Hello. I’m trying to enable the NVIDIA driver in Debian 11,that I have emulated with bhyve on FreeBSD 13r. This is the error I get while I’m logged inside Debian using ssh from FreeBSD : root@marietto:~# startx X.Org X Server 1.20.11 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: linu…

ohhh ok. now I understand…ok…I’m going to attach it here…I wil send you a personal message,since maybe inside the file there are personal informations…done. check your personal messages.

The driver was correctly installed. To make sure, this is from the debian running on top of kvm? Did you set the hypervisor to hidden there?

yes. it runs on top of qemu and kvm. No,I forgot to hide the hypervisor. BUT,if this cares,why,installing : cuda-repo-debian10-11-4-local_11.4.1-470.57.02-1_amd64.deb,the problem is not present ? I should see the same error,since I keep the hypervisor not hidden in both cases.

Like you mentioned in your early posts, consumer gpu passthrough regulations have changed beginning with v465. Whether this applies to the linux driver or only to the windows driver, is not known to me, infos are scarce.

I know,but I read from nvidia that it is valid only for the Windows driver. Anyway,for sure I can hide it and check.

Since the errors were the same with unhidden kvm and bhyve, I guess there more to hide in bhyve than just the vm bit from cpuid. Here’s the commit to qemu to hide kvm: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/f522d2acc549dd11f495048330aa5f3f424a7dfa

Instead of hiding things, you could also try to patch bhyve to set the kvm signature, maybe this will fool the nvidia driver 470+ enough.

Hello @generix . We have been able to hide the bhyve’s / kvm signature and it seems that it worked,even if I’m not totally sure,since I’m not able to turn on my external monitor. But I suspect that this does not depend on the old error. [Screenshot_20211102_191816] So,on Debian Linux. I’ve attach…

This problem is fixed. Hiding the hypervisor worked. Now can we come back where we started ? to the earlier problem ? to bhyve. I will go under FreeBSD and I will try if this working vm runs even there.
