I'm trying to get GPU passthrough to work on a VM. I've been following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FI31QDtyy4 . The differences between what I did and what he did in the video was modules in mkinitcpio config thingy, I used 'MODULES=(vfio_pci vfio vfio_iommu_type1 vfio_virqfd)' instead because the video was a bit outdated.
**So what I did was**
- Add intel_iommu=on in grub params
- Checked that my system supports IOMMU, I ran 'dmesg | grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU'
- Adding 'options vfio-pci ids=10de:10f0,10de:1b81' to vfio.conf
- Modifying mkinitcpio.conf as described above
- Running 'mkinitcpio -p linux'
- Modifying qemu.conf (prob not related)
- Running 'systemctl enable --now libvirtd' and 'systemctl enable virtlogd.socket'
- Reboot and go back to Windows 10 (NOT DUALBOOTED. I'm running arch off a USB STICK (NOT LIVE USB)) (Tried adding a vm but failed because I didn't do the ntfs-3g thingy)
- Came back from Windows 10 and added 'UUID=061A04D11A04C023 /media/Data/ ntfs-3g defaults 0 0' in fstab
- Changed 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"' to 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on"' in /etc/default/grub
- Rebooted and stuck at "Loading version 240 (when I remove the intel_iommu=on from params, it booted just fine)
First boot that iommu worked, I used my GPU as output. I tried iGPU after GPU didn't work on the last boot (No Signal). Also I've checked Arch's official wiki about PCI passthrough and the steps were pretty similiar
**/etc/mkinitcpio.conf**:
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES=(vfio_pci vfio vfio_iommu_type1 vfio_virqfd)
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=()
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H ' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS=(base)
#
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
#
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
#
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck)
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"
# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=()
