ROCm Installation with Fedora 32

Question

I have tried to install ROCm ( https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/ ) on Fedora 32 using the process that was described here https://rigtorp.se/notes/rocm/

The rocminfo function correctly identifies my Radeon RX 5700. Codes from hip-samples compile and link but running the code crashes the session or the entire system.

Has anyone else successfully installed ROCm with Fedora ?

The current kernel version for Fedora 32 is 5.8.10

Answer 1

Depending on your usecase, I'd recommend using the official docker images for ROCm. You can find them here: https://hub.docker.com/u/rocm

There are images for various deep learning frameworks on ROCm as well as more generic ones like rocm/terminal.

I have successfully used rocm/tensorflow on my machine running Fedora 33 in the past. You also do not need the actual Docker engine, podman works just fine, too.
