Hey guys,
It's currently 9:30am and started my first foray into KVM PCI passthrough around 8 hours ago. I've made a little bit of progress, but still can't figure it out. Figured I'd post here before I finally get to bed (woops!).
I'm running the following version of Proxmox:
I'm trying to pass through an AMD Radeon HD5450 through to an Ubuntu 16.04 guest. This is the contents of the configuration file for this VM:
Here is /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:
and /etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf
/etc/modules:
I have enabled intel_iommu in my grub configuration and have confirmed with dmesg that IOMMU is functioning as expected.
Relevant lspci:
lspci -n -s 02:00:
At the moment I have a display connected to the GPU via a HDMI cable. I am experiencing the following problem:
- Power on Proxmox physical host
- Proxmox starts booting, displaying video output, then suddenly stops updating the video on the screen (as if it has hung), though the web UI and SSH etc all boot up fine, as expected
- Power on the virtual machine
- Ubuntu's purple loading screen appears on the display connected to the GPU - yay!
- Display suddeny goes to 'No signal', no way to interact with the Ubuntu VM
- Opening the VNC console displays nothing
- Force 'Stop' the VM
- Power on the VM again
- Entire Proxmox host crashes, unresponsive to ping, everything. Have to do a hard reset.
Nothing in /var/log/kern.log, syslog or messages says anything about the crash. The logs simply just end as if the entire system just dies.
Any ideas? I've been tearing my hair out over this for hours now!
Thank you!
