New to unraid, 9900k missing /dev/dri

This is my first time using unraid.  My sole goal is to replace an old ESXi system that has been running a Plex VM for the last 5 years.

 

The new system is a MSI A-390 PRO motherboard with a i9-9900k CPU. 

 

I can't seem to get hardware transcoding working with the Plex container. 

 

Here are the steps I've taken:

 

  • Enabled the IGPU in the BIOS
  • Appended "i915.alpha_support=1" to the initrd line in syslinux.cfg
  • Appended the modprobe i915 and chmod commands to the go file
  • Added the --device line to the docker config

 

When I manually run "modprobe i915" i see the module being loaded with lsmod, but the device "/dev/dri" doesn't appear.

Is the i9-9900k IGPU supported?

 

Any help is appreciated.

It looks like the GPU in the 9900k is only supported in 4.20+.

 

The top image is from the i915 dev channel I found and the bottom image is from my unraid 6.6.5 system running the 9900k. Any idea when unraid will support kernel 4.20+?

Edit: Just came to the sad realization the latest stable kernel is 4.19 :(.
