I think you need around the 5.15 kernel.
I just went through the same on a new machine with Linux Mint. The old
Mint machine used an Intel chip. I used Clonezilla to move the
filesystem to the new machine with a Ryzen 5 and integrated Radeon
Graphics. The amdgpu driver would not load.
I finally tracked it down to the 5.4 kernel from the old machine and
Linux Mint 20.3. Once I ran the Mint upgrade to Mint 21, the upgrade
installed the 5.15 kernel, and video was Ok.
(Thanks to the folks on the Linux Mint forums for pointing me in the
right direction. I spent hours trying to get amdgpu to load).
