PostPosted: Wed Nov 08, 2017 11:38 pm    Post subject: AMDGPU causes boot to fail with KMS enabled Reply with quote

I am attempting to get the amdgpu drivers working for an RX470, and have included the appropriate bins in the kernel, as per the wiki. However, when booting with KMS, the boot fails when the system attempts to load amdgpu. nomodeset allows the system to boot but is obviously not an ideal solution.
the dmesg log shows:
Code:

[    0.876121] [drm] amdgpu kernel modesetting enabled.

I have seen other posts about the mc firmware failing, but they all pointed to getting a file which I am not missing via a package which no longer exists.

my kernel config: https://pastebin.com/udwkUi8k

If there is any other info I should provide, please let me know.

Try to change this.

from

to
Code:

And search for

Code:
CONFIG_HSA_AMD

You really have a RX 470?
Then change to only the two driver:
Code:
VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu radeonsi"

Nothing else.

I can't seem to find the option for HSA kernel driver for AMD GPU devices. My menuconfig goes straight from Display Interface Bridges to DRM Support for Hililicon Hibmc.

Oh, and no keyboard, no mouse, only

I changed both variables (they were the defaults for the kde/systemd profile), still no dice.

I can't seem to find the option for HSA kernel driver for AMD GPU devices. My menuconfig goes straight from Display Interface Bridges to DRM Support for Hililicon Hibmc.


Use the "z" key to open the submenus.

In the firmware directory are 14 *.bin files. You only have 13 in use.

Doing that shows the option, but I am unable to select it. I also cannot find the bool values help says it depends on.

Those 13 were the ones listed on the wiki, adding the last one didn't help and made x unable to launch in nomodeset.

To make matters a bit more confusing, my computer booted without issue, amdgpu loaded fine. After rebooting without changing a single thing, back to the same state.

Why do you use the kernel option "nomodeset". Have you installed a fbsplash or playmouth theme?
It is better to temporarily remove the splash and the option until the driver works.

And please excuse me. I forgot to say that after the change in make.conf ...

Thanatos2996,

Put your dmesg onto a pastebin site - all of it.
Put your kernel .config onte a pastebin site too.

I've just got an RX 460 after using nVidia for many years.

I do not use plymouth or any other splash screen. I have been using nomodeset because the crash occurs upon kernel modesetting. Nomodeset allows me to boot the machine.

There is no longer a log under /var/log/dmesg for some reason, and I can't run dmesg without the system being in nomodeset. Is there a setting I need to enable for it to log?

Hi,
I saw in your above short .config that uevent helper is set. That needs to be corrected.

In Generic Driver Options, do not set the "Support for uevent helper".

Code:
                                                    [ ] Support for uevent helper                                                                                         │ │

And be so kind and do what NeddySeagoon wrote.

Thanks for pointing out that config issue.

There is still nothing in /var/log/dmesg, so I have no way to get dmesg for when the crash occurs, but the nomodeset dmesg is: https://pastebin.com/jtBJe5wY

Thanatos2996,

Code:
[    0.875184] [drm:amdgpu_init] *ERROR* VGACON disables amdgpu kernel modesetting.


That will be a pointer to your kernel. Please pastebin your entire kernel .config file.

You keep saying the system crashes when you do not use nomodeset. Please describe the symptoms that lead you to this conclusion. Does the kernel panic? Does it instantly reboot? What, if anything, is written to the serial console before the system crashes?

I'm not familiar with intel machines. In the logs from the pastebin were still several question marks for me. Especially with the file systems ext3 and ext4.

There are many discussions about the above error on the internet. But still no solution.

So I think KMS needs over x11 and GRUB helping rules.

customize the 10-device.conf.
tux ~ # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-device.conf
Code:
Section "Device"
   Identifier  "AMD Radeon RX4xx (Island POLARIS10)"
   Driver      "amdgpu"
   BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
   Option      "DRI"         "2"
   Option      "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection


Less is more for GRUB. A short grub config is better than a long one. Grub himself is looking for everything else.
Make sure you do not have nomodeset or vga= as the kernel parameter, because amdgpu requires KMS.

tux ~ # cat /etc/default/grub | grep "^[^#]"
Code:
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=""
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="${GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX}real_root=/dev/sdaX rootfstype=ext4 init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd "
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
GRUB_TERMINAL="gfxterm"
GRUB_GFXMODE="auto"
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

And of course, create a new grub.cfg.

On the KMS phase of the boot, the screen goes black. If all goes well, it should change the resolution and continue booting as normal. This does happen rarely, but generally it stays black. There seems to be no response from the keyboard (Pressing Caps/NumLock does not light up the indicators), and the computer never connects to the network. Without keyboard or network I have no way to interact with the machine, though I can try and hook up a monitor to the serial port and see if it dumps anything there.
