Boot hangs on fb0: switching to amdgpudrmfb from EFI VGA

Hello Arch friends,

Being forced to write up this post has led to significantly more digging/unit testing, so thanks for scaring me with help vampirism! Would have just reported the Subject and not figured out the set of kernel params that lets me ssh and pull logs.

I cannot seem to boot an updated arch system (pacman -Syu) nor a USB ISO without nomodeset. Both are via UEFI/GPT.

Early KMS via MODULES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf does not change freeze point (at "EFI VGA" switching).

Adding ALL of amdgpu.dc=0 amdgpu.dpm=0 amdgpu.gpu_recovery=1 seems to let booting continue (still screen frozen). I can SSH, and look at logs (without this the freeze does not generate a journal entry to look at later via disabling KMS).

Relevant dmesg:

Is this a driver/firmware issue that can be solved? Is my graphics card dead? Is this a red herring for something else completely?

Thanks much in advance!

Re: Boot hangs on fb0: switching to amdgpudrmfb from EFI VGA

Do you have a time frame when this started? Try downgrading the linux-firmware package.

Unfortunately my previous arch install was on an MBR-partitioned drive, and I was a BAD_ARCH_USER and hadn't updated in...a while. A previous GPU crashed which led to a reinstall, and these issues.

I'll try downgrading the firmware and get back with an update!

Re: Boot hangs on fb0: switching to amdgpudrmfb from EFI VGA

No dice with downgrading linux and linux-firmware to around March nor to around July (looking at commits there were changes to enable UVD for Tahiti around this time).

Additionally, seems like my ability to SSH when the boot hangs is highly variable, I was not able to correlate it with neither software nor kernel boot parameters.

With linux-lts and linux-lts-firmware, I was able to boot! However as soon as I tried to start an X program (KDE Plasma), tearing, flickering, artifacts, crashes. Was able to check dmesg during one of them:

This, along with the inconsistent boot errors, makes me think this is a hardware issue. The card is old, and I could believe its time in life is coming to an end. Is it worth trying with Ubuntu or Windows? I imagine that some things may work and other may not, and debugging will be much worse without Arch...Any other tool I could try to test the card with?

I'll try a couple more things before calling it hardware and marking as solved, different PCIe slot, I don't know. If nothing else, I may try baking it. I wonder if these fancy new air fryers have a "Video Card" setting...
