[Solved at last] Issues with very new hardware

Having invested into some hot new hardware planned to be the replacment for my wifes PC, I need some advice to get it fully working.

The HW concerned is a AMD X570 chipset board with a Ryzen7 3700X CPU and a Radeon RX5500XT graphics card.

The initial cli installation was done with a Sapphire GPRO 2200 installed, based on ASCII2.1 with openrc, then upgraded to Beowulf, updated with kernel 5.4 from backports, then xorg/lightdm/Mate desktop on top. Finally I changed the graphics card to the 5500XT. The PC boots and seems to be usable, though there are a few issues left.

1.) Minor issue: lspci shows a 7340 as detected VGA which seems to be the vendor ID.

lspci
0a:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Device 7340 (rev c5)

2.) There are iommu errors shown during boot.

3.) The latest amdgpu firmware package not yet supports the 5500 card. Found navi14 firmware on github that should support the 5500XT card, downloaded the files and placed them in /lib/firmware/amdgpu, but it looks like they are not loaded from kernel 5.4/5.5.

4.) Like in this thread https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3336 the boot messages stop at "waiting for /dev to be fully populated". When switching to the login screen first of all a scrambled display is present for a second, then Lightdm login is presented as expected.

5.) Digged a bit in the internet and found a release candidate for kernel 5.5 in Debian experimental. I downloaded the .deb package from Debian and installed it with dpkg -i. The PC boots, but the issues remain as is.

6.) navi14 firmware: downloaded them and copied them into what I think is the right directory, access rights seem to be set correctly. The message is "Failed to validate gpu_info firmware "amdgpu/navi14_gpu_info.bin"". What did I miss?

Thanks, rolfie

Are you sure you have downloaded firmware correctly?

Re: [Solved at last] Issues with very new hardware

Good question. Reloaded 18 individual files again from a different PC, and the latest complete firmware package as tarball I found on github. I could not find any checksums.

Replacing the 18 individual files did not seem to make a difference. Then I extracted the files from the tarball and copied them into the library.

Then I realised a new phenomenon: with every reboot the clock is reset to 1.1.2019 00:00 (looks like this is the bios minimum). And not due to the bios battery being bad, replacing that did not help. Other parameters do not seem to be affected, i.e. Power fail: ON.

The PC now is stuck at "waiting for /dev to be fully populated", there is no more login window poppping up now.

What is this? Any suggestions?

Re: [Solved at last] Issues with very new hardware

From where did you obtain the firmware?

I would try https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … ree/amdgpu

Have you tested this hardware with Arch Linux yet? They have kernel 5.8.8 and the firmware from 2020-02-24.

Thats exactly where I got the individual files and the tarball from.

Loaded the latest available arch onto a stick and bootet the PC from that. I did not see the same errors, may be due to the fact that arch uses systemd, but the boot ends on the command line with wrong locale and no network, both to be configured in a different way. I am not familiar with arch/systemd.

I checked the journal for indications if the navi14 firmware is loaded, could not find anything.

What can I learn from this experiment? Does it pay to invest time for learning something I do not want/need as a stable working environment?

Thanks, rolfie

Re: [Solved at last] Issues with very new hardware

FWIW:

the boot ends on the command line with wrong locale and no network

localectl set-locale en_GB.UTF-8 # for example
wifi-menu

What can I learn from this experiment?

That kernel 5.8.8 supports your third generation Ryzen better than any of the De??an kernels that are available atm. You can switch to ceres and wait a bit but that's not a rolling release so it won't be as reliable as Arch.

The PC now is stuck at "waiting for /dev to be fully populated", there is no more login window poppping up now.

That same thing happens for me with the (forthcoming) beowulf installation on qemu, but this recovers by using ctrl-alt-f2 for an alternate login. Maybe it's the same for you?

Re: [Solved at last] Issues with very new hardware

Thanks, the keyboard works (reacts to NUMLOCK), but no reaction to any ctrl-alt-fn combination.

The single boot deletes the time setting, is back to 1.1.2019 00:00.

Can reboot with ctrl-alt-del.

Re: [Solved at last] Issues with very new hardware

Late feedback: Beowulf works fine on X570/Ryzen 7 3700X/RS5500XT/backports kernel 5.5 when you know how to get the Navi14 firmware to work:
