GPU acting weirdly after hardware changes, please help


Recommended Posts

I made this post apready however I have some updates so I deleted the old one and added all the new info here.

 

So, here's the problem.

A couple of days ago I upgraded my motherboard and cpu, (got a i9 10850k on Asrock motherboard) after setting everything up unraid started properly, the vm started properly and everything was working properly as it should.

Except that the VM kept freezing even for up to 2 minutes at a time, all the vm cores went to 100% and stayed there until it unfroze.

I had this vm running fine for about a year so I'm sure that my 2080 doesn't have any issues getting passed to a VM.

I did a quick reboot of the server hoping that it would fix the issue but it made a bigger one, now every time I try to start the VM it pauses after the TianoCore logo comes up. If I try to resume it it comes up saying: " internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'cont': Resetting the Virtual Machine is required ".

I checked the logs and got the "qemu-system-x86_64: vfio_err_notifier_handler" warning with the GPU id and it's other components.

I tried removing the GPU and using VNC which worked perfectly so I'm sure that the problem is related to the GPU passthrough, I made a different VM but didn't solve the issue. I really don't understand how it happened as it was working kind of fine and stopped working just after the Unraid reboot.

 

It's been a couple of days since then, I have been thinkering and found out that the gpu works if I stop the vm, remove any of the gpu components, start the vm, stop the vm, add the componebt back. Well, it works until I reboot the server, which is a problem as I turn it off everynight. I'm guessing that this means that the gpu and drivers work fine, all the hardware is ok, the gpu is not being used by any other service. The problem is just that the server doesn't load the vm properly when it boots.

 

If someone has any idea on how to fix this please let me know.

Thank you
