And now it looks like it just got pulled

Yay. Up and running on 5.18rc5 kernel. Gonna give it a day, just to make sure the kernel is stable.

Please please report back and let us know how it goes!

I did a test load and notice there is no firmware for i915 so not sure will work without updated bzfirmware also.

 

Also any plugins that are kernel specific will fail to load, i.e. nvidia, zfs, usbip etc.

Well crap. Is there any easy way for me to do that? I'm guessing not.

Will review tomorrow may be able to download and then run modprobe i915 in go file from here https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/i915

I'm not running anny of the plugins mentioned by SimonF and everything works great

Took the gues on this custom kernel yesterday, It is still working grreat here (Plex Transcoding) server is up for more then 12 hours without one crash and multiple streams on plex done with and without transcoding:

For those needing a bit of a direction with the parameter overwrite mentioned on the github page:

Go to your flash drive --> syslinux configuration section and under Unraid OS (green bar)
You will see:

kernel /bzimage
append isolcpus=15 initrd=/bzroot

 

Modify to:

kernel /bzimage
append isolcpus=15 initrd=/bzroot md_mod.unraid_patch=22 (number according to post number --> unraid version translation)

It seems to work great gonna experiment with Unmanic today

Did you need to load additional firmware?

I just turned on hardware transcoding and Plex shows that its using it. Seems odd based on whats in the system log. Weird.

 

I guess we'll see how stable it is?

No I did not need to load any firmware. I'm using 5.18rc5 kernel.

Interesting. That doesn't have whatever 6.10RCx changes were done.

Seems it doesn't work with hardware transcoding. Not sure why it was showing that it did.

Hey everyone,

 

just following this thread and almost purchased a i5 12600k today to build a new plex/unraid/docker/vm server. 
 

Im assuming the igpu issue is still present, is it close to being fixed or should I still use my i7 8700? 
 

thanks!

I'd *strongly* recommend waiting.  If you really want to upgrade now, maybe get an 11700 instead.

I don't think anyone can officially answer that question of when it would get fixed except limetech. My recommendation would be to hold what you have for a bit longer until support is improved.

The 12600k can do at least two 4K transcodes on CPU alone, which is going to be the same limit that your 8700 can do on QSV.  

While there isn't any iGPU support for Alder Lake support right now, you'll still have better overall performance with the 12600k, even with transcoding.

Eeeeeh I mean, 2 4k HEVC transcodes maybe.  But if he's serving multiple people it's a very different story.  My old G5400 Celeron could easily handle 12 concurrent 1080p transcodes and a 4k HEVC transcode.  Meanwhile, my current 12400 struggles to manage 4 concurrent transcodes, and starts buffering if any cpu power is used anywhere else.  It's a huge problem for me, because the brand new 12400 is wildly inferior in practice to the crappy old *dual core* 2.5ghz Celeron.

Yeah, I’ll be having about 3-5 streams at once. So yeah that actually would be a problem right now.

Does the 11th gen have the same issue?? Or is it only the 12th gen processors.

I love the geek bench scores of the 12th gen but not having the igpu is probably gonna kill me and have a lot of pissed off family members lol

Only 12th gen.  The 11700 is roughly comparable in power to the 12600 as well, so you're not getting a weaker system, and you'll end up with likely a cheaper motherboard too.  I deeply regret doing the 12400 thing myself, but it's way too late unfortunately.

Hmm okay, Ill scour new egg and see if there’s a cheaper option but I wonder if I should just stay with my i7 8700. So many decisions [emoji28]

Basically I’m only transcoding 1080p with about 5-8 users. Only reason why I was switching was to get away from rclone and google drive as it locks the server up now at 3-4 streams.

Also sorry for hijacking this thread [emoji28]

Used 5.18rc5 for kernel and only used bzfirmware from 5.18RC2.

 

Unraid vers was 6.10rc5
