Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2015-03-26 12:14:58 UTC
Otherwise,with current stable, some firmwares used with stable kernel 3.18 fail to load,like, for example:
mar 26 11:34:16 localhost kernel: [drm] radeon: 256M of VRAM memory ready
mar 26 11:34:16 localhost kernel: [drm] radeon: 512M of GTT memory ready.
mar 26 11:34:16 localhost kernel: [drm] Loading RV620 Microcode
mar 26 11:34:16 localhost kernel: radeon 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for radeon/R600_rlc.bin failed with error -2
mar 26 11:34:16 localhost kernel: r600_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeon/R600_rlc.bin"
mar 26 11:34:16 localhost kernel: [drm:r600_init] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!
mar 26 11:34:16 localhost kernel: radeon 0000:01:00.0: Fatal error during GPU init

Thanks

radeon/R600_rlc.bin is already part of the current stable linux-firmware-20140902. The only radeon related change since then is for the amdkfd driver in kernel >=3.19.

Arches, please stabilize sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20150206
Comment 3 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2015-03-26 13:29:54 UTC
Stable for alpha/amd64/arm/hppa/ia64/ppc64/ppc/sparc/x86

Yeah, you are true... it's sadly still failing with the same even if the firmware is there :S 

Not sure what is occurring... (it's always the same with ATI :S)

If you have radeon built-in, you also need the firmware built into your kernel: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon#Firmware

Thanks a lot Chí-Thanh, it worked :)
