amdgpu-pro fails to build

English Hardware
#1

I’m trying to install the AMDGPU-PRO driver and I followed the instructions as provided by openSUSE wiki and AMD. However the process fails to build the driver.

 5/18) Installing: amdgpu-pro-dkms-17.30-465504.noarch ..........................................................................................................................................................[done]
Additional rpm output:
Loading new amdgpu-pro-17.30-465504 DKMS files...
Building for 4.4.87-25-default
Building initial module for 4.4.87-25-default
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.4.87-25-default (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/amdgpu-pro/17.30-465504/build/make.log for more information.
warning: %post(amdgpu-pro-dkms-0:17.30-465504.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 10

I did install the DKMS as suggested by AMD (BumbleBee project), but has no effect.

Hi
That maybe a SI (Southern Island) card… AFAIK won’t work, see;

Else provide the output from;


/sbin/lspci -nnk |grep -A3 VGA

But again, as indicated in the thread it’s something that needs to be taken up with AMD…

It’s a Kaveri, as far as I understand that should work, but if I’m mistaken please tell me so.

Hi
That’s a GCN 1.1 I have Mullins and Kabini cards (same Southern Island types), neither worked with amdgpu-pro when I tried. I have a amdgpu kmp built instead with CIK enabled.

If the drm-kmp-default package is installed, you could try removing that and see if it builds, but maybe ping the OP in the other thread and see if they had any luck.

Edit: See this thread for possible patch (probably needs rebasing): https://community.amd.com/thread/212558

Maybe you wanna try the AMDGPU-PRO 16.50 driver.
It´s the only one that installs without any problems on my Leap 42.2, default kernel.
The driver works great, even with Superposition benchmark.

@malcolmlewis: Removing the DRM package has the same output during building.

@testi55: Do you have a direct link to the 16.5 version? When I go through the AMD site I only end up with the 17.3.

Hmm, bad luck, all download links are broken.
Maybe malcolmlewis still has one?
If not you can PM me, i’ll send you the driver .
