Public bug reported:
I got a blank screen when installing Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS desktop on AMD
system with MI300 accelerator. I was able to deploy Ubuntu successfully
if I boot the installer with an added kernel boot parameter "nomodeset"
in the GRUB menu as shown below.
GNU GRUB version 2.12
--------------------------------------------------------------
setparams 'Try or 'Install ubuntu'
set gfxpayload=keep
linux /casper/vmlinux --- quiet splash nomodeset
initrd /casper/initrd
--------------------------------------------------------------
Workaround:
1. During installation, add kernel boot nomodeset
Result: Will be able to install Ubuntu desktop
2. However, after install it will still not bootup normally. Need to add again
nomodeset kernel boot param
3. To add kernel boot parameters in Ubuntu 22.04 at the command line, you can
do the following:
- Log in to the system and open a terminal window
- Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the line that starts with
"GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT"
- Add parameters to the text inside the double-quotes after the words
"quiet splash"
- Click the Save button and close the editor window
- In the terminal window, enter the command sudo update-grub
- Restart the system
Take note:
This symptom does not manifest on Ubuntu server based installation.
