I get the same error with the amdgpu driver. But my computer completely freezes and I have to hard reset it. If you do not need the AMD GPU, you can blacklist the radeon (or amdgpu) module. It fixes the error but then the AMD GPU cannot be used.
Just create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ (I usually call it blacklist.conf) and add blacklist radeon (or amdgpu).
To check if it was really disabled, you can run lsmod | grep radeon. It should not display anything.
In my situation, I remove the tlp package by running
sudo apt remove tlpSame problem with my mother's laptop. Was updating without a problem for years.
lspci | grep -E 'VGA|Display' shows:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV620/M82 [Mobility Radeon HD 3450/3470]tlp is not installed in the sytem. And I don't have /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf
Booting from the old 4.4 kernel gave no problem. But 4.15.0-32 did
I tried adding bootflags radeon.drm=0without result. radeon: unknown parameter 'drm' ignored
I was successfull using the blunt axe approach by disabling all powermanagement with acpi=off apm=off
But ended up using the previous kernel by adding GRUB_DEFAULT="1>2" to grub.conf (see for more info
This is how you add the bootflags in grub.conf
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nosplash debug --verbose acpi=off apm=off"IMPORTANT!
after editing grub.conf you have to run sudo update-grub and reboot
In my case disabling radeon power management solved the problem ( turning off acpi prevented trackpad from working ):
Edit
'/etc/default/grub'and add'radeon.runpm=0'toGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUXvariable, it will look something like:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... quiet radeon.runpm=0"Update Grub with:
sudo update-grubReboot your computer.
I Had a lot of trouble with this. The last screen message was "switching to amdgpudrmfb from EFI VGA" But after login with ssh and dmesg I've got the same of you "error atombios stuck in loop"
My goal was to activate amdgpu driver instead of radeon So the kernel params that worked on grub was:
amdgpu.runpm=0 amdgpu.dpm=0 amdgpu.dc=0 radeon.si_support=0 radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1I have kernel 5.4.0-40-lowlatency Under Ubuntu 20.04 And my Video is an Radeon R9 280x, and from this wiki
My firmware is the TAHITI I Hope this can save someone else hours!
Here is a complete solution for REHL. It worked for me. The solution is to blacklist the radeon module. For ubuntu some of the commands might different.
I found that the issue was already reported long time back to Kernel.org here: .
The solution is to add radeon.runpm=0 flag to the kernel boot options.
Cheers
