 Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2018 4:59 am Post subject: unable to get kernel modesetting working on a radeon r7 250 |
 |
|
ive tried a bunch of different things on the wiki page, and so far none of it has worked.
im currently using kernel version 4.14.83 from sys-kernel/gentoo-sources, i tried enabling all the available options that the wiki said to.
ive tried enabling a bunch of different firmware and so far none of it has worked:
ive tried using none at all, that didnt work.
| Code: | | amdgpu/oland_{ce,k_smc,mc,me,mec2,mec,pfp,rlc,sdma1,sdma,smc,uvd,vce}.bin |
but i think it said something like there was no make files found for some of them so i ended up just trying
| Code: | | oland_ce.bin, oland_k_smc.bin, oland_mc.bin, oland_me.bin, oland_pfp.bin, oland_rlc.bin, oland_smc.bin |
both from /lib/firmware/radeon and /lib/firmware/amdgpu and neither worked.
i have also tried using this
| Code: | | radeon/{verde_{ce,mc,me,pfp,rlc,smc},TAHITI_{uvd,vce}}.bin |
and it didnt work either. i also tried all that but in the amdgpu folder, but it couldnt find the TAHITI ones so i tried without that too, but that didnt work either.
basically nothing i have tried so far has worked. i also tried using a bunch of different kernel version before and none of that worked either, though i dont remember well what all i tried then.
im also completely unable to use the x server at all.
what can i do to fix this? |

berardel,
Please pastebin the following
Your dmesg output, if you get that far.
Your kernel .config.
Post the output of
Explain how you build and install your kernel.
This will tell us about your hardware and how your kernel is configured to match it.
We need to know how you build your kernel as its easy to leave out a kernel build or install step.
If you get a console at all with your new kernel, what does tell?

Maybe you are writting the syntax incorrectly (maybe)
Here how it should look (example of my .config with firmware loaded for my nvidia)
| Code: | cat /usr/src/linux/.config |grep EXTRA
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="nvidia/gp107/gr/fecs_bl.bin nvidia/gp107/gr/fecs_data.bin nvidia/gp107/gr/fecs_inst.bin nvidia/gp107/gr/fecs_sig.bin nvidia/gp107/gr/gpccs_bl.bin nvidia/gp107/gr/gpccs_data.bin nvidia/gp107/gr/gpccs_inst.bin nvidia/gp107/gr/gpccs_sig.bin nvidia/gp107/gr/sw_ctx.bin nvidia/gp107/gr/sw_nonctx.bin"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware" |

i do get a command line interface, though its in something like 640x480 resolution.
heres how i configure the kernel :
1. go to /usr/src/linux and execute "make menuconfig" and configure it
2. after configuring it i close it and save the config changes and then run "make" in that same directory
3. execute "make modules_install"
4. execute "make install"
5. execute "genkernel --install initramfs"
6. execute "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
7. then reboot
heres the ouputs/files you asked for:
kernel config:

dmesg output:

lspci output:

Your kernel doesn't actually have the firmware. |

berardel,
| Code: | [ 0.556561] amdgpu 0000:41:00.0: Direct firmware load for radeon/oland_mc.bin failed with error -2
[ 0.556700] amdgpu 0000:41:00.0: si_mc: Failed to load firmware "radeon/oland_mc.bin"
[ 0.556836] amdgpu 0000:41:00.0: Failed to load mc firmware!
[ 0.556933] [drm:amdgpu_device_init] *ERROR* sw_init of IP block <gmc_v6_0> failed -2 |
That's one of the missing firmware files ... then it gave up.
Reconfigure the kernel with the required firmware and pastebin the config again.
You can do the build and test if you want.
Your kernel build process is missing the step. Not everyone requires it but if you need it and don't do it, things are silently installed to the wrong place.
What in the date/time in I get
| Code: | $ uname -a
Linux NeddySeagoon_Static 4.19.0-gentoo #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Oct 25 19:29:44 BST 2018 x86_64 AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux |
Its the build date and time of the running kernel. If it looks too old, that a pointer to not mounting /boot for the kernel install.
You have a | Code: | | [Radeon HD 8670 / R7 250/350] [1002:6610] |
This page confirms that amdgpu is correct for you.

isnt this for using UEFI to boot?
i only use BIOS though since UEFI has given me alot of problems in the past.
also i just tried to try enabling all the amdgpu firmware that had oland in the name and i got this:
| Code: |
alimonycenter ~ # dmesg | grep failed
[ 0.000000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed

CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware/amdgpu"
# CONFIG_SYSTEM_EXTRA_CERTIFICATE is not set
alimonycenter ~ #
|
also the creation date for the kernel is what it should be |

berardel,
You are providing the firmware in | Code: | | CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware/amdgpu" |
The driver is looking for radeon/oland_mc.bin | Code: | | Direct firmware load for radeon/oland_mc.bin failed with error -2 |
The /lib/firmware/amdgpu/<your_file_list> directory structure is preserved inside the kernel.
If you don't provide radeon, it won't be found.

alright i just included all the oland ones in both amdgpu and radeon and it worked, thanks. |
