Thank you for letting us know about this issue. We have currently verified kernel versions 6.2 and 6.5. Upgrading the compute runtime to a higher version may cause issues on kernel versions 6.2 and 6.5, as well as with different driver versions. We will consider your suggestion if we upgrade to version 6.8 in the future.
Folks,
If you are not aware, there is an issue with old compute runtime drivers (the one that is in the prebuilt ipex-llm containers not seeing the xpu devices (sycl-ls and torch.xpu.is_available will not show the gpu devices.) for host sytems with kernel > 6.8. Fix for this is to update the compute runtime inside the container or adding these two env vars to the container:
I would recommend upgrading the compute runtime drivers inside the container. Spend few hours trying to fix this issue on latest Ubuntu 24.04 as well as an arch system with 6.9.3 kernel.
