The nvidia-detect command detects that there are two cards but then fails when it uses the lspci command. Output is shown below:-
-----------------------------------------------
# nvidia-detect
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] [10de:03d0] (rev a2)
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430] [10de:0de1] (rev a1)
Several NVIDIA GPUs detected. Checking only the first.
Usage: lspci [<switches>]
Basic display modes:
-mm Produce machine-readable output (single -m for an obsolete format)
-t Show bus tree
Display options:
-v Be verbose (-vv for very verbose)
-k
.................etc, just sits here never completing...
-----------------------------------------------
Ive found where the problem lies, the lspci command below is given BOTH nvidia card details and cannot deal with this. In my example, "${NV_DEVICES%% *}" returns "00:0d.0 02:00.0"
NVGA=$(lspci -mn -s ${NV_DEVICES%% *} | awk '{ gsub("\"",""); print $3 $4 }')
-----------------------------------------------
Ive done a 'hack job' myself to deal with my situation but its not suitable for the real world.
I think the nvidia-detect script needs to be changed so that it passes just one nvidia device to the lspci command?
