Error after setting amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xfffd7fff

[dhasial]

So this is what happens when I run /usr/bin/gpu-mon after using the ppfeaturemask kernel parameters. It works normally without (though I can't use gpu-ls in either).

Also, I have a AMD R9 290, and am currently running Debian Bullseye. The kernel is 5.10.12-xanmod1-cacule. And ricks-amdgpu-utils is version 3.5.0-1 from the Debian Testing repos.

I should also mention that I am using the refind bootloader rather than GRUB, but that (afaik) shouldn't affect how kernel parameters are applied.

Thanks for raising the issue! This was reported and fixed in a pull request. Details here Issue 102 and here PR 103.

The version on debian installer is a bit out of date. Seems like the process of updating broke when I changed the name of the repository.
