HP EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF hangs on boot to Ubuntu 18.04

Asked by Larry Olsen

Frequently, the HP EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF hangs on boot with the message "fb0: switching to amdgpudrmfb from EFI VGA

I added the repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers to try updating the drivers.
I installed the hardware enablement stack (linux-generic-hwe-18.04).
I tried running the 4.15.0-1030-oem kernel.
I tried running the 5.0.0-36-generic kernel.

Nothing seems to help. This hardware configuration is supposedly certified to run Ubuntu 18.04. What am I missing?

Hi Larry,

Would you please provide me some more information below:

[1] "lsb_release -a"

and would you please try this kernel parameter "modprobe.blacklist=ipmi_si"[4] and let me know the result, thanks.
