Hi, I encountered a problem too. I was able to open the "sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf" file using nano 4.3, then edited the lines, pressed Ctrl+X, Y, Enter. After running "sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf," the file reloaded and displayed the 2 AMD GPU lines I entered. It’s confusing, but I’m still not sure what’s happening. I have a screen recorder installed and would appreciate a video on YouTube if it helps clarify things.
They typically modify the initramfs configuration using commands like 'sudo nano /etc/initramfs/initramfs.conf' and then update it with 'sudo update-initramfs -u'.
Hi Nayr438 , sorry but im still having issues. I ran the "sudo nano /etc/initramfs/initramfs.conf" command and it advise that it the directory did not exist when nano popped up, but upon further research I found the directory was slighty different and I ran this command instead "sudo nano /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf" That did pop up the window that I believe we were looking for, but I cannot find any reference to AMDGPU or Radeon anywhere so the mystery continues Here is the full info of what was in that window - GNU nano 4.3 /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf # # initramfs.conf # Configuration file for mkinitramfs(8). See initramfs.conf(5). # # Note that configuration options from this file can be overridden # by config files in the /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d directory. # # MODULES: [ most | netboot | dep | list ] # # most - Add most filesystem and all harddrive drivers. # # dep - Try and guess which modules to load. # # netboot - Add the base modules, network modules, but skip block devices. # # list - Only include modules from the 'additional modules' list # MODULES=most # # BUSYBOX: [ y | n | auto ] # # Use busybox shell and utilities. If set to n, klibc utilities will be used. # If set to auto (or unset), busybox will be used if installed and klibc will # be used otherwise. # BUSYBOX=auto # # COMPCACHE_SIZE: [ "x K" | "x M" | "x G" | "x %" ] # # Amount of RAM to use for RAM-based compressed swap space. # # An empty value - compcache isn't used, or added to the initramfs at all. # An integer and K (e.g. 65536 K) - use a number of kilobytes. # An integer and M (e.g. 256 M) - use a number of megabytes. # An integer and G (e.g. 1 G) - use a number of gigabytes. # An integer and % (e.g. 50 %) - use a percentage of the amount of RAM. # # You can optionally install the compcache package to configure this setting # via debconf and have userspace scripts to load and unload compcache. # COMPCACHE_SIZE="" # # COMPRESS: [ gzip | bzip2 | lz4 | lzma | lzop | xz ] # COMPRESS=lz4 # # NFS Section of the config. # # # DEVICE: ... # # Specify a specific network interface, like eth0 # Overridden by optional ip= or BOOTIF= bootarg # DEVICE= # # NFSROOT: [ auto | HOST:MOUNT ] # NFSROOT=auto # # RUNSIZE: ... # # The size of the /run tmpfs mount point, like 256M or 10% # Overridden by optional initramfs.runsize= bootarg # RUNSIZE=10% # # RESUME: [ none | auto | UUID=<uuid> | /dev/<name> ] # RESUME=none ^G Get Help ^O Write Out ^W Where Is ^K Cut Text ^J Justify ^C Cur Pos ^X Exit ^R Read File ^\ Replace ^U Paste Text ^T To Spell ^_ Go To Line ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I did read in that window the line " Note that configuration options from this file can be overridden by config files in the /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d directory " So I tried the command " sudo nano /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d " and that brought up this result .. ( dont know if it helpful tho, but at least im trying ) Also thought Id add these just in case it helps Getting there ...... hopefully
Review the modules file in that folder. The text indicates it loads modules from /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/modules. If you notice radeon removed, replace it with amdgpu at the top of that list. Neither is likely in the default setup. Proceed to create /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add blacklist radeon before executing sudo update-initramfs -u.
