When 8 john processes start simultaneously they race for GPU memory during
OpenCL GWS auto-tuning. Slower devices settle on a smaller work size (~594MiB
vs 762MiB) and run at 40% instead of 100% load. Add 3s sleep between launches
so each instance finishes memory allocation before the next one starts.

- bee-john-gpu-stress: spawn one john process per OpenCL device in parallel
so all GPUs are stressed simultaneously instead of only device 1
- bee-openbox-session: --start-fullscreen → --start-maximized to fix blank
white page on first render in fbdev environment
- storage collector: skip Virtual HDisk* devices reported by BMC/iDRAC

- nvidia collector: read pcie.link.gen.current/max from nvidia-smi instead
of sysfs to avoid false Gen1 readings when GPU is in ASPM idle state
- build: remove bee-nccl-gpu-stress from rm -f list so shell script from
overlay is not silently dropped from the ISO
- smoketest: add explicit checks for bee-gpu-burn, bee-john-gpu-stress,
bee-nccl-gpu-stress, all_reduce_perf
- netconf: re-exec via sudo when not root to fix RTNETLINK/resolv.conf errors
- auto/config: reduce loglevel 7→3 to show clean systemd output on boot
- auto/config: blacklist snd_hda_intel and related audio modules (unused on servers)
- package-lists: remove firmware-intel-sound and firmware-amd-graphics from
base list; move firmware-amd-graphics to bee-amd variant only
- bible-local: mark memtest ADR resolved, document working solution

- Burn tab: replace 6 flat cards with 3 grouped cards (GPU Stress,
Compute Stress, Platform Thermal Cycling) + global Burn Profile
- Run All button at top enqueues all enabled tests across all cards
- GPU Stress: tool checkboxes enabled/disabled via new /api/gpu/tools
endpoint based on driver status (/dev/nvidia0, /dev/kfd)
- Compute Stress: checkboxes for cpu/memory-stress/stressapptest
- Platform Thermal Cycling: component checkboxes (cpu/nvidia/amd)
with platform_components param wired through to PlatformStressOptions
- bee-gpu-burn: default size-mb changed from 64 to 0 (auto); script
now queries nvidia-smi memory.total per GPU and uses 95% of it
- platform_stress: removed hardcoded --size-mb 64; respects Components
field to selectively run CPU and/or GPU load goroutines

live-build picks up ALL .list.chroot files in config/package-lists/.
After rsync, bee-nvidia.list.chroot, bee-amd.list.chroot, and
bee-nogpu.list.chroot all end up in BUILD_WORK_DIR — causing lb to
try installing packages from every variant (and leaving version
placeholders unsubstituted in the unused lists).
Fix: after copying bee-${BEE_GPU_VENDOR}.list.chroot → bee-gpu.list.chroot,
delete all other bee-{nvidia,amd,nogpu}.list.chroot from BUILD_WORK_DIR.
Also includes nomsi boot mode changes (bee-nvidia-load + grub.cfg).

- build.sh: add --variant nvidia|amd; separate work dirs per variant
(live-build-work-nvidia / live-build-work-amd); GPU-specific steps
(modules, NCCL, cuBLAS, nccl-tests) run only for nvidia; deb package
cache synced back to shared location after each lb build so second
variant reuses downloaded packages; ISO output named
easy-bee-{variant}-v{ver}-amd64.iso
- build-in-container.sh: add --variant nvidia|amd|all (default: all);
runs build.sh twice in one container for 'all'; --clean-build wipes
both variant work dirs
- package-lists: remove GPU packages from bee.list.chroot; add
bee-nvidia.list.chroot (DCGM) and bee-amd.list.chroot (ROCm)
- 9000-bee-setup hook: read /etc/bee-gpu-vendor; enable bee-nvidia.service
and DCGM only for nvidia; set up ROCm symlinks only for amd
- auto/config: --iso-volume uses BEE_GPU_VENDOR_UPPER env var
- grub.cfg: add nomodeset to EASY-BEE and EASY-BEE (load to RAM) entries
— fixes X/lightdm on BMC KVM (ASPEED AST chip requires nomodeset for
fbdev to work; NVIDIA H100 compute does not need KMS)
- bee.sh / smoketest.sh: add /usr/sbin to PATH so dmidecode, smartctl,
nvme are found
- 9100-memtest hook: add diagnostic listing of chroot/boot/memtest* files

- Add udev rule: /dev/ipmi0 readable by 'ipmi' group (no sudo needed)
- Add 'ipmi' group creation and bee user membership in chroot hook
- Remove legend from all charts (data shown in GPU table below)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Without these modules /dev/ipmi0 doesn't exist and ipmitool can't
read fan RPM, PSU fans, or IPMI temperature sensors.

- bee-web.service: remove After=bee-audit so Go starts immediately
- Go serves loading page from / when audit JSON not yet present;
JS polls /api/ready (503 until file exists, 200 when ready)
then redirects to dashboard
- bee-openbox-session: wait for /healthz (Go binds fast <2s),
open http://localhost/ directly — no file:// cross-origin issues
- Remove loading.html static file
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace 15s blocking wait with instant Chromium launch showing a
dark loading page that polls /healthz every 500ms and auto-redirects
to the app when ready.

