In order to install only the DKMS, which is a minimal requirement for launching containers with GPU access, use the dkms use case:

sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=dkms

To verify the kernel installation, use this command:

Uninstalling amdgpu-install#

After uninstalling the driver, remove the amdgpu-install package from system.

sudo zypper remove amdgpu-install

Remove AMDGPU repositories#

# Clear the cache and clean the system
sudo zypper clean --all
sudo zypper refresh

# Restart the system
sudo reboot
