AMD GPU at boot
Woof:
Before typing I'm already feeling the burning shame of a n00b question, but anyway, here goes...
I finally built my Talos II (dual 18-core), temporarily installed a Radeon RX 580 (I plan on a Radeon Pro W5700 but it currently has a waterblock fitted) and installed Ubuntu 21.10 (server install followed by desktop packages). It's early days and it's mostly working (Firefox 96 has issues, but one thing at a time). So far so good. I've disabled the built-in VGA via the jumper but it still starts up with this and then hands over to the Radeon card. Is this normal?
See the attached image.
MPC7500:
If you're on System Package v1.00, the jumper doesn't work. So this is "normal".
From my POV it's anyway better to use the AST till Petitboot and then to disable it via Kernel command line to switch then to the AMD GPU.
Woof:
Thanks, I'll check tomorrow (I'm assuming being a brand new mobo it wouldn't have the v1.0 firmware, but in any case I'll look at this).
Where can I find info like this, or does everyone just know and I'm late to the party? The quick start guide seems to trail off when it should just be getting started, but I did (just now) find the other guides and I'll look through them (in particular adding the GPU firmware).
ClassicHasClass:
That's a stonking system you have there. Makes this dual-8 look like a toy. What's your aim for it? Are you using the HSFs, or a custom cooling solution?
The jumper works properly on my two T2s, or at least it seems to. But blacklisting the AST is never a bad idea with a GPU.
Woof:
I currently have the HSFs but I'm working on a water cooling solution for it (which I'll report back on once it's finished). We do custom 3D engines and tooling at work and I was looking into alternatives to our current Threadripper setups for texture processing. It's a highly parallel task that benefits from many threads, currently running best on the 64C/128T 3990X, but I was curious as to what else is out there.
I've not had much time to experiment so far, and it'll be at least a month before I get some quality time with this machine.
