What is the issue?

When the script finds NVIDIA GPU software, it just exits.

defbf9425a/scripts/install.sh (L189-L192)

But in theory, a system can have multiple GPU's from multiple vendors.

In my example. I removed exit 0 from the script so it would install additional stuff for my AMD GPU.

OS

Linux

GPU

Nvidia, AMD

CPU

AMD

Ollama version

0.3.12

Is what your asking for is install.sh to install of of the drivers for all of the GPUs detected not just stop after it checks if nvidia's are preinstalled, I don't think that install.sh does anything to specify which GPU to actually use once it's installed?

This will require a more invasive update to the install script to get right. Our device check incorrectly identifies AMD motherboards and as potentially having AMD GPUs, so simply removing the exit will result in many users downloading ROCm dependencies unnecessarily. One concept I've been considering is building upon #7262 and utilize ollama itself to do initial discovery then conditionally download the bundle(s) for the supported GPUs we find.

Also like for NVIDIA we're checking nvidia-smi, for AMD we can check rocminfo, at least as a clue, because there's no guarantee that it exists but if it is, there's a very high chance that we're interested in ROCm
