I've retired my former daily laptop to server duties as an alternative to multiple SBCs/PIs.
It is an older Asus with a 7700HQ, Nvidia 1070 & 64GB of RAM. I am running proxmox 8.1.3 on it.
It is my second go at trying to have the GPU passed to a Windows 10 VM and I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. Being a laptop it has a rather limited set of BIOS options but everything seems fine.
This is my current setup:
grub
/etc/modules
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf
/etc/pve/qemu-server/211.conf
My old laptop does not have the option to toggle IOMMU in the BIOS but it does seem to be working:
In Proxmox the mapping seems alright.
No matter what I do I can't get past this stage, and the installer does not work.
I followed a gazillion guides none helped.
The only thing I think might be worth mentioning as well is that when following the official guide, at this sage:
I always fail with
From what I've read it seems quite a common error due to the GPU not ben actually inactive at the time, or something, and most guides do not go this route.
I don't even know why I want it, but it drives me crazy...please help
