TLE I saw your post on the Fedora bug report on Chromium which I opened and I also saw a post by another user who says to try the version that ends in 88-2. I have just installed the latest version which should be after 88-2 or 99 and as I also reported on Fedora Bug, it still doesn't work and always makes the same error and freeze...

Please contribute to this ticket https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2308642 instead

Yeah, I haven't found a RISC-V system remotely in POWER9's class, let alone Power10 or (presumably) S1. So far it's a lot of sizzle and very little steak.

I wouldn't mind a Raptor RISC-V system, but I wouldn't want it to distract from whatever the nextgen OpenPOWER box is. Although I say that as a PowerPC bigot, I think I would get a lot more out of that than any RISC-V system right now.

You can already buy RISC-V systems today.

Milk-V
DeepComputing
framework

But the performance is really sluggish.

If RCS sought to develop and sell RISC-V systems, I would have no reservations about buying any. It's not that I have any particular loyalty to PowerPC or anything. It just happened to be the most mature, complete and performant solution available.

Honestly? I'd love to, if the resulting device were decent quality, priced more in line with the performance expectations of RISC-V, and open source.

C'mon, Raptor. Sell us a RISC-V Shrike.

I'd say cy is right, RISC-V has all the meme status. And hey, it is an open standard ISA; but people just don't know PowerPC is just as open as it so it's mostly just enthusiasts coming from the Power Mac or Amiga or the die-hard of die-hard free hardware enthusiasts, who might still find something to prefer about the RISC-V boards, like the Pioneer's Micro ATX form factor giving it more expansion slots and replaceable RAM. Though that's really rubbing up to the cost of a Blackbird by that point...

i don't think alot of people use opensuse. I did when I had a blackbird, leap was pretty good I liked it more than fedora but codecs for video playback were a problem unsure if that's resolved now. There was also the issue of missing libraries in the repo needed to build software on occasion. When I used leap I had to use a newer kernel for some ppc64le patches/updates that weren't in the standard mainline leap kernel. Tumbleweed is pretty incomplete, it's near unusable for a desktop imo. Fedora had more software support but I wasn't really a fan of it, it had problems with my mouse when clocked at 1000hz and just didnt feel as solid/stable. most people tend to use fedora or debian though. I used a blackbird as a main desktop, it's not super different from x86 linux imo.

@tle

Great! I see that Smallmodel accepted your pull request.

Can you tell me if OpenMoHAA works on your computer?

I noticed Smallmodel made some changes after some suggestions from Cowcat5150

https://github.com/openmoh/openmohaa/issues/332

Cowcat5150 is porting OpenMoHAA to MorphOS, which is a 32-bit operating system for PowerPC computers. I don't know the issues with OpenMoHAA for Linux on Raptor Computers, but maybe you want to try the most recent version.

Ok, I figured it out... Documenting here in case someone (particularly my self) needs it in the future.
Blacklist kernel module at boot time in nvram by:
1. Exiting to Petitboot shell from Petitiboot menu
2. Executing nvram -p ibm,skiboot --update-config bootargs="modprobe.blacklist=nouveau"
3. Check config by executing nvram -p ibm,skiboot --print-config
3. Reboot
I don't know if this will persist after a firmware update, is there a way to make this permanent?

This resolved the issue with Petitboot, although when the OS boots, it can't initialise the card. The card works fine in my other desktop machine (amd64), but doesn't work in either Trsiquel, Fedora or Debian in my Blackbird system. In all of the distros, Xorg log shows:
Code: [Select]
[   139.646] (EE) [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:01:00.0: -19
[   139.647] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory

Any clue as to what the solution might be for this issue? I don't believe it's firmware, I specifically bought this card because it doesn't require proprietary firmware, there's no mention of missing firmware in the Xorg log, and nonfree firmware is installed in Fedora and Debian.

Thanks for the tip! I didn't realize that.
