Issues getting 1050ti to use VFIO Driver

Hi everyone, I use Arch btw

I just recently finished setting up PCI passthrough following the Arch wiki. I think I’ve a step but not sure what exactly. The system is still using the nouveau driver. Any suggestions?

dmesg | grep -i vfio seems to only find my grub entries and only in reference to the linux-lts kernel and not my current kernel (5.6.8)

dmesg | grep -i vfio
[ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-linux-lts root=UUID=47b2c53b-ec08-4abc-933a-375cc05648e0 rw loglevel=3 quiet amd_iommu=on vfio-pci.ids=10de:1c82,10de:0fb9

I figured out that my system was now using the lts kernel as default. (never specified the system to do so - not sure why or how that happened).

Seems to be all working now
