Also I do not use actual patch you can find in pavo GitHub but older ones. I think he is doing multi platform experiment with this patches to try to solve Problem for other platform. I think also @Pavo could confirm this as he did in private few hour ago

 

@iGPUif you have another working Linux you can compile by yourself 

I prefer @Pavogive you clear instruction because he has helped me to understand how.

to all

audio is working and the only problem now is audio jack Detection.

by the way now i think pavo had some success we audio in unraid. Maybe it could be useful also in proxmox understand well how Unraid works

 

First, I should get my system working better.

 

I tested more tonight and under Windows 10 everything seems fine. I stress tested and temps never got over 75°C (I did not yet run Prime95). It runs without crashing. But under UnRAID or Proxmox, system crashes with same, repeatable errors in 5 min or so. Something about Linux and this CPU.

 

I'll run other Linux tests tomorrow.

 

Fabiosun, when you used to use MCE=off, did you place that in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, or somewhere else?

 

Thanks.

Yes in that line

new proxmox release does not need anymore of mce=off

@Driftwood

Since my system is closer to yours. Do you feel it stable with your setup. Any new issue pop since you been running it for a few days. Any changes?

Nope. All good so far - pondering whether to switch in the SATA's now so I'll update you shortly. Even ran migration assistant on the USB-C rear in record time! 2TB done inside an hour - now you know how long MA normally takes, it waits around for ages checking things - its not really so much hard drive/net speed - its processing/checking off things. This was real quick.

 

8K Update: Managed to get the Dell 8K monitor working in 8K Catalina 10.15.5 with ResXtreme. My god it was soooo tiny that I had to scale.

are not informed well😀

Audio is working well in latest Catalina and it is not flr patch related

Yeah that was a few days ago. I know you and Pavo have been looking into audio issues together. I saw he had it working initially when he streamed live but there were crackling issues, I'm sure you both have sorted it by now. You've both been working on it, I understand. 🙂

[fabiosun]

@Driftwood Apple has worked for me 🙂

catalina 10.15.5 solved my audio problem and then I have said to Pavo this and also him reached my same situation with his trx40 system (audio perfect but jack detection problematic)

Now I think he is trying with Unraid and see if there could be the same or better.

For now I stay in Proxmox. system is production ready and no so much time to invest to learn Unraid

Thats interesting. 8K worked for me with the new Cat.

 

@fabiosun what about USB - all working? NO lag?

@fabiosun what about USB - all working? NO lag?

for me Catalina is working well as high sierra if I consider USB job

I pass all controllers less audio controller (xx:00.4)

In Catalina usb is threated differently and USB drivers work as they do in a window VM (as bare metal), in High Sierra driver is old and for now I can use only USB 2.0 device.

for both no lag at all

Pay attention (for lag stuff) if you have some WIFI/BT which need usb power)..I haven't ..but it is problematic if you have

2 x Radeon viis (xfx). Only the first one controlling OS and Display, second one for encoding/Davinci/fcpx

What about buying a GT710 for Display output and use the two Radeon VIIs for compute tasks in parallel?

and do you think a 710 gt could remote well that 8k display?

magaraaaa 🙂

PS the problem is also we are using a complex system to boot..and adding a third gfx could be problematic...

Following comments are FYI and have no immediate direct bearing on this build.

 

I'm researching various Linux distributions and came across this news:

Linus Torvalds has switched to using an MSI TRX40 Creator + 3970X, where the build is described here. Linus describes here using Linux 5.7-rc7.

This all would suggest that the TRX40 platform will have increasingly better Linux support.

 

I left Windows 10 running over night and zero issues, even after running many different stress tests. That led me to look for issues affecting Linux but not Windows:  Core 6 issues can do this. But after making those changes described here in BIOS (changing 'Typical current idle', from 'Auto' or 'Low current idle'), the same error messages and kernel panel with shutdown happened under Proxmox. So no fix for my CPU.

Hi, maybe I am missing something...are you sure of this picture above?

In your pdf on your GitHub there are differences.. 🙂and as it is should not boot (gfx is not there)

with our trx40 is better to pass entire usb controllers and not single device..single device may loose many functionality

 

good catch i will update this! I had the GTX980 in slot 1 and Radeon VII in slot 3. After this I removed the GTX980 and put the Radeon in slot 1 so indeed this is le dump. 🤦🏼‍♂️

I suspected that I might have to do this the other day when talking to Pavo. But after talking, I decided first to get the rear ASMedia USB controller passed through on 44:00 so I was able to use the rear 3.2 gen 2 port - couldn't use it before I passed it which is strange. So are you saying if you remove ALL USB controllers that the rear 3.2 gen 2 USB C connector works without passthrough? Ive actually ordered a Qnap TR4 NAS/Singles USB-C 3.2 gen 1box to stick my spinners in, which is 10Gbs. They also have this https://www.qnap.com/en-uk/product/tl-d800c coming out imminently giving support for USB 3.2 gen 2x2 speeds (20Gbs 8 drive box).

 

So I might try and go back and un-passthrough the USB controllers/ports in my current config. And use the rear USB C too.

