[Guide] Ryzen 5800H IGPU Passthrough HDMI Windows11 HTPC

[jun3280]

Hello there,

I'm completely new to the world of Proxmox. While the experience has been exciting , it has been alot of trial by fire.

I was able to follow youtube guides and install Proxmox easily on a Beelink SER 5 - Ryzen 7 5800H. I successfully installed and migrated Home Assistant. I was able to install Windows 11 and access it via RDP.

I was hoping to connect the mini pc to a monitor and have it display and run Windows 11 - with Proxmox operating in the background. Am I correct in thinking if I have the IGPU blacklisted from running in Proxmox, and passing it through it to the Windows 11 virtual machine, then I could achieve this?

I figured I would give this a shot to see what the end result would be. I can't seem to find a concrete step by step guide for the 5800H, so my hope is by posting here, I can consolidate the findings here by updating the original post with with the outputs. This could serve as a useful reference for new users like myself.

I followed the guide here : https://github.com/isc30/ryzen-7000-series-proxmox
and referenced :

ONCE PROXMOX VE HAS BEEN INSTALLED

I executed the commands highlighted below (but I'm not sure what they do) :

Update Proxmox VE
-Install PUTTY and SSH into your Proxmox machine's IP (eg 192.168.86.200)


7.

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/misc/post-pve-install.sh)"

select "yes" and "Ok" to everything


changes committed to Proxmox


8.

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/misc/microcode.sh)"

I selected (the newest file) : amd64-microcode_3.20240820.1~deb12u1_amd64.deb

Beelink SER 5 HDMI Output To Monitor With Proxmox Running In Background
The end goal is to have a dedicated Windows HTPC (Chrome, KODI, Netflix, Disney, etc) hooked up to a TV, with Proxmox running in the background to manage various VMs like Home Assistant, Adguard, etc.




Passthrough USB (Keyboard & Mouse) to Windows VM
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/USB_Devices_in_Virtual_Machines

1. SSH to Proxmox using Putty
type lsusb to see what USB ports are being used

lsusb

Assign Lenovo Optical Mouse to the VM (103)

qm set 103 -usb0 host=17ef:608d

Assign Telink 2.4G Receiver Keyboard to the VM (103)

qm set 103 -usb1 host=320f:50c3

Congrats! You now have a fully functional Windows 11 HTPC connected to a TV/Monitor via HDMI that you can operate with mouse and keyboard. Proxmox operates in the background with other VMs initialized (eg Home Assistant).

For Windows 11 UEFI and TPM is required as far as i know. Is TPM enabled in your BIOS?
You cannot passthrough the onboard video to your Windows VM, you need an extra GPU.
The monitor attached to the host will always display the primary OS (PVE).

Wrong, Proxmox VE virtualize UEFI and TPM.

You cannot passthrough the onboard video to your Windows VM, you need an extra GPU.

There is sucess with igpu pass here :
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/a...h-works-w10-but-blank-screen-on-linux.151169/

 

[jun3280]

@aschrijver and @_gabriel thank you both for your contributions. I will update my prior posts with the correct changes once there is certainty regarding next steps.

@_gabriel, I'll probably reach out to the OP who created the thread you referenced. It looks like he was successful with the setup using Windows 10. Perhaps that might be the difference between Windows 11 and Windows 10 regarding UEFI vs Seabios.

That said :

Does NOT Install Windows 11


Windows 11 Installs
-SeaBIOS changed to UEFI

​

 

[jun3280]

One configuration issue has come up. The Windows 11 VM is setup with Display = None. This allows the HDMI to passthrough to the Windows 11 VM, when the IGPU PCI device is set to Primary GPU. Performance is great.

However if you step away from the machine for 10 minutes, the Proxmox will suspend the Windows 11 VM. Conversely, if you RDP into the Windows 11 VM, Proxmox will NOT suspend it.

I've set all the Windows 11 Power Management settings to Performance Mode. Display, Sleep, and Hard Disk are set to NEVER turn off. Any ideas on how to address this issue?

Thanks in advance.

 

[_gabriel]

disable hibernation with admin cmd powercfg -h off, which disable Fast Startup too.

 

[jun3280]

disable hibernation with admin cmd powercfg -h off, which disable Fast Startup too.

Thanks @_gabriel. I will give that a try and report back.

Update : Thanks @_gabriel, the command prevents Proxmox from suspending the Windows 11 VM now. I set the screen to shut off after 10 minutes, and it now locks/turns on screensaver when the Windows session is inactive.

 

[daemmon]

Thank you for this. I have followed your guide successfully, unfortunately in the process I have broken my Plex LXC install. I'm now getting that

/dev/dri/card1

and

/dev/dri/renderD128

don't exist. Is there anyway to make it run again, or enable igpu passthrough to it as well?

 

[jun3280]

@daemmon, I'm sorry to hear of your issues. I'm new to Proxmox, but as I understand it, this configuration only allows the igpu passthrough to one VM. As this process assigns the igpu to Windows, have you tried going through the process in reverse?

-Delete the hostpci0 and hostpci1 from your Windows Hardware
-Set Display to Default

Hopefully that releases the igpu back to Proxmox for use by the other vms.

 

[daemmon]

As this process assigns the igpu to Windows, have you tried going through the process in reverse?

I have managed to reverse all changes and got control back to the containers. I will just skip all the igpu passthrough stuff for now. Thank you

Thank you very much @jun3280, you are a star!
I've spent days trying different things and I did everything even following this Guide
https://github.com/isc30/ryzen-7000-series-proxmox?tab=readme-ov-file
Which is almost identical to yours, but it still didn't work. I think my issue was with the AMDGopDriver_5800H.rom file.
I've used this one: https://github.com/isc30/ryzen-7000-series-proxmox/blob/main/AMDGopDriver_5800H.rom
Another thing I did, was install the AMD drivers while using the Windows RDP app instead of using the Console VNC (I am not sure if this makes a difference)
And it didn't work for me.

First of all, wonderful guide and thank you for all your work (and the work of all those referenced)...

I ran into a snag on the vbios dump script, which gives me a file or directory does not exist error (even though the script certainly does). I believe it is because the location /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/VFCT does not exist.

In the meantime, I've got error 43 with the resetbugfix running, the Rom referenced in the audio device, and I've been using a 5700U vbios for lack of the knowledge to get the one from my own system.

I am very novice with Proxmox, trying to get a 5500GT running directly to an attached monitor so I can use it to connect to other headless servers when I need to and not have my whole gaming rig running just to use a browser.

Edit: I was never able to extract the vbios with the script above as it assumes a file exists that I don't have...

However, I was able to get the igpu passthrough working and thanks again for the help!

The issue was that I did not have the correct vbios for the vga and audio, and could not use the vbios script. Instead, I followed the method in https://github.com/isc30/ryzen-7000-series-proxmox/discussions/18 that uses UEFI bios updater to extract the vbios from the mobo bios update file from Asus (prime b350 plus in my case):
