[Solved]How to start Systemd/Journal before loading amdgpu

I would like to know how I can start Systemd/Journal before loading amdgpu, or load amdgpu after starting Systemd/Journal.

I have an issue with my Radeon Rx 6400, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=277292.

Today I noticed that I cannot check the right journal just when my system is crashed by Rx 6400, because Systemd/Journal starts after loading amdgpu.

To check the right journal, I would like to start Systemd/journal and then to load amdgpu.

Thanks,

The problem is rather that the crash will cause you to perform a hard reboot (?) which in turn will prevent the logs from being synced to disk.
Changing the order of anything during the boot process won't change that,

=> avoid hard reboots, try cltr+alt+del and if that doesn't work, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboa … el_(SysRq)

SysRq keys do not work. I push r, e, i, s, u, b but nothing happens. I am sure those keys works fine when I remove a device (radeon rx 6400) which makes my system crash.

Anyway, since SysRq is the answer for my question itself, I will close this thread.

Thank you.
