PCI Passthrough Explained! I go over the System Configuration with verification steps in this series of videos. This video goes over enabling IOMMU, Changing kernel for VFIO, and Whitelisting QEMU for your system. Timestamps: 0:30 Overview and Explaining Steps with distribution and hardware differences 5:00 Step 1- Enabling IOMMU 6:37 Step 2 - Finding Device IDs and creating VFIO Passthrough kernel 12:28 Step 3 - Apparmor Setup My Recommend Graphics Card AMD RX 570 - https://amzn.to/2Fn6kfA Cheat Sheet *NVIDIA Disclaimer*: Extra steps needed when VM is created in Part 2 *Intel Disclaimer*: Steps shown are on an AMD CPU, make sure you sub out amd for intel in Part 1. Add the following to /etc/default/grub Check for line --- GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" Add -- iommu=1 amd_iommu=on (Sub amd to intel depending on CPU) $ sudo update-grub Reboot! Verify IOMMU is enabled $ dmesg | grep IOMMU Lets Find the Card to passthrough $ lspci -nn | grep -iP "VGA|audio" Setup VFIO with Device numbers/id from above VIDEO AND AUDIO! $ sudo nano /etc/initramfs-tools/modules Add the following softdep amdgpu pre: vfio vfio_pci vfio vfio_iommu_type1 vfio_virqfd options vfio_pci ids=1002:67df,1002:aaf0 vfio_pci ids=1002:67df,1002:aaf0 vfio_pci amdgpu $ sudo nano /etc/modules Add the following: vfio vfio_iommu_type1 vfio_pci ids=1002:67df,1002:aaf0 $ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf softdep amdgpu pre: vfio vfio_pci $ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/vfio_pci.conf options vfio_pci ids=1002:67df,1002:aaf0 lspci -vnn | grep -iP "vga|amdgpu|nvidia|nouveau|vfio-pci" Avoid BSODs on New Windows 10 Installs $ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf options kvm ignore_msrs=1 options kvm report_ignored_msrs=0 Fix Apparmor restrictions $ sudo nano /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu -Modify- for usb access /dev/bus/usb/** rw, /etc/udev/udev.conf r, /sys/bus/ r, /sys/class/ r, /run/udev/data/* rw, -Append- Looking Glass /dev/shm/looking-glass rw, $ sudo systemctl restart apparmor . ►► Digital Downloads ➜ https://www.cttstore.com/ ►► Reddit ➜ https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisTitusTech/ ►► Titus Tech Talk ➜ null ►► Twitch ➜ https://www.twitch.tv/christitustech
