Hello all,

strange problem this morning after upgrading form 6.5.13-5 to 6.8.4-3.

Impossible to have intel HD passthrough in lxc containers. After seeking i found that there's no more /dev/dri and especially no /dev/dri/renderD128 i usually map in the LXCs.

reverting back to 6.5.13-5 and everything works fine and /dev/dri appears and intel_gpu_top works

On 6.5.13-5 :

Bash: 
root@pve:/dev#  lspci -nnk

        Kernel modules: i915

and

Code: 
root@pve:/dev# ls /dev/dri
by-path  card0  renderD128

On 6.8.4-3 i got :

Code:

Hi,

can you post the complete output of 'dmesg' ? maybe we can see there why the driver is not loaded
also you can try to manually load the driver with
Code: 
modprobe i915

modprobe gave results :

Code: 
root@pve:/dev/dri# ls
by-path  card0  renderD128

mhmm ok interesting, dmesg shows simply nothing in relation to the i915 driver, so it simply does not load it automatically anymore on your system...

you can force it to load by putting 'i915' in the file '/etc/modules' then it should load it on boot
 
that was i was looking,
/etc modules was modifed according to https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#qm_pci_passthrough

Code: 
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
# Parameters can be specified after the module name.
vfio
vfio_iommu_type1
vfio_pci

and /etc/default/grub with :

Code: 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"

but it was working since ages until i uprgraded to 6.8.4-3. And it also works when i revert back to 6.5.13-5.
 
yeah it seems with some kernel change the i915 driver does not autoload anymore for some
 
yes exactly

EDIT: sorry i misread it should be /etc/modules not /etc/modprobe

Hello, I am reusing this thread as I have a similar problem as OP, and I am unable to solve it.

I am on 6.8.12-1-pve, but /dev/dri/renderD128 simply is not there. I suspect something fishy is going on as I have renderD129 and I do have a second GPU on the system, so I believe the device is created and then somehow removed.

Code: 
$ lspci -nnk

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-S GT1 [UHD Graphics 770] [8086:a780] (rev 04)

        Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Raptor Lake-S GT1 [UHD Graphics 770] [1043:8694]
        Kernel driver in use: i915
        Kernel modules: i915, xe

The complete output of dmesg can be found here: https://0x0.st/XvRa.txt

At [ 5.151777] it seems that the kernel loads i915 but then it blows up. Can anyone help debugging this?

I tried to downgrade the kernel a few weeks ago but that did not seem to solve the issue for me.

Same here, I dont have /dev/dri at all.

Code: 
$ lspci -nnk

I can add gpu to virtual machines but not to lxc.
 
I just realized this afternoon I also no longer have any renderD128 or renderD129. I installed intel-media-va-driver and i965-va-driver this evening in an attempt to get them back.

I tried downgrading the kernel from 6.8.12-2-pve to 6.8.8-4-pve with no luck. I also tried 6.5.13-5-pve kernel like OP, still nothing. I'm not sure what else to try.
