A while ago, I have build a new Ryzen setup. I am currently experimenting with Unraid 6.6.6 and trying to setup my daily Ubuntu VM with a passed through GTX 1060 from Inno3D. Unfortunately, I get error messages related to the GPU.

-- Setup --

M/B: ASRock - B450M Pro4

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core @ 3400

GPU: GTX 1060 6Gb from Inno3d

HVM and IOMMU: Enabled (According to the info panel of Unraid)

I have tried passing through the GPU with many different Graphic ROM Bioses. One was straight from Techpowerup, one was the first but modified according to these instructions from SpaceinvaderOne and one was taken from Spaceinvaders post which features a list of community dumps (I took the one available for the 1060 from EVGA). All of them failed with the following error message:

2018-12-16T22:17:35.335767Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=23:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.4,addr=0x0,romfile=/mnt/disk1/isos/vbios/GTX1060.Inno3D.rom: Failed to mmap 0000:23:00.0 BAR 3. Performance may be slow

2018-12-16T22:17:35.410501Z qemu-system-x86_64: vfio: Cannot reset device 0000:23:00.0, depends on group 22 which is not owned.

2018-12-16T22:17:36.818822Z qemu-system-x86_64: vfio: Cannot reset device 0000:23:00.0, depends on group 22 which is not owned.

The PCI device with the number 0000:23:00 is the mentioned GPU. After shutting down the VM I see the following error in the logs, again indicating that something is not working out with the GPU (copied just once but it is many many times in the logs):

2018-12-16T22:18:08.354094Z qemu-system-x86_64: 

vfio_region_write(0000:23:00.0:region3+0x1098, 0x0,8) failed: Device or resource busy

So I suppose the issue is that my graphics card is used by some other part of the system. Looking for answers online, I found this post about the problem. I understand what the author explained but the fix did not work for me.

My configuration for the VM is the following. Since I am quite new to Unraid, I will rather post the full configuration and strip some parts off when some more experienced community members tell which parts are the most important.

I also looked up the compatibility of my components but did not find any hard evidence that there is a hardware limitation in any way.

The corresponding question on the Unraid forum is this.
