 # 9001-amd-rocm.hook.chroot — install AMD ROCm SMI tool for Instinct GPU monitoring.
 # Runs inside the live-build chroot. Adds AMD's apt repository and installs
 # rocm-smi-lib which provides the `rocm-smi` CLI (analogous to nvidia-smi).
+#
+# AMD does NOT publish Debian Bookworm packages. The repo uses Ubuntu codenames
+# (jammy/noble). We use jammy (Ubuntu 22.04) — its packages install cleanly on
+# Debian 12 (Bookworm) due to compatible glibc/libstdc++.
+# Tried versions newest-first; falls back if a point release is missing.
