  • Kernel 6.0.1 is stable since today, chances are high that the next Unraid release includes it.

    Oke so this weekend i had some free time to spend and checked out support on unraid 6.12 rc2. I started of fresh by reinstalling my flash drive and putting back a copy of the config folder on to it. 

  • What are your vm settings for the guys getting passthrough working? Any special steps taken? I keep getting code 43 after installing the latest beta drivers.

This probe is for a A380, it is most likely that all A380s have those identifier but no guarantee... :)

 

I think you know how to get your device ID when your card arrives. ;)

A380 I learn about device ID from intel: 5693

The Asrock A380 Challenger is the 56a5 per the testing I've done with @ich777.  Still working on getting the card running with Unraid directly.

My a380 just arrived today.  Excited to see these working in unraid

jellyfin,emby or plex can use the A380?Whether the decoding ability can be used,include AV1

None of them can do anything with the A380 in Unraid itself.  If you pass through to a VM you can use it, but otherwise it's unsupported right now.

I am, too. If you manage to Laos your own drivers or find a way let me know!

My ARC arrived today will install over next few days.

Article about power consumption:

 

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/10/high-idle-power-use-on-intel-arc-gpus-requires-fiddling-with-bios-settings/

 

Users will need to go into their PC's BIOS and configure a pair of advanced PCI Express power management settings—the "Native ASPM" (or active-state power management) setting should be enabled, and the "PCI Express root port ASPM" setting should be enabled and set to "L1 Substates." You'll also need to set the PCI Express Link State Power Management setting to "maximum power savings" in Windows' advanced power options settings.

 

...

 

Testing from Tom's Hardware shows that with the settings enabled, Arc A750 power consumption at idle dropped from 37.3 W to 15.5 W, a significant drop. The same settings didn't seem to have an effect on an Arc A770 card, though it's unclear whether this is a motherboard bug, a GPU hardware or firmware or driver problem, or something else.

 

Intel may be able to address the issue in the long-term with driver or firmware updates for the Arc A-series GPUs, but the troubleshooting article doesn't make it sound very likely. Intel says that the company "will be looking at making optimizations in future generations," which makes it sound like we'll need new hardware to address the issue decisively.

With Kernel 6.0.0 you have to unload the Kernel module first and then force the correct probe:

modprobe -rf i915
modprobe i915 force_probe=56a5

 

Or you simply create the i915.conf file in the modprobe.d directory:

mkdir -p /boot/config/modprobe.d
echo "options i915 force_probe=56a5" > /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf

 

From our testing with Jellyfin it won't work currently with Kernel 6.0.0 but I will compile a custom build with Kernel 6.0.1 shortly and we will try again.

@ich777 I have an arc a380 and would like to test it with emby. Could I get the details on your custom build with 6.0.1?

I haven't got time yet to compile it, I will try to compile it next week.

I'm not sure if this will be of help, but I have an Arc 750 that I can test with, if it will help bring compatibility to the ARC GPUs.

Installed my ARC today but no luck so far getting running in a VM. Error 43 at present. Will look into tomorrow.

 

Anyone running a card in VM?

I'm in the same boat; I also noticed that the Arc Cards audio looks to show up as an additional device in VIFO on my machine rather than the same slot with an additional function. Also my NVIDIA card likes to drop out too; time to do some investigating

Hey ich777 I also got my hand on an A380 if you need more help testing.

We have to wait a bit longer since I see many issues on Linux with DG1 & DG2 graphics with the latest Intel Media driver:

...and many other unanswered questions.

 

I think it will take a bit longer until you can get them to work reliable on Linux with the complete feature set (as this is always the case with bleeding edge hardware and especially true for Intel).

I have update to latest MSI Bios for the motherboard, tried a few options within bios but cannot get the VM to use the card, still get Code43.

 

Card does not seem to reset properly on shutdown.

  • Community Expert

So I have been able to boot Win11 with ARC as second GPU and it displayed a screen. But I have only been able to do once so far. Not sure if the card is being reset correctly.

I was able to successfully passthrough an ARC A380 into a Windows 10 VM and everything seems to be working as properly as can be with the current drivers.

 

Then I went to reboot the VM and my entire server locked up. I had to hard reboot the server and when it came back up, the server can't even see the GPU anymore. Multiple reboots nothing. So I've pulled it from my server and put my 1070 back in.

 

Running an X570 Mobo with a Ryzen 9 3900X.

Now have my ARC A770 working as a pasthru device on windows 11. I believe my issue is the GPU connecting via a HDMI switch, now direct seems to be working fine.

 

One issue I still have is with the Audio part.

 

image.thumb.png.5a6a719f4fcf95082489ebd9b5c73d51.png

 

if I passthru 04:00.0 it works in the VM, but host crashes with no logs when VM is stopped.

 

 

Tried all day with A770+W10 VM. Code 43 still. 
 

Set up a separate box for a fresh windows 10 install (not vm) card installs and works just fine. 
 

I'm out of ideas.
