What is the issue?

Hello,

I got started running ollama on NixOS and very quickly found that it wasn't using my RX 7900 XTX. Here's the discussion where we troubleshot the issue and found a solution. The discussion at time of writing does include even some straces and the debug output from a running server with the problem. The user "rjpc" believes the issue is in 475333d533/discover/amd_linux.go (L22) not being flexible in a way amenable to how NixOS abstracts its runtime.

OS

Linux

GPU

AMD

CPU

AMD

Ollama version

0.3.12

This appears to have been resolved by setting HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION.
