GPU Compute / Accelerators / Re: Wx9100 on Talos II
« on: March 01, 2024, 04:14:31 pm »
With the 2.10 Talos firmware installed and the current amdgpu blobs in the BOOTKERNFW I now get the petitboot screen followed (after a brief drop-out) by the host os GDM login screen.

Yay!

I added the firmware and Petitboot showed on the GPU again, but then the main OS didn't.

So I removed it.

I either needed to change the fastreset setting, or 5.5 initializing the card doesn't play well with 6.6.

I'll try again at some point in the future but as I say I can use VGA or ethernet for now, I'm just happy the card works with the main OS again.

Petitboot doesn’t work with the GPU now, no. I can always use the network console if the screens don’t come up after a minute, or reconnect the VGA to watch the IPL logs.

I finally got the wx9100 working on newer kernels by flashing an empty firmware directory to BOOTKERNFW .

 ;D

I was wondering why that suddenly started working.

Great work!

My 9100 is still cursed. But it does seem to be getting closer to working on anything other than 5.5 4k.  :)

My controller (from Raptor) is:

0001:01:00.0 SATA controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9215 PCIe 2.0 x1 4-port SATA 6 Gb/s Controller (rev 11)

Yes I get ata2 complaining similarly.

Thank you! I’ll try and target that. Have you made any changes to the skiroot kernel, firmware, or configuration?

Which kernel are you using with your 9100? I'm having trouble on anything other than 5.5 .

Here's what worked. Thank you for everyone who helped - one of the subtleties did seem to be booting all the way on the GPU. In a few months when I've more time for it I will start bisecting my way towards a more modern kernel, but regardless I'm going to stick with Debian for now.

This is one of those journeys where I have ended up back where I started but with much greater knowledge of an unfamiliar system.

Hardware configuration:

* VGA disable jumper applied.
* WX9100 connected to monitor via MiniDP -> HDMI.

Petitboot (etc.) configuration:

* Fast reset *not* disabled.
* Boot console: /dev/hvc0.
* (Current interface: /dev/tty0)

Host OS configuration:

* Debian 11.3 installed via hvc0 then switched to Linux kernel 5.5 from RaptorCS git compiled for POWER9 and 4k page sizes.
* Boot image rebuilt to ensure amdgpu module included.
* Kernel args added: modprobe.blacklist=ast video=offb:off console=tty0
* xorg.conf.d configuration snippet to set amdgpu rather than modesetting as the module to use for amdgpu:
  https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Troubleshooting/GPU#Alternative_Xorg_configuration_using_OutputClass_and_PrimaryGPU
* MATE desktop environment.

How to boot:

* Boot with GPU output connected to monitor. The fan will spin up, and the screen will go blue or black at various points in the process. When the keyboard state LEDs flash it's about to reach PetitBoot.
* If left alone it will autoboot all the way through to the desktop, although the signal will drop with a blue video screen briefly after kexec and the host OS kernel amdgpu module will show some alarming-looking errors (ring test failed, KCQ enable failed, etc.).
* Log in to your desktop environment via the session manager and enjoy!

If the struct is allocated elsewhere with the old layout, or if the firmware is expecting it, that would explain it.

I tried the void live image with the suggested command line. It didn’t work.

Just to make sure, I tried void live with the AST VGA connection, and then I pulled out the WX9100 and replaced it with an old Nvidia card. In both cases void booted successfully to the XFCE desktop.

So it looks like the card. Which is bizarre as it’s straight from Raptor and it works with Petitboot.
