Unable to boot the Enlightenment iso as I think I need amd firmware to load before graphics driver?
I have a tower (desk case) that runs AMD CPU known as an APU which supplies the graphics. I have no onboard graphics nor a discrete graphics card.
I notice packages has no mention of amdgpu
Checking the firmware aspect we have
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/LICENSE.amdgpu
this appears to be distributable and "should be" but unable to verify ---included with linux-firmware which is already in packages.
2) packages shows we have linux-firmware and xorg-xf86-video-amdgpu which should work but all I see is garbled graphics on bootup.
Any clues what to try?
3) the graphics driver for amdgpu may be the issue?
https://www.amd.com/en/support/linux-eula
but I am not a lawyer.....
this is what I have on another distro

Hello aus9
Welcome to NuTyX forums.
Thanks a lot for your effort. Appreciate.
You have a very interesting case to fix here, hope we manage.
May I ask you to test following ISO: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nutyx/files/NuTyX_x86_64-22.07.0-BASE.iso
It will be a basic NuTyX. Then you could check what's missing as firmware via the command: sudo dmesg
As general info, under NuTyX all the kernel modules are compressed now, you can use the command: find /lib/modules -name amdgpu.ko*to find the amdgpu.ko.xz module
Good luck and thanks for trying NuTyX
BR,
Thierry

Thierry
as I was about to post....saw your reply but hope reply offers more hope
hmmm downloaded the openbox had better success.
I suggest you amend bootloader to show something like
Press TAB key to edit boot menu
2) Openbox changed to ....delete quiet, edit vga=ask (on start....I chose f for a fair font size on a 22 inch monitor)
I tried and failed to use nomodeset.
3) typing on it now.

Yes no issue, what's even beter is to use the command:

and put the link here.

so the kernel module is loaded....but not quite working according to pinxi.
yet to study Xorg log
-
lspci or lspci -vvv gives me only numbers?
anyhow I have a match to other distro output pinxi

to dmesg snippet

Maybe (many thanks to Spiky for that):
sudo dmesg|paste-nutyx

we can rule out missing amd ids

I may have found something regarding the error msg
SME is not compatible with RAVEN
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/amd-gfx/2021-October/069868.html
and the AMDGPU graphics driver, despite being loaded, does not work, and the framebuffer driver
is used instead.
our config file shows
CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y
CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT_ACTIVE_BY_DEFAULT=y
-
going to reboot to try bootcode
mem_encrypt=off
-
OK with that bootcode....vga=ask and no quiet.....things have changed.....change is good ;D
Before change we had

As I appear to be the only with an APU, I will in the next few days remaster the openbox iso to
A) change my bootcodes
B) Maybe add some stuff like alsa-utils binutils and so on
I am not yet ready to think of installing....so do not use a virtual machine.
Thanks for reading

Nice job.
Many thanks for yours inputs.

the kernel module tricked me....
Openbox iso does not have the amdgpu video driver installed.
I had to, using root powers
cards install xorg-xf86-video-amdgpu
xorg-xf86-video-amdgpu 22.0.0-1 59.64 KB (73.16 KB/s) 100 % - 0 s
Retrieve info about the 435 packages: 100 %
ADD: (gui) xorg-xf86-video-amdgpu 22.0.0-1, 10 files: 100 %[11:12 x86_64 5.18.14-NuTyX root@gor]
post-install: start
/sbin/ldconfig -r /
post-install: finish
this conflicts with package list that claims that
xorg-xf86-video-amdgpu 22.0.0 is installed.
ref
https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=nutyx&pkglist=true&version=22.07.0#pkglist
I do not enough about cards or this distro.....as to what packages to what distro desktop were listed at distrowatch.
My fault for not checking....and this will resolve, hopefully if I do an install and then reboot to check
-
installed into a spare partition and currently using a chainloader to get to grub menu
I have done something wrong as it then hanged with a msg of respawn after 5 minutes ....I waited and it repeated.
So I booted into other distro -> chroot and commented out the line in /etc/inittab for the xdm-nutyx
I also installed via chroot a number of packages including the amdgpu video driver and lightdm, as I am used to lightdm and not lxdm
but on reboot...only gave me a console prompt. I have to relearn sysV!
anyhow started lightdm and we have success

EDIT this is a grub2 entry installed into the PBR of sda3, I will modify it to make it explicit now.
I actually use another distro with grub2 in MBR chainloading to NuTyx

A simple edit of /etc/inittab and reboot gave me lightdm
