WLS ROCm install problems: possibly no GPU devices

I've been trying to instal ROCm but when running command rocminfo I get this outcome:

libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:1657 kmod_module_new_from_loaded: could not open /proc/modules: No such file or directory
Error: could not get list of modules: No such file or directory
ROCk module is NOT loaded, possibly no GPU devices

And when running command clinfo command after installing it, I get this outcome, with 0 devices:

I'm working on a Windows device with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Kernel version 5.5.0. And I have AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics. The installation of ROCm was made as follows: I downloaded Kernel 5.5

wget kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.0/linux-headers-5.0.0-050000_5.0.0-050000.201903032031_all.deb
 
wget kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.0/linux-headers-5.0.0-050000-generic_5.0.0-050000.201903032031_amd64.deb
 
wget kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.0/linux-image-unsigned-5.0.0-050000-generic_5.0.0-050000.201903032031_amd64.deb
 
wget kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.0/linux-modules-5.0.0-050000-generic_5.0.0-050000.201903032031_amd64.deb


 sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-5.0.0*.deb linux-image-unsigned-5.0.0*.deb linux-modules-5.0.0*.deb

I rebooted the system and then downloaded and installed amdgpu-install:

$ sudo apt-get update

$ wget https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/21.40/ubuntu/bionic/amdgpu-install-21.40.40500-1_all.deb

$ sudo apt-get install ./amdgpu-install-21.40.40500-1_all.deb

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=opencl,rocm --no-dkms

Rebooted one more time. And added myself to the video group:

sudo usermod -a -G video $LOGNAME

I didn't get any error messages until running clinfo and rocminfo. Can somebody tell me what am I doing wrong? P.D: I'm trying to get ROCm OpenCl to use my GPU with GROMACS

While I don't have any AMD GPU systems with which to try this out (nor do I know for sure if ROCm works on WSL2), I see a few problems with your configuration.

First, you just say "Windows device", but not which Windows version, which is very important as a prerequisite here. For GPU Compute support in WSL2, you'll need either Windows 10 or the absolute latest release of Windows 10 (21H2, just released in the last few days). See this Microsoft devblog for some more information there. The focus seems to be on CUDA, but AMD also worked closely with Microsoft on this.

Second, check your actual kernel version with uname -a. I don't recall 5.5 ever being a WSL2 kernel release. According to the Microsoft docs, GPU Compute support was added in the 4.19.121 release of the WSL2 kernel. After that, there was a 5.4 release, and now we're on 5.10 as the latest WSL2 kernel.

And it's unlikely that the mainline Ubuntu kernel will help you anyway here. The ability for the Linux kernel to communicate with the Windows AMD device driver for GPU compute is a feature specific (as far as I know) to the Microsoft WSL2-fork of the kernel.

Finally, the stock WSL2 kernel doesn't support loadable modules. Since it sounds like ROCm installs as a module, you'll need to:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
