Description
I made a win2012r2 64bit image with a gpu passthrough, and I installed the NVIDIA driver correctly. Of course, inside the image there is a cloud-base init.
Then I create a new instance with a gpu card passthrough by the image.But when I logged into the vm I found that the gpu card wasn't recognized by the system. The device manger indicated the gpu card was a Video Controller(VGA Compatiable) categorized as unknown devices. Moreover, the device manager showed that system didn't load any drivers for this device.

In setupapi.dev , I found the following errors:

And I found the cloud-base init log like that:

Also, I noticed a bug in launchpad and a bug in microsoft community

So can I think this problem's root cause is sethostname cause reboot make sysprep failed?

Hello,

This seems like a concurrency issue between cloudbase-init, which initiates a reboot while a service is installed by one of the nvidia driver inf directives. This happens when the sysprep's generalize step is configured to not persist the already installed drivers, and when drivers are reloaded, the inf directives for each are also executed (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wind...).

Can you give more details on how did you generate the Windows image (host/tools) and what sysprep unattend.xml have you used?

A possible solution for your problem: if you generate the Windows image on a KVM host, install the drivers and cloudbase-init, then sysprep it with PersistAllDeviceInstalls on true, it should skip the driver reload and service install at the first boot.

Thank you,
Adrian
