printf "Welcome to the VFIO enabler script!

|
|
|
The setup done by this script is quite complex and is prone to human error or hardware incompatibilities.
|
|
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to make a backup/snapshot of your system using something like timeshift or snapper before starting.
|
|
|
|
Press ENTER to continue once you have made a backup of your system.

printf "This script assumes a few things:
|
|
* You have already enabled IOMMU, VT-d and/or AMD-v inside your UEFI/BIOS advanced settings.
|
|
* You are comfortable with navigating and changing settings in your UEFI/BIOS.
|
|
* You know how edit your bootloader configuration.
|
|
* Your Linux distribution is an EFI installation (important to get VFIO working).
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If your computer no longer fully shut down after enabling IOMMU, then there is possibly a bug
|
|
with your motherboard and a piece of hardware in your system, it only prevents you from using
|
|
the system in a headless mode and is otherwise just an annoying quirk with IOMMU on some boards.
|
|
|
|
This is a list of prerequisites you will be needing before starting with VFIO:
|
|
* 2 GPUs (iGPU/APU included)
|
|
* A \"ghost display\" dummy plug for your second graphic card.
|
|
* If you are planning to use the inegrated GPU on your CPU, make sure your monitor is connected to it before continuing.
|
|
* Preferably a motherboard verified to work with IOMMU and with good IOMMU groups.
|

https://reddit.com/r/vfio is a good resource for this info.
