Linux (debian-ProxMox) Recompile needing over 60Gb (and counting) to compile

example?

I vaguely remember DMAR being an issue, and IIRC the solution was the kernel flag pcie_aspm=off

Right, so this is for libvirt. Which proxmox doesn’t use because “reasons”

So the important thing there is the qemu argument -set device.ua-sm2262.x-msix-relocation=bar2.

You can set command line args with theargs flag in the <vmnum>.conf file, in /etc/pve/nodes/<nodeid>/qemu-server/.

Either create or append to the args: flag in that conf file and you may have luck.

Just applied the ASPM flag, rebooting now. Assuming that works, will try the Qemu arg.

(BTW thanks so much! )

Any time.

I’m not positive that the ASPM flag will fix the DMAR issues. It’s just what I experienced on my 1950x when the IOMMU was on.

Am I right in thinking that I would also have to define the device in addition to passing the args to the Qemu server? (Also, ASPM flag worked! )

EDIT: yup, got this:

kvm: -set device.ua-sm2263.x-msix-relocation=bar2: there is no device "ua-sm2263" defined
TASK ERROR: start failed: QEMU exited with code 1

proxmox defines the device itself with hostpci${i}:

So, a GPU would look like this:

hostpci0: 00:05:00.0,pcie=1
hostpci1: 00:05:00.1,pcie=1

So I’m not sure what the alias (the ua-sm2263 segment of the argument) would be on proxmox, but if you notice in the XML, it’s setting an alias. I don’t think aliases are supported on proxmox.

So you might need to play around a bit with it. (or attach to the qemu console and pull some data from it, without the -set flag.

Gotcha!

Would I then switch out the args line to be

args: -set device.00:05.0.x-msix-relocation=bar2

Possibly. I’m honestly not sure.

What comes to mind would be either the pci address or the flag in the conf, so hostpci0

But again, I can’t say for sure.

Oh, also, add the ,pcie=1 to your pci definitions, otherwise they’ll run as old, slow PCI rather than PCIe!

yuh, now this is surprising,

changing to hostpci seems to have allowed it to progress further! It’s booting up now! (thanks for the tip on pcie btw, didn’t know that was a thing!)

Alright, so just finished booting up, but now none of the device are being shown in freenas

Export if LSPCi from the freenas shell is:

They don’t show in the PCI device tree?

Can you share the current config again?

Let’s see the device/vendor codes.

Maybe pcie=1 isn’t helping? :thinking:

Not sure what those QEMU PCI-PCI bridge devices are.

Had a similar hunch! trying that now

In the meantime, I went to reconfigure my windows vm (12 cores, 72gb ram, with numa option selected) with a 5600xt connected. I havent been getting a display out of it yet. changed it to have pcie=1 in the .conf, and the entire host crashed, with the following being sent to my ssh shell:

I’m restarting the system now, will keep the windows vm off in the meantime .

so maybe pcie=1 is definitely not something we want.

That’s directly contrary to the proxmox documentation.

Yeah! so removing pcie=1 did the trick!

All devices showing up properly in the freenas VM

Nice! I’m still fairly confused about that one, but glad it’s working now.

Yeah! now to figure out the windows vm xD

it’s the one that crashes the entire host when I try to start it with PCIe=1.

Other issue is that it won’t detect any displays attached to the gpu (5600xt, with the patch applied)

I’ve installed the and windows driver, and it does detect the card correctly. However it will not detect any attached displays. tried both HDMI and an active DP->DVI, with neither doing anything

GPU, cables and monitor are known good (where working in an ESXi windows vm a few days ago)

the .conf for the vm is:

bootdisk: ide0
cores: 12
hostpci0: 0d:00
ide0: local-lvm:vm-101-disk-0,size=48G
ide2: local:iso/Windows-10-0.iso,media=cdrom

Does that GPU have a separate HDMI audio device?

all GPUs I’ve ever seen have had a 00.0 for the GPU, and a 00.1 for the audio.

You need to pass both together or it won’t work properly.

I passed the “All functions” flag to it via the gui, will reconfigure as a separate device since thats the recommendation I often see