- Task queue: all SAT/audit jobs enqueue and run one-at-a-time;
tasks persist past page navigation; new Tasks page with cancel/priority/log stream
- UI: consolidate nav (Validate, Burn, Tasks, Tools); Audit becomes modal;
Dashboard hardware summary badges + split metrics charts (load/temp/power);
Tools page consolidates network, services, install, support bundle
- AMD GPU: acceptance test and stress burn cards; GPU presence API greys
out irrelevant SAT cards automatically
- Burn tests: Memory Stress (stress-ng --vm), SAT Stress (stressapptest)
- Install to RAM: copies squashfs to /dev/shm, re-associates loop devices
via LOOP_CHANGE_FD ioctl so live media can be ejected
- Charts: relative time axis (0 = now, negative left)
- memtester: LimitMEMLOCK=infinity in bee-web.service; empty output → UNSUPPORTED
- SAT overlay applied dynamically on every /audit.json serve
- MIME panic guard for LiveCD ramdisk I/O errors
- ISO: add memtest86+, stressapptest packages; memtest86+ GRUB entry;
disable screensaver/DPMS in bee-openbox-session
- Unknown SAT status severity = 1 (does not override OK)

- All prompts accept 'a' = abort, 'b' = back to previous step
- Interface input: validate numeric range and name existence, re-prompt on bad input
- IP address: regex check x.x.x.x/prefix format
- Gateway: regex check x.x.x.x format
- Main loop: 'b' at mode selection goes back to interface list

On real server hardware (IPMI/BMC AST chip + nomodeset) the VESA
framebuffer is set by BIOS at whatever resolution it chooses (often
1024x768 or 1280x1024). The hardcoded 1920x1080 Modeline caused X to
fail → LightDM crash-loop → SOL console flooded with systemd messages.
- Remove Monitor section / Modeline from xorg.conf — fbdev now uses
whatever framebuffer resolution the kernel provides
- Add lightdm.service.d/bee-limits.conf: RestartSec=10,
max 3 restarts per 60s so headless hardware doesn't spam the console

User sees a numbered list but could only type the name.

- Add video=1920x1080 to kernel cmdline (sets fbdev to Full HD)
- Update GRUB gfxmode to 1920x1080 (fallback to 1280x1024,auto)
- Add Xorg Monitor section with 1920x1080 Modeline and preferred mode

startx from user shell has /dev/fb0 permission issues and is fragile.
LightDM starts Xorg as root — standard LiveCD approach that works
on server hardware / IPMI KVM with nomodeset + fbdev/vesa.
- Add lightdm package, configure autologin as bee/openbox session
- Add /usr/share/xsessions/openbox.desktop
- Remove startx from .profile (LightDM manages X lifecycle)
- Remove Xwrapper.config needs_root_rights workaround (no longer needed)
- Enable lightdm.service in setup hook

startx from autologin shell targets VT1 directly — KVM sees the
graphical UI without VT switching. Remove bee-desktop.service
(systemd-launched X defaults to VT7, invisible on KVM).
Add xserver-xorg-video-fbdev for server AST/VGA framebuffer.

Copies the live system to a local disk via unsquashfs — no debootstrap,
no network required. Supports UEFI (GPT+EFI) and BIOS (MBR) layouts.
ISO:
- Add squashfs-tools, parted, grub-pc, grub-efi-amd64 to package list
- New overlay script bee-install: partitions, formats, unsquashfs,
writes fstab, runs grub-install+update-grub in chroot
Go TUI:
- Settings → Tools submenu (Install to disk, Check tools)
- Disk picker screen: lists non-USB, non-boot disks via lsblk
- Confirm screen warns about data loss
- Runs with live progress tail of /tmp/bee-install.log
- platform/install.go: ListInstallDisks, InstallToDisk, findLiveBootDevice

console=tty0 sent kernel messages to the active VT (tty1), overwriting
the TUI. Changed to console=tty2 so kernel logs land on a dedicated
console. tty1 is now clean; operator can press Alt+F2 to inspect kernel
messages and Alt+F3 for an extra shell.

loglevel=3 was hiding all kernel messages on tty0/ttyS0 except errors.
Machine crashes (panics, driver oops, module failures) were silent on VGA.
Restored loglevel=7 so kernel messages up to debug are printed to both
tty0 (VGA) and ttyS0 (SOL). Journald MaxLevelConsole reduced to info
(was debug) to reduce noise on SOL while keeping it useful.

- build-nvidia-module.sh: copy libnvidia-ptxjitcompiler.so.* alongside
libcuda/libnvidia-ml — required by cuModuleLoadDataEx for PTX JIT.
Without it: CUDA_ERROR_JIT_COMPILER_NOT_FOUND at runtime.
Cache check updated to force rebuild when ptxjitcompiler is missing.
- bee-nvidia-load: run ldconfig after module load so that NVIDIA/NCCL
libs injected into /usr/lib/ are visible to dlopen() callers.

isGPUDevice matched all AMD vendor PCIe devices (SATA, crypto coprocessors,
PCIe dummies) because of a broad strings.Contains(vendor,"amd") check.
Remove it — AMD Instinct/Radeon GPUs are caught by ProcessingAccelerator /
DisplayController class. Also exclude ASPEED (BMC VGA adapter).
Add clear before bee-tui to avoid dirty terminal output.

Without a keepalive the kernel watchdog timer expires and reboots
the host mid-audit. Configuring RuntimeWatchdogSec lets systemd PID 1
reset /dev/watchdog every 30 s — well within the typical 60 s timeout.
