GPU hang: how could I investigate/fix this?

Is there an alternative way to set a parameter for the amdgpu module than rpm-ostree kargs --append='amdgpu.dpm=0'? I tried and it didn’t work due to my system not being booted using ostree. I tried setting options amdgpu dpm=0 in /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf as per this doc: 31.6.2. Loading a Customized Module - Persistent Changes Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 | Red Hat Customer Portal but the setting doesn’t take effect when I reboot
