amdgpu vs kexec

Mon Jun 16 09:39:45 UTC 2025

Hi guys,

My (Intel Sapphire Rapids) workstation has a RX 7800 XT and when I kexec
a bunch of times, the amdgpu driver gets upset and barfs on boot.

It starts like so:

and then continues to barf for a while longer. Full dmesg attached.

When I do a full power cycle its okay again for a few kexecs, but will
ultimately go unhappy again.

I'm doing a 'normal' systemctl kexec, which I figure should more or less
shut things down normally. Its not like a crash-kexec -- which is a
whole other story and can be expected to cause trouble.
