- 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 rocm-validation-suite, rocblas, rocrand, hip-runtime-amd,
hipblaslt, comgr to ISO (~700MB, needed for HIP compute)
- RunAMDStressPack: run RVS GST (SGEMM ~31 TFLOPS/GPU) + bandwidth test
- Add rvs symlink in chroot setup hook
- Pin all new package versions in VERSIONS
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add rocm-bandwidth-test package to ISO
- Add bee user to 'render' group (/dev/kfd, /dev/dri/renderD* access)
- Add rocm-bandwidth-test symlink alongside rocm-smi

- 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)

Move datacenter-gpu-manager and rocm-smi-lib from dynamic chroot hooks
into live-build's config/archives mechanism so lb caches the .deb files
in cache/packages.chroot/ between builds, eliminating repeated 900+ MB
downloads. Versions pinned via VERSIONS and substituted into package
lists at build time.

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.

grub-pc and grub-efi-amd64 conflict with each other in Debian 12.
The -bin packages provide the same grub-install binaries without conflict.

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

- firmware-amd-graphics: Aldebaran firmware blobs (fixes amdgpu IB ring
test errors on MI250/MI250X at boot)
- 9001-amd-rocm.hook.chroot: adds AMD ROCm 6.4 apt repo and installs
rocm-smi-lib for GPU monitoring (analogous to nvidia-smi)

stress-ng was missing from the LiveCD — CPU acceptance test exited
immediately with rc=1 because the binary was not found.

exFAT is the default filesystem on USB drives >32GB sold today.
Without exfatprogs, mount fails silently and export to such drives is broken.
ntfs-3g covers Windows-formatted drives.

- nvtop launched concurrently with SAT via tea.ExecProcess; can reopen or abort
- GPU metrics collected per-second during bee-gpu-stress (temp/usage/power/clock)
- Outputs: gpu-metrics.csv, gpu-metrics.html (offline SVG), gpu-metrics-term.txt
- Terminal chart: asciigraph-style line chart with box-drawing chars and ANSI colours
- AUDIT_VERSION bumped 0.1.1 → 1.0.0; nvtop added to ISO package list
- runtime-flows.md updated with full NVIDIA SAT TUI flow documentation
