Solved - Re: System is locking up a lot

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Just want to report in that thanks to Roger, I am running smoothly with the amdgpu driver and no lockups for over a week and 1 kernel update.

I closed the bug I had filed and closing this thread.

Take care all, and thanks!

-f and --force are the same, so I would suspect you were booted into
an older/different kernel and it rebuilt the initramfs for that older
kernel but this kernel had been installed earlier and dracut by
default only rebuilds the current kernels initrd and not all kernels
unless another option is added.

Hopefully since this is a newer driver for the same card that is still
being developed this one actually works.

Looks like it took this time:

      Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu

In your first instructions you had "dracut --force"

This time you had "dracut -f"

Don't know if that was the difference or something else.

But now I have to put this into my installation instructions.

First we will see how things run for the week.

Thanks!

the 2nd entry needs to be on the same grep line.

But based on the output the options in that file aren't being used.

On mine both of the options are set to one on amdgpu, and 0 on radeon.

do
lsinitrd | grep  enable_amdgpu_disable_radeon

you should see the file being included in the output.
# lsinitrd | grep  enable_amdgpu_disable_radeon
#

Nothing found.

# dracut -f
#

then:

# lsinitrd | grep  enable_amdgpu_disable_radeon
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          114 Oct 28  2021
etc/modprobe.d/enable_amdgpu_disable_radeon.conf

So maybe this time....

Rebooting now.

If it is not, try running "dracut -f" and reboot.

try this and see what it shows:

/sys/module/*/parameters/cik_support
As root:

-bash: /sys/module/amdgpu/parameters/cik_support: Permission denied


And I checked:

# cat /etc/modprobe.d/enable_amdgpu_disable_radeon.conf
options amdgpu si_support=1
options amdgpu cik_support=1
options radeon si_support=0
options radeon cik_support=0


to verify that radeon is disabled and amdgpu is enabled.

I tried on mine, an my amd gpu is a really old one while claiming to
be supported by amdgpu, acts like it is not.

Finally did this:

I did not make the change when I got back to my office/home, and
things
worked fine into mid-sunday when it locked again.  Did a dnf
update from
a character session after power cycle and new kernel, firefox, and
linuxfirmware.  So decided to see how it would go.

And I could work with cnn and youtube and other video stuff that was
locking me up.  Plus other apps, so I thought maybe things were
fixed....

But twice my session aborted without a system lockup and I had to log
back in and restart everything.

Then I got a lock up again, so I power cycled and hay! New kernel.
But
I still did as you instructed below, making the file and running
dracut.  Now on reboot:

# lspci -nnk | egrep -i "VGA|DISPLAY" -A3
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices,
Inc.
[AMD/ATI] Kabini [Radeon HD 8330] [1002:9832]
        Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:2219]
        Kernel driver in use: radeon
        Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu

which is the same as before:

It still says using radeon driver?

Should I try your radeon_blacklist.conf ?

I do not believe anything else is needed.    Where dmesg said
"radeon:", it should now say "amdgpu:".  amdgpu seems to be the
replacement and/or currently developed driver.   And the recent
non-ryzen AMD laptops are using an older AMD cpu + ATI/AMD build-in
video, that originally were blocked from using the (at the time - )
experimental amdgpu driver.

It seems pretty likely that there is code from the radeon driver in
the amdgpu driver, a lot of the messages from it look
similar/identical, and on my ryzen system that default uses amdgpu.

Is it correct to assume that I don't have to install anything
more to
get the amdgpu driver?

That will not work.

If I am reading the module options right (and other peoples
comments),
amdgpu will not manage a si/cik chipset unless the correct
_support is
set to 1.

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.
The other option is to make a file called
radeon-blacklist.conf and put in:
blacklist radeon

The filenames don't actually matter as long as they end in
".conf".
