Public bug reported: This is on Precision 3620, Precision 5820, Precision 7820 - systems with AMD bundled for OEM fail to properly boot after update/upgrade. I believe this is related to this issue:
https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/amdgpupro-ubuntu-advisory Since our image contains the amdgpu-pro package we are impacted. Canonical image is not impacted. Various systems (Precision 3420, 3620, 5820, and 7820) are having login issues with AMD GPUs after running system updates on the OEM Ubuntu image. After running sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, the system will exhibit one of a few different behaviors: • Boots to a black screen • Loops at login • Boots to a screen indicating the system has been forced to low graphics mode and hard locks. I have a systems in the lab that exhibits this issue and I don’t know how to get around it.
