Fedora ROCM 10 Setup with Tarball along with maintinance scripts

A developer documented a method for installing AMD's ROCm 10 on Fedora using the vendor's TheRock tarball, which bypasses the OS check that blocks Fedora in AMD's runfile and dnf repositories. The setup centers on a single $ROCM_HOME with a versioned directory layout and symlinked 'current' pointer, plus check-update.sh and update.sh maintenance scripts, and serves llama.cpp, stable-diffusion.cpp and whisper.cpp builds targeting the gfx1151 GPU.

Why tarball: AMD's runfile and dnf repos block Fedora fedora is not a supported OS . The tarball has no OS check. One $ROCM HOME serves llama.cpp, stable-diffusion.cpp, whisper.cpp. ~/therock-tarball/ env.sh source from ~/.bashrc PATH, ROCM HOME=./current check-update.sh installed vs upstream gfx1151 tarballs update.sh <VER download + extract + verify + flip ./current current - versions/<VER /install all builds point here, never a version versions/<VER /install keep last known-good for rollback therock-dist-linux-gfx1151-<VER .tar.gz toolchain deps groups video/render must already include you: check groups sudo dnf install libatomic libquadmath numactl-libs perl gcc gcc-c++ cmake remove any Fedora/AMD ROCm that conflicts with the tarball sudo dnf remove rocm- hipblas hipcc rocminfo hsa-rocr hsa-rocr-devel amdgpu-install sudo dnf autoremove sudo rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/rocm.repo delete stale empty dirs left behind by the uninstall, if present sudo rm -rf /opt/rocm-7.1.0 /usr/lib64/rocm cd ~/therock-tarball ./check-update.sh ./update.sh 10.0.0 echo 'source "$HOME/therock-tarball/env.sh"' ~/.bashrc echo "$HOME/therock-tarball/current/lib" | sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/rocm-10.conf sudo ldconfig source ~/therock-tarball/env.sh rocminfo | grep -i -m2 gfx1151 $ROCM HOME/bin/amd-smi list hipcc --version cd ~/therock-tarball ./check-update.sh if newer: ./update.sh <VER && sudo ldconfig smoke one HIP build, then delete the proven-old version + tarball: rm -rf versions/<OLD therock-dist-linux-gfx1151-<OLD .tar.gz ln -sfn ~/therock-tarball/versions/<OLD /install ~/therock-tarball/current sudo ldconfig rm -rf ~/therock-tarball/versions ~/therock-tarball/ .tar.gz ~/therock-tarball/current sudo rm -f /etc/ld.so.conf.d/rocm-10.conf sudo ldconfig then delete this line from ~/.bashrc: source "$HOME/therock-tarball/env.sh" source ~/therock-tarball/env.sh llama.cpp / whisper.cpp ggml passthrough cmake -B build-rocm -DGGML HIP=ON -DGPU TARGETS=gfx1151 \ -DCMAKE HIP ARCHITECTURES=gfx1151 -DCMAKE HIP COMPILER=$ROCM HOME/bin/amdclang++ stable-diffusion.cpp cmake -B build-rocm -DSD HIPBLAS=ON -DGPU TARGETS=gfx1151 \ -DCMAKE HIP ARCHITECTURES=gfx1151 -DCMAKE HIP COMPILER=$ROCM HOME/bin/amdclang++ fallback everywhere no ROCm needed : -DGGML VULKAN=ON / -DSD VULKAN=ON If hipcc fails with ModuleNotFoundError , use amdclang++ as above . Host-level monitors live in ~/gpu-tools/ own README + update scripts : radeontop / nvtop via dnf, amdgpu top via upstream RPM. rocminfo / amd-smi come from this tarball: $ROCM HOME/bin/rocminfo . - rocminfo: command not found - env not loaded: source ~/therock-tarball/env.sh new shells need the .bashrc line + reopen . - VERIFY FAILED from update.sh - check /tmp/rocminfo-verify-<VER .txt head output; GPU busy or HSA hiccup: just rerun ./update.sh <VER download is skipped, ./current is only flipped on success . - error while loading shared libraries when running built binaries - sudo ldconfig was missed after a flip, or the program was built against a deleted versions/<OLD : rebuild it. - Never mix Fedora rocm- dnf packages with this tarball. - Tarball + one extract ~= 4 GB. If disk bites, the big consumers on this box are ~/models + ~/.cache/huggingface , not ROCm.
