Solved Kernel panic on RTX 5060 Ti (16GB)

B

bumpyhead

Hi folks,

Just got a 5060 Ti, plugged into the system, and installed the drivers, including
Code: 
nvidia-driver-580.105.08       NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering
nvidia-drm-61-kmod-580.105.08.1403000 NVIDIA DRM Kernel Module
nvidia-kmod-580.105.08.1403000 kmod part of NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering
In /boot/loader.conf, I have these lines
Code: 
nvidia_load="YES"
nvidia-modset_load="YES"
In /etc/rc.conf, I have these lines
Code: 
kld_list="cuse nvidia-modeset nvidia"
When the system boots, it gives a panic screen with "fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode". See attached image.
Now I have to unplug the power of the graphic card and use the iGPU instead. Is there an easy fix? Thanks in advance!

The panic is due to the kernel module being loaded in both /boot/loader.conf and /etc/rc.conf. I put these lines only in rc.conf, and now the system can boot, with nvidia modules loaded.

However I cannot start X. When I try to start X, the system gives a black screen with a tiny white rectangle on the top-left corner, and completely freezes.

Below are /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
Code: 
Section "Device"
  Identifier "NVIDIA Card"
  Driver "nvidia"
  BusID     "PCI:1:0:0"
  Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "true"
  Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"

You don't need to install graphics/nvidia-drm-61-kmod. You don't appear to have enabled it either.

Thank you for your reply. I removed nvidia-drm-* but the issue remains. I am using 14.3-RELEASE-p5 generic kernel. If you could kindly help have a look, that would be great.

Nothing out of the ordinary here. Except missing the monitor identification.

Might be a silly question, but did you actually hook up the monitor to the graphics card's output? Because it sounds like it's still connected to the onboard graphics.

Yes, I did! the monitor is hooked into the graphic card's output. Neither HDMI or DP works. I also tried single/dual monitors. None of these works.

When startx, it just shows a black screen with a keyboard cursor on the top-left, and have to hard reboot.

Odd, because your Xorg log doesn't seem to detect anything. It should look something like this (this is an old system, with an old NVidia driver, but the output will look similar):

Do you have another system? Laptop perhaps? You can use it to remotely login and shutdown/restart the machine cleanly. Or check your BIOS/UEFI settings regarding the power button, make sure it's set to "delayed" instead of "instant" off. Then you can simply tap the power button and the system will cleanly shutdown.
 
What happenes if you add hw.nvidia.registry.EnableGpuFirmware=1 in your /boot/loader.conf and restart your computer?

At least some of RTX5xxx GPUs are known not to work without GSP enabled and the above is the configuration to forcibly enable it.

This is documented in pkg-message.in of x11/nvidia-driver which should be displayed when it is installed.

Why disabled by default is because enabling GSP is reported to results in failure on suspend/resume, thus, disbled by default and should work fine for pre-RTX5xxx GPUs.

And why needed to set in /boot/loader.conf is because it MUST be already set when driver kmods are loaded. Setting in /etc/sysctl.conf could result in race conditions.

Yes, it works! I put these two lines in /boot/loader.conf
Code: 
hw.nvidia.registry.EnableGpuFirmware=1
hw.nvidiadrm.modset=1
Now I can startx and use my dual monitor set-up. I have marked the problem as "solved".

It is weird, however, that the second command seems useless.
Code: 
# sysctl -a | grep -i hw.nvidia | grep modeset
hw.nvidiadrm.modeset: 0

Remaining issue for me is hyprland stopped work (seems driver lacks KMS support). Below are log-files. Hope I could figure it out on my way or upgrading to 15.0 would help.
Code: 
[LOG] [AQ] drm: Enumerated device /dev/dri/card0
[LOG] [AQ] libseat: Device /dev/dri/card0 does not support kms
[ERR] [AQ] drm: Skipping device /dev/dri/card0, not a KMS device

The second one is only required when you need graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod[-devel].

Any of graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod[-devel] and corresponding graphics/drm-*-kmod are needed to expose DRM/KMS support.
Install graphics/nvidia-drm-61-kmod (66 and latest doesn't work on 14.3 because 14.3 lacks some LinuxKPI functionalities they need) again.
It would pull in corresponding graphics/drm-61-kmod as its runtime dependency.

You also need to switch "nvidia-modeset nvidia" in your kld_list to nvidia-drm.
nvidia-drm would auto-load required kmods. nvidia-modeset would be auto-loaded, and nvidia-modeset auto-loads nvidia.

And you'll no longer need xorg.conf stuff, as modesetting driver should auto-configure it (this is why graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod[-devel] require corresponding graphics/drm-*-kmod to build / run). Remove (delete or rename not to be picked) your xorg configs you "manually" created if it hurts starting up xorg.

It has been a few days. The system is usable, but not stable.

Every time I boot the machine (with nvida-modeset & nvidia loaded), startx, then the system halts and I need to hard reset.

After the reset, I can boot into the machine, and startx normally. Even if I quit X, and restart X multiple times, it is fine. It seems the system/driver feels refreshed after a hard-reset.

Then, if I reboot normally, and startx will crash again.

I tried to enable/disable nvidia-drm, and it won't help. I also tried to load nvida-modeset through /boot/loader.conf, then the kernel just panic at startup.

Well, I am accepting it as of now, because I don't need to reboot a lot. Hopefully, upgrading to 15.0 would fix this.
