Host crashing after passthrough in proxmox

[joshtwc]

So long story short, I am setting up a home assistant/frigate vm and I need to pass through the dual edge tpu to frigate. I have come very close and it appears in home assistant and in frigate, but after some time it will crash the host (which is an HP ProLiant DL380 G10) running Proxmox 8.2 with the following error messages (in iLO):

Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception (Processor 1, APIC ID 0x00000000, Bank 0x00000006, Status 0xBB800000'00000E0B, Address 0x00000000'00000000, Misc 0x00000000'36000000).
Uncorrectable PCI Express Error Detected. Slot 2 (Segment 0x0, Bus 0x36, Device 0x0, Function 0x0). Uncorrectable Error Status: 0x4000```

Here is the lspci information:

It is an dual intel xeon motherboard, the adapter is plugged into a riser card at the back of the unit. I have tried the following:

• Disabling SR-IOV in bios
• Changing pcie configuration to gen 1 (bios)
• Updating the grub cmdline for iommu (intel_iommu=on, iommu=pt, etc)
• Changing which pcie port it is plugged into

Its strange that it only crashes upon starting frigate, and it runs for a bit (stable) until it crashes suddenly with no useful logs other than those from HP Integrated Lights Out (iLO)

Hi @joshtwc Sorry for the late reply. Is there a chance to try it with desktop PC, rather than server?

[joshtwc]

Hey, I did try it in a desktop and it worked no problem.

Hey, I did try it in a desktop and it worked fine. Its just odd that it works on my server for a few minutes then crashes the host, every time without fail.

@joshtwc given it does work with desktop PC, we can conclude incompatibility with particular server. Letter sent if you'd like to return the board
