Original report
Bug Description
The recent mainline Linux kernel changes to the DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) subsystem in version 7.2 (and inherited by 7.3) have fundamentally broken compatibility with the i915-sriov-dkms out-of-tree module required for Intel Alder Lake and Raptor Lake (UHD 770) GPU virtualization (SR-IOV).
Because the bespoke Omarchy kernel (linux-omarchy 7.2.5) rebases on mainline 7.2, it inherently includes these breaking changes. Any user relying on GPU slicing for virtual machines will experience total initialization failure upon upgrading to this kernel.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install Omarchy with
linux-omarchy 7.2.5(or standard Archlinux 7.2.x). - Attempt to build the
i915-sriov-dkmsmodule via DKMS. - Observe compilation failures due to missing/changed DRM hooks.
- Virtual Functions (VFs) fail to initialize, breaking Proxmox / KVM GPU passthrough.
Expected Behavior
DKMS module compiles successfully, and VFs are instantiated at boot.
Actual Behavior
Module fails to compile. Users are forced to pin an older kernel (e.g. 7.1.9) in their bootloader and ignore kernel updates via pacman.conf to maintain functionality.
Environment
- OS: Omarchy 4.0.4
- Kernel: linux-omarchy 7.2.5 (and mainline 7.2/7.3)
- Hardware: Intel Raptor Lake (e.g., UHD 770)
- Module: i915-sriov-dkms
Proposed Action / Upstream Tracking
This is an upstream issue in the open-source community module, not strictly an Omarchy bug. However, Omarchy users need a clear tracking mechanism.
- Monitor upstream PRs on the
i915-sriov-dkmsrepository for 7.2/7.3 support. - When upstream patches are available, ensure they compile smoothly against Omarchy's bespoke
linux-omarchykernel headers without conflicts from custom Omarchy tweaks. - Consider maintaining a stable
7.1.xLTS kernel option in the official Omarchy repos until the upstream transition to thexedriver or DKMS fixes are finalized for SR-IOV.

## Bug Description The recent mainline Linux kernel changes to the DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) subsystem in version 7.2 (and inherited by 7.3) have fundamentally broken compatibility with the `i915-sriov-dkms` out-of-tree module required for Intel Alder Lake and Raptor Lake (UHD 770) GPU virtualization (SR-IOV). Because the bespoke Omarchy kernel (`linux-omarchy 7.2.5`) rebases on mainline 7.2, it inherently includes these breaking changes. Any user relying on GPU slicing for virtual machines will experience total initialization failure upon upgrading to this kernel. ## Steps to Reproduce 1. Install Omarchy with `linux-omarchy 7.2.5` (or standard Arch `linux 7.2.x`). 2. Attempt to build the `i915-sriov-dkms` module via DKMS. 3. Observe compilation failures due to missing/changed DRM hooks. 4. Virtual Functions (VFs) fail to initialize, breaking Proxmox / KVM GPU passthrough. ## Expected Behavior DKMS module compiles successfully, and VFs are instantiated at boot. ## Actual Behavior Module fails to compile.
