Thanks for the instruction.

Wondering if you could provide the instance patch for version 1.6.x too?

I can confirm this issue also occur on Void Linux 5.8. So it is definitely regressed upstream

Blackbird / What is the PWR I2C header?

« on: August 30, 2020, 03:40:54 am »

There is a 5 pin header labelled as PWR I2C on the motherboard but there is no mentioning what it is about in the manual doc. Could someone please shed some light on that for me? Many thanks in advance

Blackbird / [amdgpu] [Fiji] Fedora 32 Linux kernel 5.7.x crashes

« on: August 27, 2020, 11:50:42 pm »

Wondering if anyone has bumped into the issue with amdgpu crashing the kernel upon booting up? I am trying to isolate if this issue occurs to all radeon gpu or not.... or could it be related to something else.

I've reported the issue at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1855976 and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1293

Many thanks in advance

P/S: My card is Radeon R9 Nano and the old kernel 5.6 works correctly.

** UPDATE **

I manage to get the card working by adding `amdgpu.dc=0` to the kernel parameter. Verified with 5.7.0

However yet there is likely another regression with kernel 5.8.x and 5.9.x because the driver crashes instantly upon loading up.

** UPDATE **

Kernel 5.8, 5.9 and 5.11 runs perfectly if the kernel is compiled with 4K pages

** UPDATE **

Kernel 5.10.5 to 5.10.24 runs perfectly with either 64K or 4K pages! So if you are on FC33, you don't have to do anything, it would just work!
FYI Fedora 33 skips 5.10.24 to jump straight to 5.11.7. If you are looking for the F33 RPMs for the 5.10.x series, check out my fork at https://github.com/runlevel5/fedora-linux-kernel/releases/tag/5.10.24.f33

** UPDATE **

Kernel 5.11.12 or older (64K pages) still suffers the same issue. Please make sure you use 5.11.12 or newer

Blackbird / [SELL] 2 x 8GB DDR4 ECC stock RAM

« on: July 03, 2020, 02:19:07 am »

I am selling 2 x 8GB PC4-2666V RAM (MTA9ASF1G72PZ-2G6D1QG) which is the stock RAM option by Raptor CS. Used for around 1 month. In pristine condition.

Bought for $474.00 USD, letting them go for $300 USD.

Pick up and inspection is greatly welcome at VIC 3187 Australia. I could postage to other countries at buyer's expense (relatively cheap).

Please drop me a private message if you are interested.

Are you upgrading to Talos II?

Have you tried asking Raptor to see if they do trade in?

doesn't really matter, it's still better than blowing hot air down only to have it instantly rise up and linger

Yes, it is.

I am going to live with that setup for now. My plan is to find someone locally who could do laser cutting service so I could design some sort of compatible adaptor to mount water cooler heatsink.
