL] Compile Proxmox VE with patched intel-iommu driver to remove RMRR check

    The folder contents are fine but I think there is some stuff in the find-firmware.pl script to look for certain directory names. Can you try this: nano /mnt/hdd/pve-kernel/debian/scripts/find-firmware.pl Comment out the fourth line from above with a # so that it looks as such: #die "strange...

    [SOLVED] pve-kernel git outdated

    Hi there, I'm trying to compile proxmox from git to include my own patch. However, both the pve-kernel and pve-kernel-meta gits point to a outdated release (5.1) with a 4.13 (artful) kernel instead of 4.15 (bionic): root@pve:/usr/src# git clone git://git.proxmox.com/git/pve-kernel.git Cloning...

    [TUTORIAL] Compile Proxmox VE with patched intel-iommu driver to remove RMRR check

    It seems something has changed with Bionic. I'll need to figure out what has changed and rewrite the tutorial. I also just found out my VM with passthrough won't boot anymore and the makefile gives me random errors whatever I try. Grr. Will report back when I find a fix. -edit Ok @Tirigon ...

    [TUTORIAL] Compile Proxmox VE with patched intel-iommu driver to remove RMRR check

    The step for step tutorial is in the first post, not sure if it applies to you with a gen8 server but you can try.

    Wrong CPU cache stats in all VM's

    Aha, thanks a lot! That means I should be able to patch it to something else. It's not a production system anyway so I'll look into changing these values. Edit: Well, many interdependent variables exist in cpu.c which makes predicting behaviour of those settings problematic at least. Probably...

    Wrong CPU cache stats in all VM's

    Hi there, I've recently been dealing with some strange performance issues in cache-heavy applications. My host doesn't get properly loaded (50 ~ 70% max cpu) unless I perform CPU-only heavy tasks. When looking around I found out that all my VM's report oversized L2 and L3 caches, which is a...

    [TUTORIAL] Compile Proxmox VE with patched intel-iommu driver to remove RMRR check

    Hi ang3l12, didn't see your post. Thanks for the information, I'll upgrade my system somewhere this week and adjust the tutorial to the new kernel and makefile. Edit: Updated to 5.1 (Artful kernel) and the patches directory works fine indeed. Saved me some time messing around in the makefile...

    [TUTORIAL] Compile Proxmox VE with patched intel-iommu driver to remove RMRR check

    Well it worked, and with a small change the remove_rmrr_check.patch worked as well. I'll post a tutorial here soon. :)

    [TUTORIAL] Compile Proxmox VE with patched intel-iommu driver to remove RMRR check

    Thanks a bunch, when fixed I can finally test if my patch works. :) It should help a lot of people with old HP hardware who want PCI-e passthrough and have to move to Xen or VMware instead of Proxmox (or any linux based system) if they want passthrough because of those linux kernel...

    [TUTORIAL] Compile Proxmox VE with patched intel-iommu driver to remove RMRR check

    Tutorial (deprecated): This tutorial is deprecated. I've upgraded to a gen9 Proliant that does not have the RMRR issue and kernel changes have made this solution less than desirable. Please use this script from now on: https://github.com/kiler129/relax-intel-rmrr This tutorial will stay online...