Also I've got plenty of USB-C multi-port adapters from my MBP lappie so all is cool.

Good confirmation, thanks Rox67er.

almost, I DO pass the usb-c through.

@Rox67er The two ASRock Creator SATA controllers (8 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s) which, out of the two FCH address - 48:00 & 49:00 - is the first four?

 

The reason I ask is I forget if you are booting proxmox from a SATA port or USB? 

 

I currently have Proxmox booting off SATA port 1 on a SSD.

 

 Im tempted to go USB (as @fabiosun has successfully done)  but would prefer to boot with SATA from inside the box like Im doing. I currently don't passthrough either of the SATA controllers. I don't mind losing half the controllers to proxmox ssd, but which controller is using which IDs? Is 48:00 ports 1 - 4 ? And 49:00 Ports 5 - 8?

 

I could do with using one of the controllers I guess.

 

i’m not 100% sure but think port 17 and 16 are on 49:00, 14 and 15 are on 48:00. I use an external ssd for proxmox on one of the usb ports next to the ps2 connector.

Do you run any kext or other files for usb in opencore?

OT (about Unraid)

to test I have built an Unraid test OSX VM, I did to verify if in there I have a better HighSierra support..it is not 🙂

I stay in proxmox 🙂

OT (about Unraid)

to test I have built an Unraid test OSX VM, I did to verify if in there I have a better HighSierra support..it is not 🙂

 

So Unraid isn't going to be specifically any better than Proxmox on these trx40 Mobo chips too?

 

My system is stable but am probably going to use a USB stick to boot it now.

 

@All is there a quick way to back up my working  4gb sized ssd proxmox boot to a bootable USB?

 

If so, please type FULL & EXACT details below.

 

This will help anyone following this thread 

Thanks

No, for me no

Maybe we will see soon some improvement if Linus Torvald has a trx40 PC as we can see from link posted before by IGPU

 

If your system is stable why do you want to change it?

 

Then, if you did all correctly you can install in about 5 minute Proxmox on USB (I am saying again to use Asmedia 3.2 type back port)

And then copy on new installation all files you modify in your actual (and working) Proxmox

to summarise:

1)backup your VM config
2)backup kvm.conf, grub, vfio.conf, blacklist.conf and modules

3) backup your modified deb files and hook script if you use them

4) disconnect your proxmox disk and install on a new usb one (I use an external case for a Samsung 840 pro ssd sized 240 Gb)

5) install proxmox

6) copy all your previously backupped files and launch all terminal command you need to reconfigure your new proxmox installation

If you use a passed disk to boot in osx that's all

if you use some vm disk, maybe you have to recreate efi and you have to add a step after my point 3) as 3bis) backup all your vm disk files

 

more or less these could be a way you can proceed..and in the worst case you have also your previous Proxmox disk you can reconnect back 🙂

 

I have not studied at all some properties of web interface , I think is also possible to transfer all using internal web interface tools..

I spent most of yesterday trying to get various Linux distros to install (Redhat, Mint, et al). They all crashed during install (to a new SATA SSD). I finally got ArcoLinux to install. I then ran it all night. Completely stable, just like Windows 10 on the problematic CPU (replacement has not yet arrived).

 

ArcoLinux is based on Arch Linux (which is what I referenced in above post as being the latest, but it is very difficult to install). ArcoLinux has almost the latest Linux kernel, like Arch Linux. During installation ArcoLinux asks if you want to install microcode for Intel or AMD. I chose to install for AMD (? version). I don't know if just because the latest Linux kernel, that supports latest equipment, or if the AMD microcode helps, but in any event, this Linux machine is stable.

 

What I still don't understand is why my particular CPU was originally working on Proxmox but then gradually became unstable to the point that I couldn't run Proxmox (and I've tried their latest v6.2).

 

Now, I'm looking into adding KVM and QEMU to ArcoLinux.

I haven't used any of the SATA ports yet. So Im thinking of passing them all through like yours. Probably going to put a few ssds on the SATAs as it seems a shame to waste them.

 

My 8Tb\10Tb 'spinners' are on an external QNAP TR04 box thru the Asmedia USB port.

 

The only drive currently on the SATA port 1 is the Proxmox Host.

I guess I could just move the Proxmox host ssd on SATA port 1 and attach it to the rear usb?

yes i did in this way

i have Proxmox on sata ssd disk and sata was not passable easily
connect the same disk on asmedia usb

all went fine

Really super interested to see how you get on with ArcoLinux. July 2019, I found any interesting article on the best recommended Linux Distro for creating music content  and Graphic Design for Artists. In the article, ArcoLinux was highly praised for super stability. The guy who wrote the article has used Linux, on and off since 1999. For audio production, he is running Reaper DAW on ArcoLinux. My main reason for wanting to go with an AMD 3970/ TRX40 OSX Hackintosh rig was ideally, to hopefully efficiently run Acustica Audio Plugins on a Reaper DAW. Acustica Audio plugins are notoriously heavy on CPU, but Reaper seems to be the DAW of choice to run AA Plugins more efficiently. Really hoping ArcoLinux performs well in your VM.
