Hi there

 

I wanted to move Unraid to my main PC and create a working VM on it. Before I did it, I wanted to test it out and installed a fresh version of Unraid on a new stick and launched it. After a lot of troubles I finally managed to get my Nvidia GTX 1060 to be successfully passed through to my Windows 10 VM. As this is the only driver, I had to "unbind" it from unraid. 

For that I've found on forums following command strip, which I pasted in the flash drive both on Unraid OS and Unraid OS GUI Mode:

kernel /bzimage
append pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction video=efifb:off initrd=/bzroot

 

When booting Unraid, on some place the display froze and didn't show anything, which means, that the server has released the graphics card. Now I installed all the drivers and launched my "normal" Unraid flash drive. I added the change above to the flash drive, but it didn't release the graphics card. Each time I start Unraid, I see the IPv4 and my login flashing. Also the VM isn't working, as I don't have image on my screens.

Is the once instaled nvidia plugin the issue here? I have tried different "flash" configurations I found on forum, but without any success.

 

In attachment I add the diagnostics.

 

Thanks for any help!

Here a diagnostic from the unraid USB drive on which the video=efifb:off is working correctly and the screen freezes on vfio-pci 0000:2b:00.0 vgaarb: .....

 

I hope someone can tell me what is wrong with my regular flash drive ..

Try copying the vfio-pci.cfg file from the 'config' folder on the "tower" flash device over to the "borg" flash device.

Yaaaaay, thanks! i must have changed it while I was trying to get my "test-server-vm" to work. And as I am a noob, I must have forgotten it and remembered only the config files I changed.
