So, any news on this? I 'fixed' it by removing radeon from initramfs, but as has been pointed out, thats not really a solution!?
HI guys, This kms firmware issue revealed a bug in initcpio and firmware handling.
Would you mind to test a fix for the firmware loading? 2 files attached: This will load udevd before executing MODULES= - Replace /lib/initcpio/init and /lib/initcpio/hooks/udev - Remove the yourself created radeon hook from /etc/mkinitcpio.conf hooks array - Add radeon again to modules array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf - Recreate a test initrd with mkinitcpio -g test.img and launch this initrd from your bootloader. - Don't forget to reinstall original initcpio files after that! pacman -S initcpio
Thanks for your help. greetings tpowa
Hi, I've followed the above instructions (well, except I just go ahead and do a "mkinitcpio -p kernel26") and I'm glad to say that KMS early start method is now working fine again. :) Thanks for all the hard works, Tobias! Regards, Smith
