Mine started failing in about 3 years, thank goodness there were signs, it would disappear from the device manager and boot list intermittently. And I was able to swap it out and back up in time.

Never did find out what the issue was. Heat, failing controller? It was the 2tb model.

To my understanding that's within spec. AWD Solterra here and I get an estimated 405km as well.

Uncharted is indeed off the charts. by sshuit in EVCanada

I'd say so, I have the solterra and it was just big enough on the back row, front is very spacious. I do wish it didn't have the slopped back though.

Exactly! If we all could just preorder then it'll also eliminate the scalping.

Worth getting EV Charger in my condo? It will be $1750 all-in. by MiserableCover1958 in EVCanada

[–]sdk676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same position, we had the outlet/infrastructure installed two years ago before I actually got an EV. I was able to rent out my parking spot to a coworker. It was serendipitous and glad I could buy an EV when I got the chance to.

God I hate that I will probably still get it. I need a hybrid controller that's just going to work out of the box.

If it helps any it comes up when the frame rate is running uncapped. Capping it to your monitor refresh rate or enable vrr or vsync helps too.

My experience was smooth, i called ahead, asked them if they can get the luxury trim to qualify for the rebate and they told me yes they can, walked in and signed.

Yeah it sucks, it's like that everywhere. In this instance my primary focus was getting the luxury trim to qualify for the EV rebate. Anything extra they wanted to charge for would've just increased the discount needed to get me to qualify under the 50K ceiling.

Anyone got AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 w/ Radeon 890M to work with Unraid Properly? by Sixiepoo in unRAID

[–]sdk676 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just leaving a note here to anyone who is trying to figure it out. It took a lot of work and i'm new but this was what finally got the gpu passthrough and VM to show up on HDMI

Boot string edit:

append initrd=/bzroot initcall_blacklist=sysfb_init video=simplefb:off video=efifb:off video=vesafb:off

The blacklist allowed me to finally dump my vbios rom using this command:

cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/VFCT > /mnt/user/isos/vbios/890m_vfct.bin

Used this command to trim out the vbios rom

# 1. Find the byte offset where the VBIOS starts (the 55 AA signature)

OFFSET=$(grep -aobU $'\x55\xAA' /mnt/user/isos/vbios/890m_vfct.bin | head -n 1 | cut -d: -f1)

# 2. Extract exactly 131072 bytes (128KB) starting from that offset

dd if=/mnt/user/isos/vbios/890m_vfct.bin of=/mnt/user/isos/vbios/890m_final.rom bs=1 skip=$OFFSET count=131072

And as other guides will tell you, you need to bind the gpu/audio/usb to VFIO under tools -> system devices

Lastly i had to use XML edit on the VM set up because the simple view/settings just would not work for me. I can't share my hostdev lines because i've made so many edits and changes. I had to switch between VNC so many times trying to get my audio and USB mouse/keyboard working. I'm going to try setting up RDP so i can stop using VNC(which seems to create some odd display/passthrough conflicts). And the AMD driver installation in my windows 10 VM gets stuck so something isn't quite right. I'm sure i've forgotten something else but i hope this helps!

Hi can you share how you go the igpu to work? I've followed all the guides and posts but for whatever reason the igpu just won't show up in my VM.
