So the firmware is not loaded because you are not providing it properly. Not sure what you expect us to do about it. Note, if you have the driver built into kernel then you need to build the firmware in, too.

Thanks anyway.

Code:

#
# Firmware loader
#
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="nvidia/gp107/gr/sw_nonctx.bin"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"

I've recompiled my kernel with the configure above, but the problem remains the same. BTW, I'm using ~amd64 packages.
Thanks for your advice.

Check with uname -a if you are running the kernel you think you are.

Yes, the latest kernel is being run.

Latest like the latest kernel version or latest like the last one you compiled and installed?

Yes, I made this mistake before so I remember to run "grub-mkconfig" clearly.

Not what I was asking, can you confirm the date and time of running kernel is correct?
Code:
uname -v

I booted from 4.18.4 Kernel and everything worked fine. I think the problem was caused by some incorrect config about my intel GPU. I'm going to recompile the kernel and see if the problem still appears.

I've reinstalled the kernel from the default config, then invoked genkernel for a functioning kernel. Now it seems a little better, but the problem still exists. I'm completely sure that the kernel is the version desired.

I compared the performance between the two kernels, and found that the line complaining about "Direct firmware load for nvidia/gp107/gr/sw_ctx.bin failed with error -2" does no harm. It's just that nouveau drivers lack efficiency. I'm swithing to close-source drivers.

Thank you.
