I’ve just recently got my hands on a reasonable priced RX5500 XT to replace my old Nvidia GTX1070.
So i thought it would just be plug & play for amd cards.
But after pluggin it in my system doesn’t even want to boot. It just gets stuck somewhere in the boot process and hangs indefinetly. Using different kernels 5.9, 5.10, 5.11 & 5.12rc no chances …
Using nomodeset i can boot into a tty but i can’t figure out what is going on with the amd driver.
To verify that the problem is not something from my installation, I tried booting from a live usb (lastest manjaro gnome edition) but that aswell doesn’t work, which slowly makes me think that I’ve might have gotten a defective gpu unit
