What is the issue?

Is MI50 supported by Ollama?

It is listed as supported on linux in gpu.md but ollama says:

Relevant log output

@ridvan70 it looks like you have installed your own copy of ROCm 6.4 instead of using our bundled version (currently 6.3.3). AMD has removed support for this older GPU in ROCm 6.4 - https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/latest/reference/system-requirements.html so even though we compile support for it, at runtime, that support is being disabled on your system based on the ROCm library we discover. If you switch to an older ROCm, the GPU should continue to work. Be aware that we will be upgrading to 6.4 soon to pick up newer GPU support, so you will likely have to build from source and use an older ROCm eventually to continue having support for this GPU.

6.3.3 shows this GPU as deprecated, but still supported: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/docs-6.3.3/reference/system-requirements.html

@dhiltgen Yes, indeed. AMD ROCm documentation guides you to the installation of the latest version, which was the 6.4.x in my case.

Will it still be possible to use a specific version of ROCm with future releases of Ollama packaged with newer ROCm versions?

I believe you'll have to build from source. Once we move to 6.4, my expectation is the gfx906 target will trigger an error and we'll have to remove it, so the resulting binary code wont be included.
