A bit of an advice of what you are doing here for the 3.2 part 

 

You are enabling AMDGPU support for legacy GPU's who primarly use the radeon driver, the amdgpu driver is builtin at least from the last 3 years on the major distros and the only AMD GPU's that will use it are Southern Islands (SI) GPU's and Sea Islands (CIK) GPU's, and what you wrote was enabling support ONLY for CIK gpu's, you actually have to put this

Southern Islands (SI): radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_HD_7000_series)
Sea Islands (CIK): radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 (as you correctly wrote, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_Rx_200_series)

 

This is not needed for new gen AMD GPU's

Right, thank you! I have edited the OP!

Thanks for the great setup guide.  Everything went smoothly but the client doesn't start.  I loaded it and ran the config process.   Im a newbie and am learning.    I would have expected the client install to set it up to run on boot or when the fahcontrol said to run.    I have not clue how to fix this.

Thanks in advance.
