I've tried Linux 4.17-rc6 with Ubuntu 18.04 on Tyan S7002 and I am not even able see lightdm/gdm3 as system hangs when starting X.
Having SR-IOV enabled or disabled makes no difference.
Tested with AMD RX 460.
When X is supposed to start the system hangs and only a rectangular region on the top left corner screen remains with console text messages from the boot process while the remaining of the screen is just black. I am unable to do anything with the keyboard, switching to console does not work, ctrl-alt-del also doesn't work. I've to do a cold reset.


Regards,
Luís

Hi Michel,

Just made a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 LTS install for armhf with ubuntu
default mesa, libdrm and libclc, with the same 4.16.7 kernel and it
runs fine with the OpenCL applications that cause the hang on x86_64.
So it is surely a kernel or mesa issue exclusive to x86_64, libraries
versions are the same on both systems now, as well as the kernel.
I have even tried amdgpu-pro-18.20 with ubuntu 18.04 on x86_64 and it
hangs just the same.

Luís
