I've built kernel 2.6.32rc8git1. My ati/radeon drm modules now requires its own firmware that will be part of new kernel26-firmware pkg.
And we need to fix mkinitcpio to include that firmware for kms early mode that now fails due to missing firmware. It did not help to add FILES="/lib/firmware/radeon/R300_cp.bin" :( - maybe we need a new hook for that.
did you enable the firmware hook?
I wonder how all of this will work on my HD3200
Didn't know about that hook. Found it now in the Wiki. Added it. The FW is now picked up but early mode is still hanging when loading the fw. Maybe you can try it yourself. -Andy
