ryzen Linux won't boot

[ahmadafef]

Hello people,

 

I've just finished my build 2 days ago and All i've managed to boot using it was Windows 10.

Windows 7 will boot but without any kind of chipset support, not even to operate mouse of keyboard. <- understood for "relatively" old OS

 

The real issue I'm having is Linux!

On UEFI mode, it will post and the moment I hit install button, it will write some very long error code followed with "Couldn't get UEFI db list" and get stuck there.

On legacy mode, it will post and the moment I hit install button, it will go to blankscrean forever!

 

I understand that the issue might be related to secureboot which I'm unable to find anywhere in my board BIOS!

 

Is there a way to turn off secure boot? maybe it has another name?

maybe my linux distro isn't all new and shiny? which version should work with Ryzen 2 or/and B450 chipset/BIOS?

 

Info:

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600

RAM: HyperX Predator 2x8GB

GPU: Sapphire RX590 Nitro+

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 Aorus PRO

Storage: NVMe Kingstone A1000 

 

 

Any help is appreciated, Thank you in advance!

erm rx590 you mean?

I would imagine the problem would be lack of support, either on the hardware end or software end.

 

What distro are you trying to install?

I'm trying to keep it "Debian" 

I've tried Kubuntu and Deepin.

 

Same issue

I'd guess lack of hardware support, then.

 

What about if you try to install desktop Ubuntu, the most recent version?

Thats your problem, its not supported yet. Do you have anouther gpu or can you return this and get a 580/1060? Those will work fine.

 

Otherwise compile your self a beta kernel.

It looks like the rx590 fix is gonna be in kernel 4.20, so you should get distros with it soon seeing as its just came out. You probably want something like manajro or fedora or debian unstable as you want the newest packages.

well, Ubuntu didn't goot as well.

It really look like the GPU is the only issue since I can also see it trying to post some scramble stuff on screen a moment before the fans go up to 100% then everything gets very quite.

 

Anyway, as I can see on kernelnewbies.org, "Linux 4.20 was released on Sun, 23 Dec 2018."

So, it's a matter of few days now?

There are very few distros with kernel 4.20 now. Your probalby gonna have to wait a few months now. If you really want to do it now, manjaro should work.

 

Otherwise there is a work around kernel setting that should getting it working. Try this on the live disk https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&amp;px=Radeon-RX-590-Linux-Workaround

 

basically put amdgpu.dpm=0 in grub and ubuntu 18.10 should work

You could also just stick with Windows for now and install Linux in a virtual machine. If you use Virtualbox it's free and works very well unless you need the GPU (which you can't use anyway).

Good news: The fix is already there. "https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&amp;px=RX-590-Linux-All-Is-Good"

Bad news: I don't even know how to start to make it work for me.

There is a fix, the problem is that I can't do it since I'm not that good in linux stuff.
