Hello, can I ask which tool do I have to use in order to copy the image to a Sata HDD? I have used HDD Raw Copy Tool but when I start the HDD in the rig I get this message and it hangs:

Scanning for btrfs filesystems
MMP_base: clean, 61027/244320 files, 607975/980731 blocks.

Regards.

Mariano.
Hello,
We recommend usage of etcher because it can write image without uncompressing it first but after being uncompressed it can be written with hdd raw copy too.
From what I see you are already booting the system but amdgpufb can't switch because your monitor doesn't support native resolution switching, as a workaround you can use built-in GPU or boot headless with autoconf.txt placed in small exfat partition. I will update first post with additional qucik FAQ.


Yes I am booting from an old 1366 Asus motherboard with no built in GPU as a Vega test bench. I have uncrompressed the image with 7z and then I have used HDD Raw Copy to copy the image file to the HDD. I have another motherboard but is an old 775 with built in GPU (G41 Chipset). It is preferable to use the 775 with built in GPU instead of the 1366 one?
All AMD hardware after Polaris need displaycore enabled to boot in gfx environment, due to Vega being superior ASIC you can boot headless as an option. It will boot properly without any display attached. We have disabled Displaycore support because otherwise the first GPU that has attached monitor will suffer some hash loss. But if needed it will be returned in image.
Please try booting headless with autoconf.txt inside small exfat partition.
