ROCm 1.7.1 a kernel parameter noretry has been set to 1 to improve overall system performance. However it has been proven to bring instability to graphics driver shipped with Ubuntu. This is an ongoing issue and we are looking into it.
147+
148+
Before that, please try apply this change by changing noretry bit to 0.
149+
150+
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/amdkfd/parameters/noretry
151+
Files under /sys won't be preserved after reboot so you'll need to do it every time.
152+
153+
One way to keep noretry=0 is to change /etc/modprobe.d/amdkfd.conf and make it be:
154+
155+
options amdkfd noretry=0
156+
157+
Once it's done, run sudo update-initramfs -u. Reboot and verify /sys/module/amdkfd/parameters/noretry stays as 0.
