[SOLVED] linux not booting with AMD RX580

Hello Dear Arch users,

On my laptop, since I upgraded to testing/linux 4.19.9 I cannot boot.
I tried to boot by using the following kernel parameters, and it works fine :

amdgpu.powerplay = 0
amdgpu.dc = 0

I suppose this problem is related to this old topic that I created myself:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=234901

This evening I will try:
- to upgrade all kernels (both linux and linux-hardened) to the last version/release,
- to start the hardened kernel with and without kernel options mentionned above,
- to start the NON-hardened kernel with and without kernel options mentionned above.

Then I will tell you.

Regards,
Me

Re: [SOLVED] linux not booting with AMD RX580

A short description of "cannot boot" would be nice. What happens and where exactly does it fail?

Re: [SOLVED] linux not booting with AMD RX580

Hi,

Thanks. I read the link from @loqs.
I have the same laptop as the user "velemas" :

    My system is Asus ROG GL702ZC with RX 580:

I will upgrade to last testing kernel and firmware this evening and it should be all right.
I'll confirm tomorrow.

Re: [SOLVED] linux not booting with AMD RX580

Hi,

I had the same issue after Upgrading (boot stops after at KMS stage) on my Desktop with Vega64.

Downgrading kernels didn't help, but downgrading linux-firmware to 20181026.1cb4e51-1 after booting with nomodeset is a workaround for me until the next linux-firmware update.
I could not try linux mainline due to zfs-dkms not compiling.

Re: [SOLVED] linux not booting with AMD RX580

I ran into the same issue, but after upgrading to 4.20.0-rc7-mainline I could finally boot into gdm. I also tried a different linux-firmware, but it didn't make any difference for me.

Re: [SOLVED] linux not booting with AMD RX580

Hi,
I tried to upgrade to last stable kernel version of the repos but it doesn't help.
I still have to boot with the additional kernel parameter :

amdgpu.dc=0

Re: [SOLVED] linux not booting with AMD RX580

Hi,

just to clarify my previous post:
My setup is pretty simple: RX580, GNOME with 4k resolution via DisplayPort (if that matters)
I removed any kernel parameters (I initially tried amdgpu.dc=0, without success). Instead I just compiled linux-mainline from AUR which is `4.20rc7-1` at the time of writing.
Since then I have the RX580 running flawlessly for me without issues.

Re: [SOLVED] linux not booting with AMD RX580

Hi Girafferson,
A workaround is to press the 'e' touch during GRUB step, and to add the kernel parameter "amdgpu.dc=0", then press F10 to boot.
Probably the problem has been introduced between linux-4.19.8 and linux-4.19.9. Not sure...

Can anyone tell me whether this issue is known by kernel/AMD developers?
Shall we open a bug report?

If the problem has been fixed in 4.20 it should be backported to 4.19, don't you think?

Regards

Re: [SOLVED] linux not booting with AMD RX580

Several posters in this thread mentioned using gdm .
Has anyone tried to boot to multi-user.target (see systemd wiki page) to verify if this is a gdm / display manager problem or a kernel problem ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Re: [SOLVED] linux not booting with AMD RX580

Hi Lone_Wolf,
I never use gdm.
But to be sure, I ran:
pacman -Qs gdm
and found "gdm libgdm".
Therefore I ran
pacman -R gdm libgdm
and also had to remove
pacman -R gnome-shell gdm libgdm
Then I restarted and checked systemctl

So as you can see multi-user.target is active.

After removing gdm libgdm and gnome-shell I tried to restart the mainline linux kernel from the repos but still get a black screen.
Had to restart by using CTRL+DEL then restart the mainline linux kernel with the kernel parameter "amdgpu.dc=0".

Re: [SOLVED] linux not booting with AMD RX580

I have also the  Asus ROG GL702ZC and I have the same problem. I have to clarify something.
The system boots. And it boots correctly.... In a black screen.
The system does not initialize the internal monitor by it self. If I plug an external monitor both monitors work correct. After that if I unplug the external monitor the internal monitor continue to display image correct.
Up until kernel 4.19.8 everything is ok
With the kernels 4.19.9 11 12  the problem persist.

Re: [SOLVED] linux not booting with AMD RX580

Im also have the black screen problem. When i turn on the computer, immediately the screen goes black and the external screen goes to save mode. The shorcuts doesnt work so im only have the hard reset button. There is no logs in journalctl about that session. I changed the resolution in grub but there is no difference.
I started two have this problem two weeks ago with the lts kernel. I changed to zen and arch but its the same.


Arch Plasma
AMD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250

Re: [SOLVED] linux not booting with AMD RX580

@iara what packages were updated that caused the issue?  What is the version of linux-firmware on your system?  Do you use any out of tree kernel modules such DKMS drivers?
Edit:
If you are sure you have no out of tree kernel modules you could try linux 4.20.arch1-1 from staging.

If you downgrade linux-lts to 4.14.87 without changing any other packages does linux-lts then work correctly?

Re: [SOLVED] linux not booting with AMD RX580

Hi,
as FiltatosV6 wrote, the problem occurred between 4.19.8 and 4.19.9 (I am 95% sure of that).

Below are the DKMS modules that are installed on my system:

local/dkms 2.5-4
    Dynamic Kernel Modules System
local/virtualbox-host-dkms 5.2.22-1
    VirtualBox Host kernel modules sources

I have the feeling it is related to KMS issue because at that specific time I normally get flickering but now I only get a black screen.

Here is the version of linux-firmware I use:

local/linux-firmware 20181218.0f22c85-1 (base)

My system is fully up to date.

Sorry but I do not feel confortable with the idea of installing a Staging package... :-/

I just tried with linux-lts 4.14.90 and it works fine (with no need to use the amdgpu.dc=0 kernel parameter).

@PolePosition https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109122 looks to be the continuation of velemas from https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/61117#comment175504
You can try reverting the commit that velemas identified as the cause to confirm the issue is the same.  Other than that I am out of suggestions.

Ok but the problem is present in the lts, zen and arch linux kernel. Currently im using the arch kernel and once a day (in the first boot) the screen start with a black screen until i hard reset and turn on again.

Yes. I have to hard reseting four times until the system boots properly. What can i do? Open a new thread with my problem?

I would suggest trying 4.20.arch1-1 from testing.  Do not enable the testing repositories as kernel space and user space is separate you can safely update jus the kernel package.
If that does not resolve the issue yes start a new thread with all the relevant information from this one.
