Intel Arc support

Looks like it had no effect. Tried my other vm just see if it was an OS thing instead, but seems that something else is up.

People that it working please show the basic setting for your VM

FYI it works without the Virtual and igp also.

Looks like my VM config is almost identical. Changed my BIOS to match yours and reinstalled the OS and still looks like I'm getting a Code 43.

This time I got an error report when trying to install the driver.

 

|ERROR|Something went wrong while converting string to pci identifier
|ERROR|Something went wrong while loading "DisplayDevice"
|ERROR|Something went wrong while loading device
|ERROR|Something went wrong while creating device. Guid = "4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318"

 

My CPU is an intel i7700k so maybe a little old? Looks like I need a 10th gen or newer. I thought having resizable bar was optional.

Ok only a slight difference I will try to rebuild to match.

Managed to get it working for me. I needed to make sure a couple settings were set in Bios no changes from what SimonF put in his screenshot.

 

- I set my bios to UFEI boot only

- Enabled resizable bar (not sure if needed)

- MSI bios had an option to detect VGA devices it was set to auto. Turned it off.

- IGPu set to default display

- Rebooted

 

I will likely test some encoding. So far its been good. CPU AV1 was giving me 2hr estimates on a 30 minute file. Now I see 6-10 minutes with Intel profile.

This is in your host bios?

Hi Guys,

 

I don't know if this can help us but thor2002 has some unraid kernels ready on variouse 6.x.x linux kernels, My problem is that my servers RTL8125 (Realtek 2.5GBe nic) stops working, I also will receive my A380 tomorrow and was looking in to the arc support. Hope some have succes with the 6.x.x kernels from thor. I will also start testing again tomorrow with a different machine that has the RTL8125 and an intel nic for backup (not the machine that will get the A380)

https://github.com/thor2002ro/unraid_kernel/releases

I also used thor's kernels when Alder lake iGPU was still not officialy supported and that worked great! but now My nic is not supported with his kernels so I hope others with other nics have more luck.

Edit 26-01:
I tested some more with another Intel based dual gb nic card and the custom kernels from thor also don't work with that, I will check on a different machine with a clean unraid stick to see what whil happen
