Hi, everyone

Here are the components of my build:
- ASRock Rack ROMED8-2T / BIOS P3.40 / BMC 1.24.00
- EPYC 7443P
- 2x Samsung M393A8G40AB2-CWE
- Sabrent Rocket Q4
- Powercolor 6900XT

I am planning to run Proxmox on this, passing the GPU to different OSs.
One of the features that interested me in this motherboard was the onboard graphics, which I was planning to set as primary, to avoid the OS grabbing the PCIe card during boot. In the manual, at page 48, under Chipset Configuration / Advanced, there should be an option OnBrd/Ext VGA Select, to set the Onboard graphics as primary. However, I don?™t have that option! My screen only has one option (at the very top) called Onboard VGA with only Enabled / Disabled options.
Does anyone else have the same BIOS issue as me? How can I set the onboard graphics as primary, so that Proxmox does not grab the PCIe card?

Thanks!

I would fire off a support ticket to ASRock:
https://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp

It sounds like an issue with your BIOS version, either the setting was removed on
a later update than was used when making the user manual or it was moved/hidden
under another section of the BIOS. ASRock's tech support should be able to help
you out. Sometimes they even send users custom BIOS versions that enable missing
features etc. Typically the next update officially launched will then include
these changes/fixes.

Good luck

Thank you!

I have tried downgrading the BIOS to P3.20 and BMC to 01.19.00, but that was even worse - there were no settings for the onboard video at all!
I have opened a support ticket as you suggested on Friday, I hope someone will get in touch soon.

Cheers!
