Help, rocm screwed my kernel upgrades

[mikelpr (Mikel Pérez)]

ever since I installed the rocm stack, I can’t run newer kernels. display gets stuck at switching to amdgpudrmfb.

also, I’ve got /lib/firmware/5.6.13-300.fc32.x86_64 with amdgpu and radeon dirs but not for other kernel versions, and they don’t belong to any package according to rpm. I don’t know what to do, I don’t want to reinstall. I want to save this installation

Have you documented how you installed the rocm stack? It may help deduce the problem.

[mikelpr (Mikel Pérez)]

1. added the rocm repos
2. force installed hcc as that one requires pth which has been replaced by npth
3. dnf installed rocm*

I’ve since removed all packages from the rocm repos but it still won’t work with newer kernels

this is the last I see when booting. it freezes here on all kernels after 5.6.13

fixed now, there was a leftover /etc/udev/rules.d/70-kfd.rules from rocm-dkms that didn’t uninstall

much thanks to luyatshimbalanga over at github
