New Debian 12 Install - Black Screen - Radeon RX580

#1 Post by buckwheat12n »

I just finished installing Debian. I boot for the first time, I get the grub loader to appear, I choose to boot into Debian and I get a blank screen. There are some error messages that appear... ACPI Bios Error-Failure creating named object, and another ACPI BIOS Error- AE_Already exists during name lookup then the screen is blank. I can boot fine into Windows with the card. I suspect the issue is my graphics card (RADEON RX580). I used to have a Manjaro install on my computer a couple years ago, I installed this card and had similar issues with that install as well. Everything worked prior to installing the card. How can I go about getting around this issue?

I was able to figure out how to get past the blank screen. At the grub menu, hit the 'e' key, add 'nomodeset' to the end of the line that starts with "linux". Hit CTRL-X, that got me in.

Still having issues getting drivers to work. I ran through Debian Wiki for installing AMD drivers, all packages showed as already installed. My motherboard is a Ryzen 3 with iGPU. When I run the "lspci" command it shows both the onboard iGPU and the GPU for the RX580, however when I run the "lsmod | grep amdgpu" command I get no result back, which I'm assuming means the drivers aren't loaded? What am I missing here?

Can you disable the iGPU in UEFI settings? Possibly it's trying to render to that instead of the RX580.

I was thinking the same thing. Unfortunately, I checked the BIOS and there isn't a place to disable the iGPU.
