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

Congratulations on your activities, very interesting, you will be a good connoisseur then also of MotorolaSolutions radio equipment I presume ... In any case, returning to our Kernel speech, the problem is not only on 5700 but also on the other 5000 series, as well as on Nano mashed potato. I hope they solve it as soon as possible because we are already at version 5.8 and it still doesn't work ...

Hi, maybe there is some error in the command you give, I did the procedure as it is done above by the friend VDDVSS. First I installed the rpmfusion repositories for as the first command says, I copied it the same, then I ran the Chromium installation and it was fine and I did it more than once so it ran perfectly ...

I understand thanks for your detailed explanation. From what I see you are also a developer for Power I am very pleased. If I can ask you a question a little off topic, being you a developer, how much software do we really have today, which is developed natively on Power and therefore really exploits this architecture?

What I don't understand is why they are still not solving the problem considering that we have been reporting it for several months already on the official Fedora channels. TLE also reported it to AMD, what more should we do? I do not know...

Thanks for what you do TLE, your contribution to the Power community is always valuable.  Let's hope someone moves because this problem has been going on for a long time now unfortunately.  Every Kernel that I install with the update, I am forced to delete it immediately after as it does not work, this thing is frustrating ...

I was now reading information on the Polaris MPC talks about but they are cards in any case old as a conception. They have the manufacturing process still at 14 nM among other things. Even if they give less problems, they are still old cards compared to the Navi so I personally always prefer the Navi. Or sooner or later they will have to solve those small bugs and then to me the 5700 XT is fine, the fault in our case is the Kernel that from version 5.7.X unfortunately has taken steps backwards as regards the reading of Navi 10/14. They are the ones who have to search for the bug and fix it ... We hope they do it as soon as possible because it is a long time now that we have been moving forward with this bug ...

Guys at this point I think the only thing to do is report directly to the team that develops the Linux Kernel. There is something they have put that does not go from version 5.7.X onwards and from that moment it seems they are unaware that it no longer works, they do not know that the Kernel is no longer having the Navi or Nano cards ...

Yes, as cards they will be excellent and will also have a good price, the problem is that you will have to wait months before they make drivers to be able to use them with Power ...

I get it, so I better wait if I want to try another distro, I use Fedora and I am fine, I think it's the best or one of the best for Power. I'd just like to try and see how another distro performs to have something different every now and then. While about Fedora 32 Workstation what can you tell me more precisely? Some time ago when I tried to install it it gave me an error and did not allow me to start the installation disk, does anyone know why? Thank you

So you mean that only on the next Debian 2021 could there be natively support for Navi 10/14 right? Otherwise it takes everything you listed above. When it comes to handling multiple monitors and PCIe 4.0 support, the Radeon 5700/5700 XTs have support for both, so you can do all of this with them already.

For me personally, big navi is not fully exploitable as we don't have great software to run that requires all that power.  Of course for those who have to buy now, maybe it is better to wait, but I repeat, it does not seem to me that with the software currently available for Power, we can unfortunately take advantage of a card like the big navi.  So in summary, you tell me that if you install one of those packages on Debian, can you use Navi?  But are there no real drivers now, given the time that has passed since the release of Navi 10/14 ?!

Hello everyone, I wanted to know if to date, as well Fedora, if there is some other distribution of Linux for our architecture, which has the drivers to normal operation GPUs AMD series  Navi 10/14. Someone has information about? Thanks

I would also pick a Polaris. Maybe a SAPHIRE PULSE RX 570 8G G5 HDMI DP or a RX 580. I wouldn't buy a Navi again.
Excuse me, why wouldn't you take a Navi anymore? In any case, they represent the most prestigious production of the AMD GPU line ...

With 5.8.X still have not solved?  But it is absurd sorry, possible that they ignore our complaints from various parts ?!

Yes guys, the problem is unfortunately specific to Navi 10 Radeon 5700 / 5700XT, or Radeon Nano R9. The problem does not arise on yours. We hope that at least for the 5.8.X Kernel they solve because it seems to me that by now for 5.7.X the thing will remain as it is at this point ...
