The Ryzen 3000 Boot Problem With Newer Linux Distros Might Be Due To RdRand Issue

[morydris]

Just to summarize this: rdrand not working is not a CPU bug, but a BIOS bug, according to https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/[email protected]/

Other here report that BIOS fixes will be forthcoming.

I find it appealing that AMD and their partners didn't catch this a long time ago as this issue has been known for almost a year.

on consumer hardware none gives a crap about more than the bare minimum needed to boot Windows, and servers (the class of hardware where there is indeed some validation going on) don't suspend so I doubt anyone even tried that.
