well, today i (partially) realized why my basic drivers don’t work: the preinstalled packages amdgpu and amdgpu-dkms seem to not work due to amdgpu-dkms being unconfigured. tried configuring it and got the same error. around about there my system stopped using even the iGPU and i had to uninstall some other drivers (thanks @lena@gregtech.eu )

      Have you enabled Southern Islands support as a kernel parameter? Your generation of GPU was originally supported on radeon, so you need to explicitly enable SI (Southern Islands) support to use amdgpu.

      See ArchWiki for more information
