Installing an Asus NVIDIA Gefore RTX 5060 8gb on AADP 32 core

[isaric]

Hello, I am trying to install an Asus Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 with 8 GB of vram on the Ampere Altra developer platform in the 32 core version.

The server was running the original Ubuntu Server it was shipped with if I remember correctly. I have not done any bios upgrades.

I have managed to set PCI support to 4th generation in the Bios.

Unfortunately Ubuntu does not boot up and I’m greeted with an EFI stub screen.

Any suggestions what to do next?

SSH is not possible on the primary ethernet port. I have not yet tried the backup Network Port solution.

So, after you setup PCI support to 4th, it cannot enter bios? how about reset to default ?
by the way, default should be use the PCIe gen4, no need to modify it.

have you tried to unplug the GPU card ? and use the default VGA port to boot ?

if ssh is not possible, can you access serial console ?

Hey @Richard ,

thanks for responding.

What I meant was, I got passed the bios stage and stalled on EFI while booting Ubuntu.

However, this is now resolved. I managed to get SSH access and set up the KVM control through the BMC ethernet port. I installed Nvidia drivers, set that display to default and installed a GUI - Gnome.

I had some issues to take care of from previous integrations like syslog-ng and loki which I stopped using a long time ago. Also learned to set up new SSD with LVM - no need to reinstall Ubuntu. Very smooth experience expanding disk space!!

I posted about my experience on LinkedIn. It includes a video. There is also a follow-up with some images. I am having issues sharing LinkedIn links to this forum. I’ll see what I can do.
