KLICK

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="amdgpu" but I have to run this command in the terminal before updating the kernel and then updating or I have to put it elsewhere I don't understand ...

As for the Kernel, now having the version with the patch you are talking about,(5.5.0.1 or 5.4.0.2) how should we behave in front of the official updates that for example periodically releases Fedora? Do they affect our patched kernel? If so what should we do?

Applications and Porting / Software and Games for GPU new generation

« on: January 05, 2020, 05:22:49 pm »

Hello to the whole forum, now that we have support for the new AMD Navi10 GPUs, I was wondering with which software in particular, in your opinion it is possible to exploit them a little ... I don't know much currently of the most advanced Power software, also in the gaming field, while I know there are games of a certain thickness for Linux X86, I don't know anything about what could be on Power. Of course there won't be all there is on X86 I guess but I think that in any case something interesting will be there for us too ...

General CPU Discussion / Waiting for the new Power 9

« on: January 05, 2020, 03:11:46 pm »

Well guys, having started 2020 I can't help thinking about IBM and its programs. It has already been mentioned on Twitter but obviously the forum is now the most suitable place to talk in depth about these topics and therefore I would say to start talking about this fantastic new Power 9 processor which however does not yet have a proper name but a way to define it is AXON. There is a nice article about this new series of Power 9, it is said that the increase in power and bandwidth is remarkable, it is also known by now that IBM still intends to exploit Power 9 because there is no reason to switch to Power 10 as Power 9 still has a lot to offer and because the competition is not running too much and therefore you can still focus a lot on Power 9. The production process will still be on the 14th of GF, which then is none other than that of IBM when it still had the production plant which is now precisely owned by GF. I read that it is very refined to the point that it can be compared to TSMC 7, I even know that GF sued TSMC for patent infringement of their current 14-owner process, from where TSMC then pulled out the current 7. .. The agreement between IBM and GF still has a few years of validity, so also for this reason and for the fact that the 14 process is very advanced and current, I think IBM still has a lot to power use on the POWER 9.
So I hope so much to to see something concrete within the year, I am sure that we will see some beautiful ones ... FORCE POWER ALWAYS!

The problem of the video that is sometimes missing on HDMI I mentioned this to Raptor myself a while ago, I am aware of the problem and are working to resolve it. When the BMC firmware update is released, the problem will be resolved, we just have to wait for it to come out ... I also often have this problem because in the evening I disconnect the computer from the power supply to avoid power surges or similar things.

Well guys, another personal success, after weeks of errors and various problems, I finally managed to install the modified Merklot 5.5.0.1 kernel as well ... finally ...! 😁
Special thanks to Everyone! Thanks!

Sorry guys, now that we have the modified Kernel, when the official updates of Fedora or any other system arrive, those of the Kernel will also arrive, Fedora are among those that update the most kernels. How should one behave at this point? Updating directly could annoy our modified Kernel, I suppose, so what should we do in this case?

YES there will be maybe also the wording of the drivers which was not exact but consider that I got the wording exactly from the output of the grep command | VGA and I reported it on the Xorg file. The PCI bus was correct, I had put 3 too, Raptor had corrected it when I showed him the file. Other I do not know what could have been wrong. In any case we have solved and thank MPC and all for the collaboration. Sew one day Merklort returns to answer I will ask him why, according to him, despite the procedure I was successful on the other hardisk, I still don't have the kernel installed with the path ... It is very strange because when I installed everything that was missing from the system and compiled and installed the kernel correctly from what I saw, I don't understand there must be something in the last few steps that must be reviewed ...

And hello Classic, happy new year, I installed the Kernel 5.4.0.2 ready, then I put the Xorg file that gave me MPC which was correct compared to mine and the graphics card started.  My problem was apparently that I deleted the comments in the Xorg file that should be left instead.  I thought that they only served to make you understand how to correctly compile the file and instead I was wrong.  If you need I place the Xorg file that I put to make the card work.  Kernel 5.4.0.2 is what Merklot posted on page 5 of this discussion and should be very similar to that posted by his friend kmarek whom I also thank for his valuable collaboration.  Now I have to solve the problem of the sound card but I have the impression that I will have to wait for them because nobody seems to know anything unfortunately ...

guys I finally solved everything, a special thanks to the friend MPC for his very precious help, he says no but he is much ahead of me with Linux and it shows. Great MPC, thank you all! As a kernel I am using the one posted by Merklot ready and it seems that it works well ...

Hi MPC, happy new year to you and to the whole forum, I have already done what the guide says, as you see above I have reported what the guide says and I showed it to Raptor as well, the problem is which doesn't work unfortunately ... Even if I try to configure the graphical modes, it goes into lockout on restart. I don't know why but there is a problem with the Xorg files, it doesn't read them to me, I sent my Xorg.log.0 file to Raptor to see if they can understand what problem I have ... Listen about do you think the kernel because after the procedure I can't see version 5.5.1 as you and the others see it? It seems that everything went well and yet if I do neofetch it tells me that I still have Kernel 5.3.16 ... Do you have any idea what is missing?

Understdood, in any case I installed what Merklot posted, then i'm also trying complete the session of the guide that always posted Merklot to male the Kernel modification by yourself. After all the procedure it still gives me the 5.3.16 Kernel and it's strange because It seems that everything is going we'll, I don't understand why I don't see it in the neofetch command, the modified kernel. In any case I have problems configuring starting the GPU, i'm also asking Raptor why It doesn't work as soon as I insert the configuration file xorg.conf The system hangs and I have to reboot in server mode to remove It... I don't understand... The file is this:

wow congratulations to you you have done a great job. But listen to a question, what difference is there in your opinion between yours and the one already made published by Merklot on the previous pages, he has both published his with the various steps, and the one already made that you can download from the site and install. ..

so guys, I tried to understand how to activate this graphics card through Xorg, meanwhile I learned that on Fedora there is no Xorg file like on Ubuntu or Debian and that therefore it must be created manually. I used gedit and modified everything to look like this. Now before saving I would like to understand if it is composed correctly or I have to modify something. Above I also posted the result of the grep command in such a way as to make you account for the data that are available to compose this Xorg file ... What do you think? What should be changed in case to be sure it works?

MPC looks at this, I did all the final steps, it doesn't give me errors but when checking the kernel version it still gives me 5.3.16 ... Where do you think the error is? I guess I didn't understand maybe how to do the last steps ...
