Hi,
I tried to run pass-through GPU on my proxmox.
That is my secound time configuration, last week I reinstalled proxmox because I had the same error - I thought that I made same mistakes configuration.
Following this thread:
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/help-with-pass-through-pcie-for-j5005-igpu.111401/
I install old kernel 5.11.22-7-pve that should works.

On this part I had error:
Code: 
root@prox:~# update-initramfs -u -k all

Issue is reported because I installed proxmox on mmcblk0?

My proxmox configuration of thin client is Dell wyse 5070 with Intel® Celeron J4105 .

I don't see any errors. It just tells you that the host bootloader is not using ESP-partitions and/or is not managed by proxmox-boot-tool. Maybe you need to run an additional command to update the bootloader?
 
Hmm so how to update bootloader in other command.

Issue is reported because I installed proxmox on mmcblk0?

Maybe, I don't know. Maybe the bootloader section of the Proxmox manual can help you configure Proxmox to update the right boot partition?
 
I have the same issue after last update of Proxmox, the previous working passthrough is broken and I can't run "update-initramfs -u -k all" without getting the Skipping ESP issue. Funny is it says it does skip it, but in fact it tries again several times and then stops the command.

Any ideas please?
 
Finally, I did a new install of Proxmox 8 and got the server to show the desired results on passthrough. Nevertheless, on VM's (Windows 11) it doesn't work but crashes the Proxmox node.

No /etc/kernel/proxmox-boot-uuids found, skipping ESP sync is has been still showed but only once and the command got finished.

Code:

Not sure what the missing firmware messages are either - I thought the idea was to not load any firmware until the guest uses the card?

Looks like no one can help us with this issue? Is this a problem with Proxmox v8, did older versions have the issue?

Hmmm... we must be missing something? Also I find that instructions for GPU passthrough vary depending on the source. I've been looking here at the local documentation (/pve-docs/chapter-qm.html#qm_pci_passthrough)

Maybe we should just move on to the next step ignoring those 'errors'?

I only came onboard with V 8.0, so not sure how it was before...

I'm going to check out some youtube tutorials see where that gets me....
 
So, I don't know about you guys, but I have had some success. I watched a couple of videos - one pointed out that at this stage we should be able to pass anything through we want, without doing anything else. In practise its usually more complicated than that but I thought I' try passing the GPU to a Windows VM - and it worked! - kinda... Although I got a driver loaded, the VM crashed quite quickly. I think this ia because to 2 PCIE bridges that are on the card hadn't been passed through. I used these resources to get where I am now:

local documentation - PCI(e) Passthrough (/pve-docs/chapter-qm.html#qm_pci_passthrough) and...

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI_Passthrough#Introduction and recommended by the video I watched...

https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/b5xpua/the_ultimate_beginners_guide_to_gpu_passthrough/

I think we just need to move on from this ste and make sure we do all the other things suggested in those docs..

Hope this helps someone!

Guys this might help you. It worked for me.

:~# nano /etc/default/grub

intel_iommu=on and iommu=pt – in the end of the line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on and iommu=pt"

: ~# update-grub

To check if IOMMU is enabled:

:~# dmesg | grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU

To find you graphic card use the following line:

:~# lspci | grep VGA

You should get:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation CoffeeLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630]

To black list the driver from host use:
:~# echo "options vfio-pci ids=8086:3e92 disable_vga=1"> /etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf

Then to update modules:

:~# update-initramfs -u -k all

If it won’t work because there is no link to ESP partition then:

:~# proxmox-boot-tool status

To check which partition is /boot with vfat format:

:~# lsblk -o +FSTYPE

To initialize ESP sync first unmount boot partition:

:~# umount /boot/efi

Then link the vfat partiton with proxmox-boot-tool:

:~# proxmox-boot-tool init /dev/XXXXXXXX where XXXXXXXX is the name of vfat partiton from lsblk +FSYSTEM

Then:

:~# mount -a

Then to update modules:

:~# update-initramfs -u -k all



Reboot

Thanks! Your tips how to re-init the boot partition helped me to fix the ESP partition relented issues on a fresh proxmox 8.1 install

Actually, this made my proxmox install non-bootable. I had a grub command line available, but I didn't know exactly what to do. Now trying install with ZFS.
