[GPU_passthrough] Lenovo M75q Gen 2 - AMD 5650GE iGPU - Host crashes

I have already installed Manjaro as a VM. Looks good so far! Let's see where we get from there. Thanks!

Well, @leesteken I'm not sure if we're quite done yet. As you can see the kernel driver amdgpu is not in use. I assume it has trouble loading or do I need to take care of that?

Is there anything relevant in journalctl (inside the VM) when you do modprobe amdgpu inside the VM?
Try setting the Display to none in the VM settings in Proxmox and see if you get output on the physical display.
 
Nothing. For some reason the Hardware seems not to be used. Do I need to passthrough something more? Some PCIE bus or so?

Does it make any difference if I plug HDMI to the host on bootup or not? Sometimes I read a dummy is needed, sometimes I read you should not connect HDMI at all...

You don't need to passthrough PCI(e) bridges or buses, that's taken care of by vfio-pci. Maybe find someone on the internet that succeeded with passthrough of the integrated graphics of a 5650GE or very similar and find out how they did it. Make sure you don't have any other virtual display by setting Display to none in the VM settings (but don't enable Primary GPU which is for NVidia GPUs).

Sometimes GPUs don't enable output if there is no display connected, so make sure you have a display connected before starting the VM.
 
I will look if I do find some more information about 5650GE et. al. I tried with primary GPU and without, both times it doesn't work. Well, we got so far, I hope I can find a way...

HDMI is connected right now so this can't be the problem.

There is an example here in the Wiki. Make sure to use the right PCI ID and that the device is not touched by anything before reading the ROM. That last part can be difficult and might require booting the system with another GPU.

Well, that's impossible since it's a Lenovo Tiny M75q system - I can't add another GPU. Is it possible to download those ROMs somewhere or possible do do work around that problem somehow?

Maybe take out the CPU and put it in another AM4 system with a GPU? Or seach the internet if someone already has done it? I'm sorry but I don't know how to fix this, or even if this will fix the passthrough.
 
After a long time I'm now coming back to the topic. I found some Cezanne-VBIOS on the internet in different sources. They all have the same size/checksums. Therfor I imagine they might either be all from the same source or the VBIOS for different Cezanne iGPUs is all the same.

I do now try to get this going with a clean install of PVE8.0 with kernel 6.2.16-6-pve.

  1. Are there any changes regarding the process of passing through a GPU?
  2. Could I still use the same methods for kernel parameters, blacklisting, vfio etc.?
  3. When I boot the system, I can still see on screen: "Booting Proxmox VE GNU/Linux, Loadling Linux 6.2, Loading initial ramdisk ..." Is this correct? I did the blacklisting and initcall_blacklist=sysfb_init once again.
 
Update
Everything works! I'll update this thread later! Right now I'm struggeling with proper game streaming from the VM as well as the reset bug: When I shutdown the VM, the host as well as the guest hangs.

ayo... please please for the love of all things holy, explain how you got this going. also why can't an internet have a single source of truth for extracting vbioses from motherboard bioses ffs

How is the 5650GE with Proxmox, without iGPU pass through?
I do not want to play games and I have another machine with quicksync which should suffice for Plex.

It sounds really concerning to see the actual proxmox host crash? I wish I saw this thread before ordering 2 of them.
