Bug 619364 – sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.11.0 fails to load i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin firmware (even if installed)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Pacho Ramos 2017-05-22 12:08:38 UTC]

I have that firmware installed from linux-firmware package:
$ ls -l /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8616 abr  3 18:29 /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin

But I see this in dmesg:

I am running kernel 4.11.0

Thanks a lot

Please post the output of "emerge -pv xorg-server"
Are you running X as non-root or is something else special with your setup?

[Comment 2 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn 2017-05-22 12:17:13 UTC]

Ah wait, this looks like a kernel issue and not X related. Make sure that the firmware files are available at the time when the i915 module is loaded.

[Comment 3 Mart Raudsepp 2017-05-22 12:18:30 UTC]

Is the i915 kernel driver builtin or as a module? Timestamps suggest builtin?
If it's builtin, then the firmware has to be builtin as well into the kernel or included in initramfs. If built as module and module is included in initramfs, then the firmware needs to be as well

[Comment 4 Pacho Ramos 2017-05-22 13:02:58 UTC]

Yeah sorry, it was my fault, I forgot to list the firmwares properly to get them compiled into the kernel :S

I still see this errors... but I guess they are a different issue :/

$ emerge -Opv xorg-server

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Thanks!

we can close this bug ?

[Comment 6 Pacho Ramos 2017-05-23 22:17:58 UTC]

sure (at least for the original one)
