Keyword Review - Re: amdgpu didn't start with pci=nocrs parameter, get error "Fatal error during GPU init"

[Christian König]

Hi Mikhail,

this is pretty clearly a problem with the system and/or it's BIOS and 
not the GPU hw or the driver.

The option pci=nocrs makes the kernel ignore additional resource windows 
the BIOS reports through ACPI. This then most likely leads to problems 
with amdgpu because it can't bring up its PCIe resources any more.

The output of "sudo lspci -vvvv -s $BUSID_OF_AMDGPU" might help 
understand the problem, but I strongly suggest to try a BIOS update first.

Regards,
Christian.
