<pre>I terminated the last test immediately because it turns out a new kernel (Linux
merlin 4.18.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.18.6-1 (2018-09-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux) has
propagated from Debian Unstable to Debian Testing = Buster so I will use that
kernel for my new test. On boot with this new kernel the usual blast of random
color on the Linux console displayed by the RX 550 that I am used to for all
previous kernel versions is now gone. So that is a positive step in the right
direction, and I hope that means the Debian Buster graphics stack is finally
completely stable for the RX 550, but I will test that hypothesis with this
latest test.
The latest Debian Buster graphics stack versions for this direct graphics
kernel stability test for the RX 550 are as follows:
linux-image-4.18.0-1-amd64 4.18.6-1
amd64-microcode 3.20180524.1
firmware-amd-graphics 20180825+dfsg-1
libdrm-amdgpu1:amd64 2.4.94-1
libglapi-mesa:amd64 18.1.7-1
xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu 18.0.1-1+b1
Here are my kernel parameters which includes the suggested idle=nomwait:
irwin@merlin> cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-1-amd64
root=UUID=1e45a1ee-a5d6-4327-9a7b-2663ffc0b157 ro rootwait quiet idle=nomwait</pre>
