The solution to increase the stability of my server was to disable c-states in the bios and to cap my Memory from 3600mhz to 3200mhz.

Hello all, I am bashing my head against the wall trying to get this GPU passthrough working. No matter what I try I get Error 43 in the Windows VM. Please see my XML below.

Update: I think the issue was I was passing my video card to a VM. I have 2 video cards in my system. I set the second video card to handle my monitor output rather then the one being passthrough and the issue went away.

Okay, we're making progress. I found part of the solution by trail by fire. I found that because I have an Nvidia and AMD GPU in the same system, I was getting a strange driver error. Before I had "Latest" pre-selected as my branch. After changing it to production, the card shows up in Unraid, but with the error 43. Can you recommend how to fix this issue? Thanks. gpn-server-diagnostics-20240305-2152.zip

@JorgeB If I remake the flash drive, my server configuration is lost. How can I fix the issue while keeping my existing server config. As you can imagine, it took a long time to build my server. Thanks for the tip.

Hello Everyone. My Server recently stated doing this and im concerned. The server used to display "login" and ask for my user and now it displays this wall of text and never moves on to the login screen. I tired waiting for a day and it just sits on this screen. The server on the WebUI works just fine, I can log in and nothing is out of place, but I am concerned; this is not normal. Logs where generated just after boot and are attached; any advise? gpn-server-diagnostics-20240304-2021.zip

@JorgeB Thanks, I'll try disabling C-States in the bios and removing my XMP profile from 3600mhz to 2933mhz and see if that addresses system stability. If the issue persists ill follow-up on this thread. Thanks.

Hey @SimonF Thanks for the response. Please see the logs attached. I setup the Card to be used in the VM, its bound at boot, all VM and PCIE passthrough settings are enabled and still no dice. Please let me know if you have any thoughts; I am out of ideas. gpn-server-diagnostics-20240304-1959.zip

The issue is ongoing, if anyone has any ideas, please reach out.

Hello Unraid Community, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to seek assistance with a persistent issue I've been facing recently, and I'm hoping some experienced members of the community can provide insights or solutions. Issue Summary: My server, post-upgrade from a 4th gen Intel chip to Ryzen 5th gen, has been encountering frequent lockups and becoming unresponsive. This problem is particularly noticeable when attempting to access the web UI or SSH connections. I am unable to log in, and even if I manage to, the docker containers disappear. When trying to reboot the server through the web UI, no results are yielded, and a physical power cycle is required for the server to become usable again. Details: Unable to log into the server; both web UI and SSH connections time out. Web UI becomes unresponsive after entering the correct credentials. Server freezes entirely from time to time, especially observed in the afternoon on 2/29. Issue started after upgrading from a 4th gen Intel chip to Ryzen 5th gen. Difficulty in rebooting the server; timeouts occur, and the web UI is unresponsive. Docker containers are hidden, but background processes continue to function. All docker containers disappear from the Unraid dashboard, but access to the apps with web ports remains possible. Timeline: The problem became apparent after migrating to the Ryzen 5th gen processor, suggesting a potential correlation. The server's behavior is inconsistent, making it challenging to pinpoint the exact cause. Request for Help: I'm reaching out to the Unraid community in the hope that someone might have encountered a similar issue or has the expertise to guide me through diagnosing and resolving this problem. I appreciate any insights, suggestions, or solutions that you can offer. Steps Taken So Far: I have attempted to troubleshoot the issue by restoring my system to a backup build of the server from one week ago, but the problem persists. Your assistance in resolving this matter is greatly appreciated. If you need any additional information or logs, please let me know, and I'll provide them promptly. Thank you in advance for your time and support! gpn-server-diagnostics-20240302-1505.zip

same issue here.

Update: I attempted to pass though my GTX 1050TI and the issue is the same as the 6800xt. I can set the passthrough in the unraid VM configurator template, boot up the VM, and see in the VM that no GPU is being passed through. I suspect I have a general configuration error, rather then a GPU issue. If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this issue, please let me know, any help is appreciated.

Hello Everyone, I just built myself a new server with the hope of doing a GPU passthrough to a windows VM to stream games remotely. Unfortunately I have run into an issue and can not, no matter how hard I try get the passthrough working. My system specs are: R9 5950x, RX 6800XT (pcie slot 1) GTX 1050ti (pcie slot 2) Gigabyte B450 AORUS PRO WIFI, I am able to spin up a VM when using noVNC, no problem; I can get into windows. HMV and IOMMU is enabled. I have tiered booting my bios with in Legacy and UEFI mode, no different, wont work either way. What baffles me is Im able to boot into the Windows VM when I passthrough the card, I can see on the unraid dashboard that the card is though put is enabled. In the XPM config file, same thing, I configured the GPU with its auto and video device on the same bus and enabled multifunction on the card. --- <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x0a' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x0a' slot='0x00' function='0x1'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x1'/> </hostdev> <memballoon model='none'/> </devices> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='dac' relabel='yes'> ---- And to put the cherry on the top of this confusion cake, I'm able to boot into the windows VM, no errors are being thrown at me when I start the VM and remote into it with TeamViewer. But, when I open the VM device manger, the GPU is suspectedly missing. At this point, frankly, I am confused beyond belief and I think I have tired every single combination under the sun to get the GPU passed though, no dice. Obviously something is set incorrectly. Id really appreciate a second opinion because im coming up on 8 hours of troubleshooting ad haven't made any headway. I have tired with an without the vBios, Iv tired a Linux VM and Windows VM, iv tired UEFI and Legacy boot modes, enabling unsafe interrupts, PCIE overrides, and cant get the card to show up on the VM. If anybody out there had any ideas for what else I could try, please throw me a line. Going into this project I thought it was going to be much more simple then the issues I am facing now. Thanks.

Brilliant, Thank you! I looked everywhere but didn't guess the setting would be in the top right. Problem solved.

When I go to the Unraid "Display Settings", I don't see an option to disable to the help banners from loading by default. I would like the ability to click on an item of interest to view the help option rather then having to click on the item to hide the help banner every time I load up a page. Please let me know where I get find this toggle option to solve my problem and what the name of the toggle is. Resetting all my Display settings to default didn't fix the issue. Thank you!
