OpenELEC VM Won't Start

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to run an OpenELEC VM, but I get a kernel panic which I think might be related to an IRQ, but I'm not sure. This is the end of the UnRAID syslog:

And in my terminal window where I ssh into my unRAID box I get the following message:

Message from syslogd@unraid at Aug 27 15:49:24 ...
kernel:Disabling IRQ #17

 

I'm not sure what the problem is. If there's a better log file somewhere please let me know and I'll look at it. Also, the Radeon 6450 is plugged into a PCIe slot which connects to the PCH on an ASRock Z97 Extreme6 motherboard. The other PCIe slots are used.

 

The strange thing is that I've had this working in the past. But for some reason it's not working now.

 

I'm stuck so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is actually a thread for support on this VM under the VM Templates subforum.

 

That said, have you tried changing the machine type / bios type under advanced view?

Yes, I tried OVMF and SeaBIOS with both Q35 and i44fx. It doesn't seem to matter which combination I used.

 

Ok, a few things:

 

1 - Click "info" in the top right of the webGui.  Does IOMMU say Enabled?

2 - Reboot into your motherboard BIOS and look for a setting for graphics and make sure it is set to integrated graphics (not PCIe)

3 - Do other VMs work with GPU pass through for you ok?

4 - Last option, review this section of the wiki and try passing the ROM file through the VM (will require you to edit the XML of the VM)

1. Yes.

2. Confirmed.

3. Yes, multiple other VMs work fine. I have a Win8 VM with a GTX 680 working as well as a OE VM with a GTX 730.

4. I haven't tried this yet, but I have successfully passed this GPU to an OE VM in the past. The firmware on the Radeon 6450 has been flashed with a UEFI image.

 

I'm wondering if when using enough resources concurrently if this is causing an IRQ resource allocation issue. Is that possible?

Which "version" of the OE VM are you using (Beta 3 or Beta 2)?  Which OE VM worked in the past?  You mean 6.1-rc1 or what?

That shouldn't be a problem, but honestly can't say for sure.  I can tell you that OVMF + AMD usually requires the ROM file to be specified for some reason.

In my view, an "irq #: nobody cared" error is a software bug in something, but may be hard to know for sure which piece of software.  The general advice would be to make sure the BIOS, all firmwares, all drivers/modules are fully up-to-date.  I don't remember the command just now, but there's a way to identify all IRQ assignments, which can help isolate the potential modules at fault (plus the associated lower level drivers and firmware), plus the BIOS itself.

I ran the following command, but I'm not sure if this is what you were thinking of:

Just wanted to add another piece of data. When I try to start my OE with the Radeon interrupt 17 is assigned to:

 17:   13568606          0          0          0          0          0          0          0  IR-IO-APIC  17-fasteoi   vfio-intx(0000:01:00.1), vfio-intx(0000:0b:00.1)

 

The relevant devices are:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 680] (rev a1)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 HDMI Audio Controller (rev a1)
0b:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Caicos [Radeon HD 6450/7450/8450 / R5 230 OEM]
0b:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Caicos HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 6400 Series]

 

Again, I'm not sure what to make of this, if anything. The Nvidia GPU is currently passed through to another OE VM which is working fine.

What version of OpenELEC and how did you get it on unRAID?

In your first post, you mention having gotten this to work in the past.  Was that with the same GPU?  What version of OE worked with this GPU previously?

 

I was using 6.0.0. Beta2 last time with unRAID version 6.1-rc2 (I think). I think I had it working with the latest version as well. There is a test I want to run. I have three VMs with GPU passthrough:

1. Windows 8 with a GTX 680

2. OE with a GTX 730

3. OE with a Radeon 6450

 

I want to test this with the Win8 VM turned off. Right now it's on and my son is using it so I need to wait to test it, but that's the only thing I can think of that might be different from when the OE/Radeon was working. And the GTX 680 and the Radeon are both assigned to IRQ 17.

 

I should be able to test this in a couple hours.

Ok, let me know how that test goes!!

OK, I shut down the Win8 VM and I still have the problem. In fact, I shut down all VMs and even added the enable_msi=1 setting to the OE VM and it still wouldn't boot. The OE VM would give a panic during boot. But I didn't see the same IRQ 17 issue.

 

I then rebooted the unRAID server and started the OE(Radeon) VM followed by the OE(GTX730) VM then the Win8 VM. I'm playing two movies at the same time and running a 3DMark 11 benchmark on the Win8 VM and everything is working right now.

 

So, I have no idea what the previous problem was, but it seems like something got hosed in the unRAID kernel which required a reboot. I probably won't spend any more time on this and I'll just hope that it doesn't happen very often, but if it does then I'll just reboot the system.

 

***UPDATE***

Sometimes when I shut down the OE (Radeon) VM then I can't restart it again without rebooting the unRAID server. I haven't been able to 100% reproduce this, but once it gets hosed only an unRAID reboot will fix it.

And to add another piece of data....

 

When the OE (Radeon) VM fails to start I can't even stop the unRAID array. When I check the box to stop the array I keep getting the following messages across the bottom of the screen:

 

"Unmounting disks...Retry unmounting disk share(s)..."

 

I have to run "shutdown -r now" in an ssh window to get it to reboot.
