Proxmox VE & UM890 Pro + GPU Passthrough

[DLJ1]

Hi, a complete noob here to Proxmox...

My Hardware:

MINISFORUM UM890 Pro

32GB RAM

2 TB NVMe


My aims with the setup are ( I`m assuming its possible )

I wanna end up with a proxmox host running various LXCs like
Jellyfin Server
Android x86
+ others like wireguard, pi-hole...
Android x86 enviroment ( for media players ,kodi, Jellyfin etc )


I Only have the Radeon 780M ( 8000 Series ) iGPU ( HDMI plugged direct into TV )
No descrete GPU

BIOS Setup:
Optimised defaults enabled
only real changes are:
Resize BAR is Disabled
Secure Boot is disabled
Int Graphics ( IGD )

I have a ZFS setup on the NVMe






the idea is Jellyfin Server running without any display, as it can be access via WebUI & other LXC that need display can have GPU passed through to the LXC and HDMI provide the output

I`ve tried

Proxmox ve 9.0.1
Proxmox ve 8.4.1

general setup being

nano /etc/default/grub
replace 1 line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet amd_iommu=on"

update-grub

reboot host

dmesg | grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU

output

nano /etc/modules

 GNU nano 7.2                          /etc/modules

update-initramfs -u -k all

Reboot host

Isolate GPU from host

echo "options vfio-pci ids=1002:1900,1022:15e2 disable_vga=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf

Blacklist GPU drivers

echo "blacklist radeon" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

echo "blacklist amdgpu" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Reboot host

Try a test VM
Win 11
q35
OVMF UEFI

created the VM ( without starting it )
added a new pci device

c5:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Phoenix3 [1002:1900] (rev d4)

regardless, every time i start the VM, a few seconds after starting & the host reboots


this happens the same on both Proxmox 9.0.1 & Proxmox 8.4.1
only warning being

error writing '1' to '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:c5:00.0/reset': Inappropriate ioctl for device failed to reset PCI device '0000:c5:00.0

I`ve tried adding the Win virtio-win-0.1.271 in the VM setup, same outcome



I dont really intend on using Windows VM,

but thought I`d use it to test the passthrough setup on the host


after some more google searches it seems there are workarounds for, I found

On GitHub /isc30/ryzen-gpu-passthrough-proxmox

this doesnt seem to suggest support for the APU ( Ryzen 9 8945hs ( Radeon 8000 series 780M ) )


so at this point i really dont know how to proceed, just bouncing around different versions of proxmox & not getting anywhere


Does anyone have any insight or experience getting the UM890 Pro / Ryzen9 8945hs working with GPU passthrough working ok ?

I know there is an amd reset bug , what are the symptoms of this ?
what I`m experiencing?

any help appreciated

thanks.
