Hello. Sorry to distract the developers for a private busyness, but it’s a non-trivial diagnostic problem. I bought a laptop where the GPU is probably faulty or badly misconfigured (note “[drm] BIOS signature incorrect cc cc” and the next message about memory ranges) but indeed present. All attempts to use either of two Linux drivers (see https://linux-hardware.org/?id=cpu:amd-25-80-0-ryzen-7-5800u-with-radeon-graphics&hwid=a26ef811f12f ) failed. Of course, it doesn’t prove anything conclusively, and AMD virtually turned me around (https://community.amd.com/t5/graphics/tools-to-check-for-malfunction-of-ryzen-s-gpu/m-p/519397 ). But I am reluctant to complain to the manufacturer (namely, Lenovo) until expend all possibilities to make the stuff work. The recent attempt to run (modprobe) the open amdgpu driver with linux-5.16.18 produced: [ 1234.755272] AMD-Vi: AMD IOMMUv2 loaded and initialized [ 1234.884288] [drm] amdgpu kernel modesetting enabled.

You also can see the full transcript at https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=ce0316a106&log=dmesg although, unfortunately, it is spammed with an unrelated OS problem. How can one check whether is this GPU able to do its job? At the end I made the driver to create all the /dev/dri/ stuff, but yet unsure what to do next because the video system produces no image with it. Should I run the AMD tools from gpuopen.com? Or try vulkaninfo(1) when “my” amdgpu is active? Do more kernel debugging? Update the BIOS? Note that I shouldn’t eventually compromise my standing as a wronged customer with bold changes in the computer. Regards, --Incnis Mrsi
