MauryG5:
wow you are the reviewer of Talospace it's a pleasure to have you here and meet you. In this forum you have the chance to get to know the best Power exponents and all this is fantastic! I asked to give me a hand because I own the Radeon 5700 XT and the guys are giving me a great hand, even the great Tim Pearson himself committed himself and I am immensely grateful to him! I read that Phorinix also learned the news, it went around quickly, great! They are testing the work done, they already work tell me how you can read above, as soon as they finish the tests they will tell me how to activate this beautiful GPU ...

Thankfully I don't have to do this very often, but...

In this case my instincts let me down. I had drilled in my head for so long "don't use floating point in kernel space!" that I didn't even think to look for an x86-only guard around the DCN code. I hope the patches make up for it! ;)
I also have a Navi card coming to play with and help make sure things keep working on the POWER systems in the future.

No worries. I didn't really have the time this weekend to work on fixing the issue, so it was certainly good to have you work on it and on upstreaming the fixes.

Everything seems to be working reasonably well here on Fedora 32/Rawhide. I'll try to do a fresh Fedora 31 install here (making sure everything works) and put together a quick guide on the steps needed to get Navi 10 working in the next day or two.

Ok Meclort thank you, I don't know how do you get Fedora 32 since the 31 was released only now but you're at an advanced level so I don't ask for anything hahaha. A special thank you, of course, to the great Tim who took care of writing this beautiful code, after this, I have another card to activate and I will have to open another treed and see if we can do the same with that and I'm sure you will succeed, meanwhile I wait patiently for the procedures ... you are great anyway!

Hi guys, AMD support replied telling me that 1, they don't support Fedora but the systems they currently support are: Ubuntu 18.04.3
RedHat Enterprise Linux 8.0
RedHat Enterprise Linux 7.6
CentOS 8.0
CentOS 7.6
SLED / SLES 15 SP1
As far as support for the Power architecture is concerned, they do not even know what they are talking about, contacting the producers to understand which Hardware to use ...! All this in Italy in any case, I don't know in America, but this is the current situation in Italy. I told him that someone is already working to bring the drivers in the Power version and I told him that in any case the first drivers they released are not good and therefore to work to improve them. I finally tried to explain to them what Power is but I doubt they immediately understand what I'm talking about ...
I hope in you at this point ...
