I have the same issue, but with a Ryzen 7 1700 with the following setups: Setup 1: Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 Aorus M (Latest BIOS installed) RAM: 32 GB DDR4 Crucial 3000 Mhz GPU1: Sapphire Radeon RX 580 Nitro+ Special Edition 8GB GDDR5 GPU2: Asus Mining Radeon RX 470 4G GDDR5 SSD: 240 GB WD Green
Setup 2: Motherboard: ASRock AB350M Pro4 (Latest BIOS installed) RAM: 32 GB DDR4 Crucial 3000 Mhz GPU1: Sapphire Radeon RX 580 Nitro+ Special Edition 8GB GDDR5 GPU2: Sapphire Radeon RX 550 2G GDDR5 SSD: 240 GB WD Green The issue first started after installing the second GPU on each of the systems. I can't even boot the system, as the errors appear right after BIOS initialization. The errors are like: [exerpt] AMD-Vi: Completion-Wait loop timed out AMD-Vi: Completion-Wait loop timed out AMD-Vi: Completion-Wait loop timed out ... AMD-Vi: Event logged [IOTLB_INV_TIMEOUT device=22:00.0 address=0x0000000174bb7560] Entering emergecy mode. Exit the shell to continue. Type "journalctl" to view system logs. ....

After some research I discovered that it is a IOMMU issue. I turned IOMMU off on both motherboards, and I managed to boot the system. I am an architect and I use blender for GPU rendering (this is the idea of having two), but the AMDGPU-Pro driver from the AMD's website (the only one that Blender uses for GPU rendering, as it can't use the open one) affects the way Gnome works on Xorg. It affects in the way that it doesn't start at all, it keeps restarting to the GDM screen... Any ideas?

There are lots of AMD-Vi logged events and I get irq crashes or acpi hangups with a 'normal' boot. I got it to boot by disabling IOMMU in the BIOS and adding "iommu=soft" to the kernel booting options in grub. linux can then detect everything properly (all cores) and I've had zero crashes. The only issue is that it's using software IOMMU which could have a performance penalty because it has to copy all the data of some PCI devices to sub 4G regions. Alternatively it boots with the kernel option "acpi=off" but only detects a single core/thread. I attached a kernel log.
