Automated Install

Warning

Use bash scripts at your own risk, read the code carefully before executing. We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

• Respect the privacy of others.
• Think before you type.
• With great power comes great responsibility.

Step by step install

1. Download rocky linux

https://rockylinux.org/download | https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/live/x86_64/Rocky-9-Workstation-x86_64-latest.iso

Tip

The workstation ISO is recommeded for this install. There are a sperate set of instructions for a minimal server install.

1. Download and install vendtoy on a usb thumb drive and copy the ISO to it.
2. Set system to boot to thumbdrive in the system bios.
3. Follow the install instructions for the iso and ideally install onto an nvme drive on the system.
4. reboot the system and login as an admin/sudo user and open the terminal.

Warning

The renaming instructions are mostly done via the gnome terminal after the base OS install.

Tip

https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/b5xpua/the_ultimate_beginners_guide_to_gpu_passthrough/

1. Configure the Grub:

nano /etc/default/grub

# Change this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"

# To this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet amd_iommu=on"

# Or with additional commands:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet amd_iommu=on iommu=pt pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction nofb nomodeset video=vesafb:off,efifb:off"

# Save & Exit

update-grub

2. VFIO Modules:

nano /etc/modules

# Add the following to the 'modules' file:
vfio
vfio_iommu_type1
vfio_pci
vfio_virqfd

# Save & Exit nano(ctrl+o, ctrl+x)

3. IOMMU interrupt remapping:

echo "options vfio_iommu_type1 allow_unsafe_interrupts=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/iommu_unsafe_interrupts.conf
echo "options kvm ignore_msrs=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf

4. BlackListing Drivers:

echo "blacklist radeon" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
echo "blacklist nvidia" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

5. Adding GPU to VFIO:

lspci -v | grep NVIDIA

# Find you GPU Number and run the following, for example:
lspci -n -s 01:00

# Take note of the vendor id codes: **10de:1b81** and **10de:10f0**.
# Now we add the GPU's vendor id's to the VFIO, for example:
echo "options vfio-pci ids=10de:1b81,10de:10f0 disable_vga=1"> /etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf

# Finally, run this:
update-initramfs -u

# restart
reset
