[Issue]: PVE 8.2.2 with Kernel 6.5.13-5-pve compiling without issues, still no VFs visible

[barrio5]

Hi,

I'm running PVE 8.2.2 with Kernel 6.5.13-5-pve and DKMS is compiling without any issues but no VFs are visible. What am I doing wrong? See logs:

What's the output of lspci -nn?

You've got devices using the i915 driver at PCIe addresses 00:02 and 00:03, and it's trying to set up SR-IOV on device 00:02 and running into an issue with the driver for that device.

So, we need to know what those devices are. :)

Just to confirm, you're trying to use the 00:02.0 iGPU device?

Also, I apologize, I should have asked this before. Could you please paste the output of the following commands?

uname -a
sudo dkms status

This looks very similar to issue #96 . There wasn't a resolution on that, but it looks like the problem might have been that a kernel update happened after the driver was built, which the above commands will help us figure out (hopefully).

[barrio5]

no worries :)

yes I'm trying to use the 00:02.0 iGPU device

sudo dkms status: i915-sriov-dkms/6.5.13-5: added

[johntdavis84]

Thanks! That looks good so far, actually. Take a look at the Host (Proxmox) configuration section of this tutorial. Unless you have secure boot enabled, you're good to go with 6.5.13-5. :) https://www.derekseaman.com/2023/11/proxmox-ve-8-1-windows-11-vgpu-vt-d-passthrough-with-intel-alder-lake.html

I'd suggest reading through the entire host config section before trying anything else, but it looks like you need to finish Step 4: "Let’s now build the new kernel and check the status. Validate that it shows installed."

EDIT: I wanted to add that I've successfully used this tutorial to install the DKMS driver on Proxmox with kernel 6.5.13-5.

I had the same issue. For me putting intel_iommu=on iommu=pt i915.enable_guc=3 i915.max_vfs=7 in /etc/kernel/cmdline instead of /etc/default/grub and running proxmox-boot-tool refresh && reboot fixed it.

Were you able to get this going with the tutorial I linked?

i met the same issue, after re-install this module and exec these following commands, it works. hope it would help.

sudo update-grub
sudo update-initramfs -u
