 Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2023 4:39 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Kernel 6.6.1 and Linux-firmware |
 |
|
I have tried updated today....
and when compiling kernel, got some errors about
missing firmware... as required by amdgpu/sienna_cichlid_dmcub.bin and amdgpu/sienna_cichlid_vcn.bin
so I have to remove this on my kernel drivers to load before compiling...
was dmcub and vcn not required anymore?
I have tried with edited linux-firmware and not edited firmware, stilll cant compile if I have those two added in my firmware loader part
so after compiled, on new kernel, 6.6.1, Hyprland wont load...so back to 6.6.0 again.
Im guessing those two are important

Ja.KooLit,

Those files have become symbolic links but they should still work for the build system, unless you don't have the target files as you didn't need them before.
If the symlinks are flashing Red, they point to nothing.

| If you still need help, please post the results of ls -l /lib/firmware/amdgpu/sienna_cichlid_* (to compare to what Neddy showed), the exact error messages, and the output of grep FIRMWARE /path/to/kernel/.config. |

Ja.KooLit,
The linux-firmware downgared will let the kernel build again but yo may have out of date amdgpu firmware.
One day. the old firmware will be gone. Find the real cause and fix in now,
What does | Code: | | ls -l /lib/firmware/amdgpu/beige_goby* |
return for you?
