[x86-64] Kodi crashes when using AMD GPU Drivers

reloweb · July 3, 2025 at 8:58 AM

Hi,
I have an AMD Athlon 5350 CPU and I'm using Libreelec 12.0.2. I've seen a regression on hardware acceleration using radeon drivers (default drivers) in this post so i decided to switch to amdgpu drivers. I've inserted radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 in /flash/syslinux.cfg but when I try to start a video (or navigating by the UI), when I stop the playback Kodi crashes and Libreelec boot screen appears.

Can you help me?

The first thing I'd do is update to an LE13 nightly to see if the newer kernel resolves the origina (radeon) issue?

Yes, I've tried LE13 it and it works (using radeon, amdgpu same behaviour of LE12), but after about an hour of video playback, it freezes and I have to shut down the system. Maybe LE13 still isn't stable

I've been using LE13 images for 12+ months without any real-world issues, albeit on an RPi5 and not something that uses Generic with an AMD card. It would be more useful to triage on the current development release since that will receive updates. LE12 is less likely to see another release.

I've switched to the nightly build (20250702) using Radeon drivers. If it crashes, I'll attach fresh logs for further analysis

I've tried, but after about an hour it crashes and reboots on its own. These are the logs I collected. I'm trying to switch to a generic legacy nightly, let's see what happens.
