Problem using Nvidia Quadro FX 1800

[Andru]

Hello guys!

 

I am currently running my unraid-build(6.9.2) on an older HP Z600 setup. While this is quite old hardware

it works really well for my use. I am trying to have some fun with plex/emby and passthrough the

graphics card.

 

The first thing I did was download the "Nvidia driver" plugin, followed by the "GPU statistics" plugin. Unfortunately none

of these seem to recognise my GPU.  I know that Unraid sees the GPU because when i run lspci -v i see it here:

28:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G94GL [Quadro FX 1800] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation G94GL [Quadro FX 1800]
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 5, IOMMU group 16

        Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
        Memory at f4000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M]
        I/O ports at e000 [size=128]

        Capabilities: [128] Power Budgeting <?>
        Capabilities: [600] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0001 Rev=1 Len=024 <?>
        Kernel modules: nvidia_drm, nvidia

 

The Nvidia-driver plugin gives me the following error:

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

 

 

Does anyone know how I can begin to fix this?

It might just be possible that my HW is too old...?

 

Thanks in advance!

Bumping myself to the top, hopefully someone has seen this problem before?

Did you get this resolved? It is happening all of a sudden to me. it was working fine until I think the latest beta.
