The problem with default.target is that it always points to the target that is currently started. So if you boot into single user mode or the rescue mode still Ollama tries to start.
I noticed this because either tried (and failed) to start all the time during a system update, where Ollama definitely is not wanted.
* llama: wire up builtin runner
This adds a new entrypoint into the ollama CLI to run the cgo built runner.
On Mac arm64, this will have GPU support, but on all other platforms it will
be the lowest common denominator CPU build. After we fully transition
to the new Go runners more tech-debt can be removed and we can stop building
the "default" runner via make and rely on the builtin always.
* build: Make target improvements
Add a few new targets and help for building locally.
This also adjusts the runner lookup to favor local builds, then
runners relative to the executable, and finally payloads.
* Support customized CPU flags for runners
This implements a simplified custom CPU flags pattern for the runners.
When built without overrides, the runner name contains the vector flag
we check for (AVX) to ensure we don't try to run on unsupported systems
and crash. If the user builds a customized set, we omit the naming
scheme and don't check for compatibility. This avoids checking
requirements at runtime, so that logic has been removed as well. This
can be used to build GPU runners with no vector flags, or CPU/GPU
runners with additional flags (e.g. AVX512) enabled.
* Use relative paths
If the user checks out the repo in a path that contains spaces, make gets
really confused so use relative paths for everything in-repo to avoid breakage.
* Remove payloads from main binary
* install: clean up prior libraries
This removes support for v0.3.6 and older versions (before the tar bundle)
and ensures we clean up prior libraries before extracting the bundle(s).
Without this change, runners and dependent libraries could leak when we
update and lead to subtle runtime errors.
* Added instructions to easily install specific versions on faq.md
* Small typo
* Moved instructions on how to install specific version to linux.md
* Update docs/linux.md
* Update docs/linux.md

The recent ROCm change partially removed idempotent
payloads, but the ggml-metal.metal file for mac was still
idempotent. This finishes switching to always extract
the payloads, and now that idempotentcy is gone, the
version directory is no longer useful.
This refines where we extract the LLM libraries to by adding a new
OLLAMA_HOME env var, that defaults to `~/.ollama` The logic was already
idempotenent, so this should speed up startups after the first time a
new release is deployed. It also cleans up after itself.
We now build only a single ROCm version (latest major) on both windows
and linux. Given the large size of ROCms tensor files, we split the
dependency out. It's bundled into the installer on windows, and a
separate download on windows. The linux install script is now smart and
detects the presence of AMD GPUs and looks to see if rocm v6 is already
present, and if not, then downloads our dependency tar file.
For Linux discovery, we now use sysfs and check each GPU against what
ROCm supports so we can degrade to CPU gracefully instead of having
llama.cpp+rocm assert/crash on us. For Windows, we now use go's windows
dynamic library loading logic to access the amdhip64.dll APIs to query
the GPU information.
After executing the `userdel ollama` command, I saw this message:
```sh
$ sudo userdel ollama
userdel: group ollama not removed because it has other members.
```
Which reminded me that I had to remove the dangling group too. For completeness, the uninstall instructions should do this too.
Thanks!
