Hi folks,
I'm using proxmox on my personal rig with a couple of Windows and Linux VMs. I have an NVIDIA graphic card passed through to most of them. Things are working flawlessly - I've had this setup for almost two years now.

Since the latest pve-qemu-kvm (2.11.1-3) none of the VMs start anymore - neither Linux, nor Windows. They all get stuck on the bootup screen. The issue is easily reproducible for me - if I downgrade to "2.9.1-9" things are working again. When I update to "2.11.1-3" things are broken.


Usually I'm able to triage those kinds of issues by myself, but I do not find any hints as to where the issue might come from (nothing in logs - maybe I'm just blind and I missed something). Can you guys give me some pointers as to where I should look?

Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I could approach debugging this?

Its a known issue with the current packages in our pvetest repository. Will be fixed in one of the upcoming package uploads.
