Proxmox reboots after "Purging GPU memory"

[Demian98]

Hi,

My Proxmox server is sometimes rebooting in the night. The message "pve kernel: Purging GPU memory, 0 pages freed, 0 pages still pinned, 1 pages left available." is then thousands of times in the log within a timespan of ~5 minutes.

Can someone help me to fix this?

Thank you a lot

Which GPU(s)? I have encountered at least one issue with Proxmox kernel 6.8 and its amdgpu driver on RX570.

 

[mauzeris]

its integrated VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation CoffeeLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630] (rev 02)

but.. after some digging I found that SSD which is Proxmox installation have ECC_Uncorr_Error_Count 2. I will change SSD today and look if it helps..

 

[Demian98]

For me it is "i915-GVTg_V5_4" from an Intel i5-7440HQ

 

[mauzeris]

Hello, I have replaced SSD but it didnt helped, still thousants of same lines and reboots...

 

[bymiy]

Hello, I had the same problem with the last kernel update. If you revert to one of the older kernel versions, your problem will be solved. They will probably fix the problem with subsequent kernel updates.

You can get help here.

1 - uname -r
2 - proxmox-boot-tool kernel list
3 - proxmox-boot-tool kernel pin X.XX.XX-X-pve (old version)
4 - init 6

 

[Demian98]

@bymiy Thank you for these tips. Which kernel version is working for you?

The following versions are available to me:

 

[bymiy]

It works very healthily.

 

[wavesswe]

This happened to me as well last night.

Have you found a solution to this?

I have not pinned the Kernel and i saw that it was a new update again available so just updated,

the server ran for aprox 10 days before this happened.

 

[mauzeris]

I have pinned this: 6.5.13-6-pve, didnt have problems since.
