I’m running Debian 12 bookworm. I install proxmox with the following GitHub repo:
https://github.com/mathewalves/Proxmox-Debian12
Can someone tell me why no matter what guide I follow for GPU passthrough my system gets bricked? I follow guides character for character and when I reboot my system my drive is fucked. I get “debian 12 /dev/sdb recovering journal” I’ve had to reinstall Debian 12/proxmox six times already. Can someone please steer me in the right direction?
I have an Nvidia GT 1030 2GB that I'm trying to passthrough to use for a plex server or jellyfin server. These are the steps I've been following:
Step 1: Edit GRUB
Execute: nano /etc/default/grub Change this line from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on iommu=pt pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction nofb nomodeset video=vesafb
ff,efifbff" Save file and exit the text editor
Step 2: Update GRUB
Execute the command: update-grub
Step 3: Edit the module files
Execute: nano /etc/modules Add these lines: vfio vfio_iommu_type1 vfio_pci vfio_virqfd Save file and exit the text editor
Step 4: IOMMU remapping
a) Execute: nano /etc/modprobe.d/iommu_unsafe_interrupts.conf Add this line: options vfio_iommu_type1 allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 Save file and exit the text editor
b) Execute: nano /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf Add this line: options kvm ignore_msrs=1 Save file and exit the text editor
Step 5: Blacklist the GPU drivers
Execute: nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf Add these lines: blacklist radeon blacklist nouveau blacklist nvidia blacklist nvidiafb Save file and exit the text editor
Step 6: Adding GPU to VFIO
a) Execute: lspci -v Look for your GPU and take note of the first set of numbers b) Execute: lspci -n -s (PCI card address) This command gives you the GPU vendors number. c) Execute: nano /etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf Add this line with your GPU number and Audio number: options vfio-pci ids=(GPU number,Audio number) disable_vga=1 Save file and exit the text editor
Step 7: Command to update everything and Restart
a) Execute: update-initramfs -u b) Then restart the your Proxmox Node
When I execute 'update-initramfs -u' I get a bunch of missing nvidia firmware output afterwards and when I reboot, my Debian/Proxmox is bricked.
