Here may be the interesting dmesg part when running the ATI Radeon 4350 PCI card on the K10 AGP host with Ubuntu 20.04 Focal and Linux 5.10-rc1 kernel. Note that those messages repeats infinitely and very quickly in a way the whole journal becomes full rapidly (dropping earlier entries): ``` [ 46.802991] trying to bind memory to uninitialized GART !
