So, the 5.4.0-48 error is the same as the one that appears with 5.9 (and the one we see with PCI GPUs): ``` [0.00] Linux version 5.4.0-48-generic (buildd@lcy01-amd64-010) (gcc version 9.3.0 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-10ubuntu2)) #52-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 10 10:58:49 UTC 2020 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-48.52-generic

For some reason I was able to compile v5.4 and v5.5 from torvalds branchs with `make -j$(nproc) deb-pkg` but starting with v5.6 I had to use `make -j$(nproc) bindeb-pkg`, in the end I lacked some modules (like my network driver, that did not helped me) but radeon one was there so tests could have

I built the v5.5.0 version from torvalds's branch and it works. So, if it does not work on Ubuntu's 5.4.0-48 I can assume it's was broken by some Ubuntu custom patch or some backports, making it harder for me to identify what may have introduced the regression. I'll try to find the vanilla

Would it be possible for you to do a kernel bisection? First, find the last -rc kernel works and the first -rc kernel doesn’t work from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ Then, $ sudo apt build-dep linux $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git $

Hi, thank you for your answer and your attention, This issue is confirmed again. 1. 5.10.0-rc1 does not fix the problem introduced in 5.4.0-48 regarding ATI/AMD AGP GPU. 2. PCI GPUs are broken on AMD K8/K10 platform since years but they work on Intel platform, GPU being ATI/AMD or Nvidia

I guess it's caused by commit "drm/radeon: disable AGP by default". Please test latest mainline kernel: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.10-rc1/amd64/ Hopefully it's already fixed. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug
