Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
1. Feature Overview:
a) Name of feature:
NVidia Tesla GPU's
b) Feature Description:
The kernel vgaarb is not recognizing the Tesla GPU's:
vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
I don't know if this is affecting anything, as X faults with:
(EE) Peppercon AG Multidevice: failed to initialize for relative axes.
(EE) Peppercon AG Multidevice: failed to initialize for relative axes.
2. Feature Details:
a) Architectures:
64-bit Intel EM64T
b) Bugzilla Dependencies:
none
c) Drivers or hardware dependencies:
Tesla GPU
d) Upstream acceptance information:
In progress.
e) External links:
to be supplied
f) Severity (H,M,L):
High (required for Hardware Enablement)
g) Feature Needed by:
Needed for UV2 (Early to Mid 2012).
3. Business Justification:
a) Why is this feature needed?
Increasing interest in GPU based HPC
b) What hardware does this enable?
Tesla GPU's
c) Business impact?
Existing customers wanting to switch to RHEL.
d) Other business drivers:

Please attach lspci -vnn from this machine, we should be able to quash that message but I'd like to be sure what kind of case provokes it.

It's unlikely, though not impossible, that this is the actual cause of the fault. Please also attach the Xorg.0.log from the failure case.

Mike,
Can you see this BZ? If so, can you respond to his request?
Hi,
Yes, I can and will gather this up as soon as practical.
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Mike,
could you please add info requested by Adam?
Since we have no Tesla GPU's in-house, will SGI be able to check HW enablement? May I add OtherQA keyword?
If this is still an issue, please attach the information requested in comment #2.
