New Firmware update Reportedly solves Ryzen 3000 boot issues Linux

New Firmware update Reportedly solves Ryzen 3000 boot issues Linux

We don't talk about Linux a lot, as the install base is small and not really the PC Gamers domain, however as it turns out Linux users have had Boot issues with Ryzen 3000. A problem that is now confirmed to be solved with the latest BIOS updates.

AMD provided a solution for the Linux issues at hand as firmware updates with AGESA Combo-AM4 1.0.0.3abb should solve the problems (and various others on the Windows platform). The Linux issues had been named Systemd error, at least that is listed at the change log of the ROG Crosshair VII Hero bios.

1.Updated AM4 combo PI 1.0.0.3 patch ABB 
2.Optimized the chipset fan profile. The new profile allows the chipset to be idle or when the temperature is low. 
3.Supports Ubuntu 19.04 and other Linux distros 
4.Improved system performance, stability and storage device compatibility 
5.Before running the USB BIOS Flashback tool, please rename the BIOS file (C8HW.CAP) using BIOS Renamer.

It shows that the motherboard now supports Ubuntu 19.04 and other Linux distributions. Ryzen 3000 chips previously had problems booting a Linux system based on Kernel 5.0. 

  

  

Germany based German PCGamesHardware and 3D-Center notes that motherboards from Gigabyte, Biostar, ASRock and MSI are already equipped with this new bios update, but no specific change log is reported to these manufacturers. The MSI updates would still be in a beta phase. Here is a progress build of AGESA updates over time and what they address:

Booting Linux on the new Ryzen platform was a hit and miss.
For me this is what bothered me since the launch.
Phoronix explained in detail how
it is an RdRand instruction issue on these newer processors manifested by systemd.
Now, having this issue solved, my new computer can be built and the upgrade from Skylake finally done.
