hi
The driver is not able to find the vbios image which is required for
the driver to properly enumerate the hardware. I would guess it's a
platform issue. Is there a newer sbios image available for your
platform?
...
I would start with an sbios update is possible.
not that i'm aware.
this board is an ASRockRack X470D4U server board
https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=X470D4U#Specifications
latest BIOS

is,
4.20 8/12/2021 BIOS
which is installed,
dmidecode | grep "BIOS Information" -A5

check if there are any options in the
sbios regarding the behavior of the integrated graphics when an
external GPU is present. I suspect the one of the following is the
problem:
1. The sbios should disable the integrated graphics when a dGPU is
present, but due to a bug in the sbios or a particular sbios settings
it has failed to.
2. The sbios should be providing a vbios image for the integrated
graphics, but due to a bug in the sbios or a particular sbios settings
it has failed to.
3. The platform uses some alternative method to provide access to the
vbios image for the integrated graphics that Linux does not yet
handle.
Checking on the specific options for Dual/Concurrent GPU support is ...
challenging ... so far.
I haven't found a clear statement/doc on how it's intended to behave, what
options are available, or details on the individual options.
Per a chat late last week with ASRockRack, my understanding is that dual CPU
support is *supposed* to work.
atm, I'm not clear on how specifically test/answer for any of your suspected
issues :-/
Reading online to see what to check, etc.
To add to the list - check if ACPI support is broken or skipped.
It doesn't appear to me to be; here's dmesg output,
dmesg | grep -i acpi
