Hi folks,
I was running ROCm for a few months on this box, but in the last week it's started crashing more and more often, and yesterday it just started freezing shortly after boot-up, particularly if I touched the display settings for my monitors.
Because I wasn't confident the install was clean to begin with, and ROCm had been unstable and unpredictable for compute all that time, I decided to try a fresh install before reporting a bug.
First, I tried avoiding ROCm and just using amdgpu-pro, because I just want an OpenCL 1.2 compatible runtime for now (so, although Mesa supports Polaris and doesn't destroy my system, it won't do as it's 1.1 only :( ). That rendered the system so unstable I couldn't even login, so I wiped and reinstalled again.
So, I have installed Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 fresh, and then followed the ROCm install. But this time I had the presence of mind to make sure I could boot from grub with a stock kernel. When I re-started, the system hung again when I opened the display app, exactly as before.
What information can I collect about this hanging issue to help debug it? It's pretty consistently reproducible this past week, I just boot, login, and open the screen-orientation app to move my two monitors around, and it freezes. It also freezes without reason at any other time, but the display app seems to do it every time. I can boot into the ROCm Kernel, crash out, and get whatever information is needed to help fix this.
