AMD has recently released and updated version of the ROCm kernel drivers in version 6.1.1 with support for newer kernels up to versions 6.8.
You can install ROCm on Debian using the amdgpu installer:
wget https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/6.1.1/ubuntu/jammy/amdgpu-install_6.1.60101-1_all.deb
sudo apt install ./amdgpu-install_6.1.60101-1_all.deb
sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=graphics,rocmThe amdgpu dkms now works at least for Linux kernel version 6.8.9 & 6.8.10
To verify the install check the output of:
rocminfoAlso add your user to these groups and then reboot the system:
sudo usermod -a -G render,video $LOGNAMEIf something is not working properly, check out these notes about installing the previous version ROCm 5.7, which required more tinkering or check out the ROCm Linux installation manual.
