Patched kernel, lost graphics config

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I received the security kernel patch 716(?) yesterday but held off on installing it immediately, mainly in case something goes wrong, as I’ve had in the past with new kernels and not yet updated NVidia drivers. I could always install the NVidia driver the “hard way”, til the official one gets built.

I’m running a Radeon now, so am currently using AMDGPU drivers. I don’t think there’s a “hard way” to install them, so rely upon the repositories.

The kernel is updated…

% uname -a

Linux linux-XXXX 5.3.18-lp152.75-default #1 SMP Wed May 5 09:22:56 UTC 2021 (16c42c8) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

After the reboot, my dual monitor, mixed resolution, 2560 x 1440 and 1920 x 1200, setup became a dual monitor, mirrored 1400 x 1050 setup. The configuration seems lost.

X-Server information from KInfocenter says:

Vendor Release Number 1.20.3
Version Number 11.0

% lsmod | grep amd

amdgpu               4755456  0
amd_iommu_v2           20480  1 amdgpu
gpu_sched              36864  1 amdgpu
i2c_algo_bit           16384  1 amdgpu
drm_kms_helper        229376  1 amdgpu
ttm                   122880  1 amdgpu
drm                   544768  4 gpu_sched,drm_kms_helper,amdgpu,ttm

So the kernel module seems loaded.

Is there something I need to reconfigure? Or do I need a new AMDGPU kernel module and thus need to wait on the repositories?

Thanks!

Everything works normally if I select the previous kernel in Grub2 at startup…

Advanced options for openSUSE Leap 15.2

then…

5.3.18-lp152.72-default

instead of the newly installed…

5.3.18-lp152.75-default

Something’s gone wrong to cause (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory. Without /dev/dri/card0, neither modesetting nor amdgpu driver is available, so X falls back to FBDEV, which is slow and provides limited support for widescreen modes. Here, everything looks good for AMD:

Just when did you switch from NVidia to AMD? Are there NVidia installation remnants remaining installed?

If I had to guess, I’d say the AMD proprietary drivers, which I never use, need an update to match the .75 kernel.

Indeed, FBDEV is so slow… it was quite annoying!

Here’s my system booted to 5.3.18-lp152.72-default kernel, where everything works…

I switched from NVidia to AMD a few weeks ago, when I went from Leap 15.1 to 15.2 and learned that my NVidia GT240 was no longer supported by NVidia itself for proprietary drivers.

I’ll post the results of inxi -SGa with 5.3.18-lp152.75-default kernel next…

Between the two Xorg.0.log’s, this crucial line seems to be missing…

What triggers xfree86 to add drm device (/dev/dri/card0)? And what kernel difference between .72 and .75 would prevent it?

I guess the subsequent “Applying OutputClass” and “loading driver: amdgpu” is contingent on the drm device being added?

More research…

This is the kernel security patch I installed… openSUSE-SU-2021:0716-1: important: Security update for the Linux Kernel

https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/security-announce@lists.opensuse.org/message/VDF7UBOVWJVCBDNJIGAY445AXZJU4OOD/

This thread from October 2020 seems like a similar problem, where after a kernel security patch, graphics problems resulted…

https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/545527-Screen-is-black-after-update-to-kernel-default-5-3-18-lp152-44

The fix was resolved in this bugzilla…

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1177384

I tried some ideas from the bugzilla thread…

As you can see, the radeon.ko files are the same size. The newer .75 kernel has a smaller amdgpu.ko file and is missing the amdkcl directory and contents.

I tried making the newer .75 kernel’s directory match the older .72 kernel with the same amdgpu.ko file and amdkcl/amdkcl.ko files, then depmod 5.3.18-lp152.75-default and mkinitrd (from comment 11 in the bugzilla thread), without luck.

Any ideas? Is it time to file a bugzilla report?

I would.

Success!

On a whim, I pretended that the AMDGPU-PRO drivers weren’t installed, even though YaST says it is.

  1. I booted into the newer .75 kernel.
  2. I launched YaST.
  3. Searched for “amdgpu” and set all files that had “amdgpu” in the name as Update (even they were already installed and set as Keep), with exception of ones with “mesa-” and these two, “x86-video-amdgpu” and “xorg-x11-amdgpu-drv-amdgpu”.
  4. Searched for “xorg-x11-server” and set that to Update too. (I had to Update this one after initially installing the AMDGPU-PRO drivers the last time to get things to work.)
  5. Accepted and let everything reinstall.
  6. Rebooted.

With NVidia and a kernel update, I either had to install the NVidia drivers the “hard way” or wait for a new NVidia repository build.

With AMD and a kernel update, it seems doing the above is like the “hard way”.

Thanks to everyone for assisting others in these forums! Sometimes there are direct answers, sometimes ideas that spawn other ideas.

Just confirming that method in previous post worked…

Went from kernel 5.3.18-lp152.75-default to 5.3.18-lp152.78-default this morning, lost AMD graphics config, and restored with reinstall of already installed packages.

ILL KMS is not installed.

14

Is this something that will invoke a reinstall of the AMDGPU-PRO modules whenever a new kernel is installed?
