The notes I found say to create a file in /etc/modprobe.d And say call it anything but something like enable_amdgpu_disable_radeon.conf and put this in it: options amdgpu si_support=1 options amdgpu cik_support=1 options radeon si_support=0 options radeon cik_support=0 and then do a "dracut --force" and reboot. Make sure there is not a new kernel, as the dracut will built the current booted kernel and not the new/other kernels. So make sure you boot back into the same kernel. adding --regenerate-all on the dracut command line will cause it to rebuild all kernel initramfs, I would not do that until you determine this one works better than the prior one. si/cik are AMD/ATI graphics cards, The SI and CIK families can use either driver, default enable is radeon, disable on amdgpu. I have not rebooted my machine that is using the radeon driver yet (it is a main server so it does not get booted often), so I don't know if that is all that is needed for it to work.
