Guest has not initialized the display (systemd-boot) PCI passthrough

[jab19]

Hello,

I'm having some problems passing through my gpu. Well, when I run the commands to check everything, everything checks out.

Here are my outputs after configuring everything.

I followed this step by step guide when I was doing systemd-boot, I was doing a zfs mirroring for my proxmox install.
https://hackmd.io/@edingroot/SkGD3Q7Wv

I then decided to switch to grub because most of the guides are about pci passthrough with grub.
I followed this guide
https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/b5xpua/the_ultimate_beginners_guide_to_gpu_passthrough/

I didn't have any luck with any of the bootloaders.

I keep getting the message "Guest has not initialized the display yet."






This for ubuntu server

Thank you for your help.

I figure out the problem. My workstation is an HP z840. To fix the problem I installed a second graphics card on the first PCI16 slot and move the nvidia P400 to the second PCI 16 slot. After doing this I was able to passthrough my P400 to my VM. Since I have to cards and I have the the card on the first PCI16 slot as the first graphics card, I don't have to add this to proxmox.
echo "options vfio-pci ids=10de:1b81,10de:10f0 disable_vga=1"> /etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf

Everything else can be done the same way I did it.

This is my grub setup:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on iommu=pt vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1"

The command below needs to be added to the grub, but you can test and see if is going to work for you without it.

echo "options vfio_iommu_type1 allow_unsafe_interrupts=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/iommu_unsafe_interrupts.conf
