It's not the first time I have to deal with this error but this time I can't fix it.

With 3.10.41-r1 everything works, it's more than a year that I try to update the kernel but still get this error.

Since often this error is caused by some framebuffer conflict, I compared the config files and found this difference:

CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m

I tried to change it manually but it keeps adding it before compiling.

Any ideas?

Tried again, this time with 3.14.48 importing the old config and manually checking differences, still same behaviour:

CONFIG_DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER is forced to yes and I can't find any other difference (maybe this isn't the problem btw).

With 3.10.41-r1 /proc/fb contains "0 radeondrmfb", from 3.14.48 /proc/fb is blank.

Loaded modules are the same, at least names:

You want to use binary driver but you have device claimed by kernel opensource driver. I think there is a Wiki article about setting up ATI?

Ska` · Post by **Ska`** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 7:01 pm

Yes, there is (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon), but I can't figure out why the same exact config file doesn't work anymore

Could you please explain how do you see that thing?

Ska` · Post by **Ska`** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 7:28 pm

Looks like it was a firmware problem: I switched from sys-kernel/linux-firmware to sys-firmware/radeon-ucode and finally it works, I'm gonna try with 4.0.5.

Update

4.0.5 finally works too.

I noticed that I had CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER enabled and that it was renamed to CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK and disabled by default, not sure if it was related but it could be.

Hope this helps someone.
