[SOLVED] Problem with AMDGPU: blank screen at boot

[Hu]

If you want to cheat a bit, but not use a separate editor as Neddy did, one option would be:

• cd /lib/firmware (or whatever directory you set for CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR). Important: you must cd to this directory, not a subdirectory, even if all the files you want to use are in the same subdirectory. This is required since you need the paths generated in the next step to be as seen from CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR.
• echo glob-to-select-required-files (in this case, perhaps amdgpu/polaris10*). You may use multiple globs or run multiple echos if there is no convenient glob that matches all files you want to include and no files you want to exclude.
• Inspect the result. If satisfactory, copy it to the X clipboard. Switch to the terminal running menuconfig, enter text input mode to name the files, then paste from the X clipboard instead of typing the filenames.

This lets you use only the supported tool to edit the configuration file, but spares you retyping the filenames.

Hu,

Live and learn, thank you.
