Subject: Can Guix support Zen 2/AMD Ryzen?
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2020 14:37:38 -0700 [thread overview]

Hi guix,
I built a guix image for a hardware enthusiast friend to try on his
computers, in part to see how well/completely his more modern hardware
would run guix and if it would be worth commissioning him to build me a
computer. It successfully booted, but the screens turned blank and
didn't show gdm. My friend tried this twice, and the same thing
happened. He tried ctrl+alt+f{1..6} and didn't see anything (though he
has a weird keyboard that requires him to hold a modifier key to enter
any function key). He suggested it might be because his computer has a
Ryzen CPU with the Zen 2 Architecture, which he knows might need to work
around. Since it booted fine, I think it might be more related to his
Nvidia GPU. Is there anything I can do, without resorting to proprietary
solutions, to make a guix image with a desktop at least displays with
his hardware?
-Jesse
