[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1696231] Re: amdgpu needed blacklisting of radeon module
Firstly, AMD has released amdgpu-pro 18.10 (for rhel and supports Ubuntu 16.04.4): https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-for- Linux-Release-Notes.aspx Download Links are on the site. Secondly, I'm still having the DRM version issue, and I have come across a post on reddit about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/vulkan/comments/4idouk/problem_with_vulkan_on_amd_linux/ More specifically the comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vulkan/comments/4idouk/problem_with_vulkan_on_amd_linux/d2xc4ta/ where the issue seems to have to do with the driver that's in use by linux (radeon) rather than amdgpu: amdgpu has version 3.1.0: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/32cf95db22d49cf4a3b421ba9fd156bb5f920ebb/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_drv.c#L49-L56 and radeon has version 2.43: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/32cf95db22d49cf4a3b421ba9fd156bb5f920ebb/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_drv.c#L95-L99 In Addition, the reddit user talks about having `CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK=y` set to 'y' to enable support for the GPU in amdgpu driver (this requires manually compiling the linux kernel, as the default has this setting off). You can check if your currently running kernel has this option: grep CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK /boot/config* And checking what driver is actually in use by linux: lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' So the question is how to get the amdgpu driver to load in place of radeon ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696231 Title: amdgpu needed blacklisting of radeon module Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have installed a new Radeon card alongside the old one: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

After some searching I found that I should blacklist the radeon module to get the amdgpu module working, and indeed adding this file fixed it: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-radeon.conf # cannot load both amdgpu and radeon blacklist radeon Then: sudo update-initramfs -u -k all Another workaround is to remove the old graphics card, that made booting work again. I think there is a bug here though: X shouldn't crash: it should be able to use at least one of the two graphics card drivers, and the text console should still be operational even if it failed to initialize graphical mode, so that the user can log in, investigate and fix things from a local console, instead of relying on fixing things over SSH.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1696231] Re: amdgpu needed blacklisting of radeon module
** Attachment added: "dmesg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1696231/+attachment/4890287/+files/dmesg ** Information type changed from Private to Public -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696231 Title: amdgpu needed blacklisting of radeon module Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have installed a new Radeon card alongside the old one: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Baffin [Polaris11] (rev cf) 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV730 PRO [Radeon HD 4650] Booted Ubuntu, and the console just froze when switching to graphics mode. I was not able to switch consoles with ctrl+alt+f1/ctrl+alt+f2, despite having NAutoVTs=6 in /etc/systemd/logind.conf. I could login via SSH, but all I could see is that X wasn't able to find any screens, but without any clues why: [11.142] (EE) No devices detected. Finally when running X -configure as root I got the following helpful log message before crashing: amdgpu_device_initialize: DRM version is 2.49.0 but this driver is only compatible with 3.x.x. After some searching I found that I should blacklist the radeon module to get the amdgpu module working, and indeed adding this file fixed it: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-radeon.conf # cannot load both amdgpu and radeon blacklist radeon Then: sudo update-initramfs -u -k all Another workaround is to remove the old graphics card, that made booting work again.
