As far as I understood, AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs platform has (had, depending on your motherboard BIOS version) issues when booting Linux, especially regarding systemd
, apparently.
I know AMD released a fix through a BIOS update but I was wondering if, apart from AMD employees, someone know what was the issue about, what was happening and what the fix was in the end.
Could someone explain to me what, exactly, was the problem? Does even someone, outside of AMD know?
Update:
I would be interested in knowing how this happened to be the case in details, I was not looking for a one-liner kind of answer.
If someone could provide a detailed explanation, this would be greatly appreciate.

on some architectures (something that was already addressed bysystemd
in the past). What I am not sure to understand is how exactly it affects the OS,systemd
and the boot itself. – Paradox Jul 21 at 22:21
