Other modules are available and are loaded, like ahci, kvm, or amdgpu? > In kernel 5.3 I get the full specs on those two modules with modinfo. > > Honestly, I'd say that ukuu pulled the kernels from ubuntu archives. > If you have the instructions to pull a working kernel for ubuntu with > vfio manually then let me know. I found https://linuxhint.com/upgrade_kernel_linux_mint/. It looks like ukuu does install packages with modules. I have no experience with Mint nor ukuu. I don't know why vfio might be missing, sorry. They say Mint 20 with a 5.4 kernel will be releases in June. I guess you are just unlucky with the timing of your chosen distribution's release-cycle and its support for your new hardware. > On 5/31/20 3:20 AM, leeste...@pm.me wrote: > > On Sunday, May 31, 2020 5:45 AM, Roger Lawhorn r...@twc.com wrote: > > > > > ok, I got kernel 5.4 booted. > > > They changed how raid0 works and I am one of the few that use raid0. > > > Anyway, vfio-pci is missing in kernel 5.4. > > > Anyone know why? > > > I use a Proxmox/Ubuntu 5.4 kernel and vfio is a module, so I had to add > > > vfio, > > > vfio_iommu_type1, vfio_pci, vfio_virqfd to /etc/modules and > > > update-initramfs -u > > > > Where did you get your kernel?
