Comment on Help with a AMD GPU in truenas scale
Fenixin@sh.itjust.works 4 months agoNot sure how to change the driver to AMDGPU, I blacklisted the Radeon driver but the kernel didn’t load the other one. I read somewhere that I have to do a initframs update but the command doens’t exist in truenas scale. How do I force to load the other driver?

For that card, you probably have to set the
radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1kernel options to allow amdgpu to work. I don't have a TrueNAS system laying around so I don't know what the idiomatic way to change them is.Using amdgpu on that card has been considered experimental ever since it was added like 6 years ago, and nobody has invested any real efforts to stabilize it. It's entirely possible that amdgpu on that card is simply never gonna work. But yeah I think the radeon driver isn't really fully functional anymore either, so I guess it's worth a shot...

If I recall right, it hasn’t been enabled by default simply because it is missing some features like analog TV out support (which most people don’t want or need in 2024).
