Re: [opensuse-factory] TW boot-freeze, no graphical login
The ./amdgpu-pro-install --compute command created a local amdgpu-pro repository and installed a few rpms. There is some dkms stuff that I don't understand. Other than this, there is a blacklist radeon entry for /etc/modprobe.d/ but, the radeon kernel driver doesn't even support the rx480... So, I don't see what prevented my boot (probably this dkms stuff). After removing the installed amdgpu-pro packages, TW boots up normally. Thank you all. Now, I just manually copy the OpenCL driver parts to /opt/amdgpu-pro/ as described here: https://community.amd.com/message/2788134 That seems to work :-) Cheers, Michael Am 29.05.2017 um 09:35 schrieb Michael Born:

I did not install any Nvidia stuff for my AMD card. The ACPI/BIOS errors of my MSI Z77 mainboard are there for many years - I don't know why it is so hard for them to write a BIOS that has no wrong parameters in it... But, I don't think that is my problem. The messages have been there forever.
I think your Nvidia comments are helpful. Although, I use the open source amdgpu+MESA drivers, I installed the OpenCL driver from the binary amdgpu-PRO package with: ./amdgpu-pro-install --compute
Maybe that messed with my initrd. I will check that tonight when I'm back home.
But, what could prevent the VESA fall-back driver to kick in?

If You want to install the driver complete: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/How-To-Install-Uninstall-AMDG... You must have the complete development enviroment for the kernel development, with same kernel-devel version than the running kernel. You must to apply a patch (this is for the 16.60 version) Required utils: - rpmrebuild - patch Steps: Extract driver package: $ tar -Jxvf amdgpu-pro-16.60-379184.tar.xz Change to the directory where the rpm package amdgpu-pro-dkms is: $ cd amdgpu-pro-16.60-379184/RPMS/noarch Execute rpmrebuild with the following: $ rpmrebuild -ep amdgpu-pro-dkms-16.60-379184.noarch.rpm This opens vim. Attention: Do not close vim yet!

Thank you for this explanation. This will be helpful for many. I'm quite happy with the open source amdgpu driver (+MESA OpenGL). Only the missing open source OpenCL driver is what makes me use that part of the binary driver. Cheers, Michael Am 30.05.2017 um 00:09 schrieb Juan Erbes:

Yes, but the actual version of Mesa for Leap 42.2 is 11.2.2-166.1 In the build service is the same version. Mesa 17.1.1 Released http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Mesa-17.1.1-Released https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2017-May/156831.html What You know about mesa-amdgpu-pro-vdpau-drivers - Mesa-based DRI drivers?

Yes, the latest Mesa 17.2 seems to have better perfomance than the amdgpu-pro driver. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu-zesty-amdmay&num=1 https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/steamos-updated-valve-drops-amdgpu-pr... I could install the driver amdgpu-pro-17.10-414273 with the kernel linux-4.4.62-18.6 in Opensuse Leap 42.2. But in the test with Unigine Valley, I observed many variations in the speed in the benchmark mode. The media FPS of the benchmark with Unigine Valley is similar than the FPS obtained with the driver amdgpu-pro-16.60 Tested wih glmark2, appear a little better performance with the last driver. https://community.amd.com/thread/215611 Mesa 17.2 is available in the opensuse repos?

Forget it, Ubuntu <> openSuse, and the test ist with kernel 4.12 !!!

Well, if you want openCL, then Ubuntu provides. Here amdgpu-pro runs with Xubuntu 16.04.2 and openCL. cu Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
