I performed a full 18.10 install and my A315-41 with Ryzen 3 2200U
performed flawlessly. Everything works out of the box, except for
graphical performance.

Everything I am doing on the desktop has a little lag and it seems to me
that CPU load is rising quickly already with simple tasks on the
desktop. Is it possible that there is software rendering taking place?
How would I find out? According to glxinfo, direct rendering is in
effect.

Would it be the right action to install AMDGPU Pro driver? Or is there
any other chance to make this piece of hardware sprint away?

Title:
  Acer Aspire A315 IOAPIC failure on Ubuntu 18.04, kernel hangs, can't
  load, kernel freeze  (AMD Ryzen 5/Radeon/Raven) / AMDGPU Hybrid crash

Status in amd:
  Fix Released

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  CPU: Ryzen 5 2500U
  VGA: Radeon 535
  Notebook: Acer Aspire A315

  This is a brand new notebook on the market with Ryzen 5/Radeon. 
  The default kernel of Ubuntu(18.04) hangs at loading with message:

  tsc: Refined TSC clocksource calibration: 1996.250 MHz
  clocksource: tsc: mask: 0xffffffffffffffff max_cycles: (...), max_idle_ns: 
(...) 
  Soft lockup

  Using pci=noacpi kernel parameter kernel loads without any problem but
  my notebook produces more heat than on Win10. If I know right Acer
  notebooks need ACPI to the correct power management.

  The same thing happens on mainline 4.17,4.18rc1-2.
  BIOS upgrade to the latest version: 1.08 hasn't helped

  This problem has been reported upstream:
  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200087

  The latest correctly working kernel was 4.13.* but the heat problem
  was present with this too.
