Setup: Lenovo X230 laptop with an integrated graphic card, the RX 580 is connected via a gdc beast using an express card connector.
Drivers: latest at current date: amdgpu-pro-18.50-708488-ubuntu-18.04 Kernel: Linux germanium 4.18.0-13-generic #14~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 6 14:09:52 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
It seems the dkms fails to build on ubuntu, and the system goes to a blank screen after loading. I can still switch to a terminal (that's how I obtained the logs). The kernel crashes, and when trying to reboot it even kernel panics.
The system will never boot to an UI again unless I uninstall the amdgpu pro drivers, even if at boot time the external graphic card is not connected anymore. (expresscard is unplugged from laptop)
I attached the logs.
I was not able to install the amdgpu-pro-18.50 on any kernel version, they all fail to compile the dkms driver (I went from 4.15 and up to 4.20, using ukuu, and for 4.15 I also tried the one from the supported ubuntu). amdgpu-pro-18.40 builds on 4.15, but fails to load the firmware. There is no stacktrace just smu failed to load firmware.
