Dear all
We are running a PVE server with a VM that we use for a local AI instance. The VM has the following configuration:
VM Configuration:
Problem:
As soon as the GPUs are passed through via PCI passthrough, the VM no longer shows any output on the console (even though the checkbox primary GPU is not selected). Regardless of which Display option I select, there is no output during the boot process. Additionally, the VM’s boot time increases significantly – with PCI passthrough, it takes about 10 minutes, whereas without it, only around 20 seconds.
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this or what further troubleshooting steps I could take?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards
