📄 Description

Clarify server requirements for ROCm installation and usage.

Description

A user unfamiliar with machine learning and ROCm setup in general might not know that a specific kernel module needs to be installed on the server. Without this module enabling accelerated processing (step-by-step as in this manual) would just produce a non-descriptive error message about NULL buffers.

A user may also stumble into the module signing issues if they have Secure Boot active in the BIOS. This can stop their server from properly booting or from using the new module, so it is useful to point people in the right direction.

How Has This Been Tested?

Just did a clean Immich installation on a fresh Debian server and validated that this is all that is needed for ROCm setup to work.
