No Audio/Video Drivers loaded on Lenovo ThinkCentre M910x

Post by Bubba » 2023/09/09 20:44:09

Hi community,

I bought two identical Lenovo ThinkCentre M910x devices to be nodes in my homelab Kubernetes cluster. I believe that I installed them exactly the same, but one has audio and video (i915) modules installed, but the other does not. I scoured the BIOS but I could not find any setting that would make a difference. These are headless systems, but I still want to use the graphics and audio.

I feel like there's something that is identifying or not identifying the video and audio devices, but I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated!

worker1 (broken)

Code: Select all

➜  ~ lspci | grep -iE 'vga|Audio'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 (rev 04)
00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH HD Audio
➜  ~ lsmod| grep i915
➜  ~ ls /dev/snd
ls: cannot access '/dev/snd': No such file or directory
worker2 (working)

Code: Select all

➜  ~ lspci | grep -iE 'vga|Audio'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 (rev 04)
00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH HD Audio

on worker1 I can't even modprobe i915 to load the driver

Is the kernel version the same on both? Output of uname -r
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
