A Fedora Core 5 i386 on Athlon64 3200+

Writing this blog on a brand new motherboard Gibabyte GA-K8NSC-939 with Athlon64 3200+ Venice. It is much snappier than the old Athlon XP2500+ Barton.

En passant, je salue la communauté de Fedora France.

Extracting the tarball contains the following: amdgpu-install amdgpu-pro-install symlink to amdgpu doc folder repodata folder RPMS folder containing rpm package Executing the command ./amdgpu-install -opencl=pal --headless sadly failed on Fedora on that line: ./amdgpu-install -y --opencl=pal --headless Last metadata expiration check: 0:30:51 ago on Mon 19 Nov 2018 07:13:43 PM PST. No match for argument: amdgpu Upon closer look, the script failed to created a temporary repository on /var/opt/amdgpu-pro-local probably explaining why amdgpu metapackage name failed to display.
