#1 Re: Other Issues » Firmware update for AMD GPU's doesn't load on startup » 2023-12-24 20:22:06

So just generally what I've done from here since posting this as an attempted fix.

I've tried doing "sudo apt install isenkram" and then "sudo isenkram-auto-install firmware" which does mention some issues with missing firmware for firmware-amd-graphics, but it still doesn't work.

I've tried upgrading to a higher branch like Devuan Ceres in hopes that I can do a big version jump and move to a rolling release style, but I still get the same problem when I move to the highest package of the AMDGPU and I'm again forced to revert back to when this first started.

The problem is quite simply, I update my system to include the following now-held packages, but it just causes my graphics card to not initialize and I'm still left with a text-only input where I have to do startx in order to get to a desktop environment.

okkvltisch@supreme-overlord:~$ sudo apt-mark showhold
firmware-amd-graphics
firmware-iwlwifi
firmware-linux
firmware-linux-nonfree
firmware-misc-nonfree
firmware-realtek

I can't install just one or all but one of these packages as when I do, they all ask for the rest. It's either all or none.

Another thing I've tried is running update-initramfs in various combinations at various times before, during or after the upgrade but still with indifferent results.

Does anyone have a solution to this at this point, because I really don't want to reinstall my OS but it's looking like I might have to, as this installation was one that was migrated from Daedalus to Excalibur/Ceres simply so I could have maximum support for my new card. I'm only now realizing however, that Phoronix reports that I simply need kernel 6.0+ and Mesa 22.2+ to run this card and max capacity, whereas right now I'm on kernel 6.5+ and Mesa 22.3, and Debian/Devuan stable does offer those 7900XTX supporing versions, I'd just prefer to have all features enabled for this card.

Thanks.

Hi, I wasn't the original poster in this thread, however the usrmerge issue did prevent firmware for my AMD gpu and for my network card from being loaded (back in early December 2023).

Since then firmware-amd-graphics has been updated again:

Thu, Dec 21 2023 22:15:16 +1030
[UPGRADE] firmware-amd-graphics:amd64 20230625-1 -> 20230625-2

What did you have to do? I'm getting close to reinstalling my OS as I want to use this GPU that I spent nearly $1k on, granted I can use it just fine, but I'd like to continue getting support and newer features without breakage everytime I upgrade...

Thanks.

Hello,

Based on previous issues I've had, I'm going to assume this is another one where it's the waiting game. But I only post this here in hopes that someone has possibly found a solution, even if temporary or some kind of workaround.

I recently upgraded my GPU to a 7900XTX (because why not) from ASRock and I wanted to ensure I had full support when it came to fully utilizing the card. So, naturally to ensure this I moved from Devuan Daedalus (stable at the time) to Excalibur/Ceres. Outside of a few other issues which I've worked around successfully and moved on from, things have been great. I have full support for everything on my new card and games run fantastic.

However, on December 15th I updated my system to include the following packages: (apologies if the paste doesn't work out)

All package updates went through without error besides the sudo change message. However, upon restarting my system, the AMDGPU drivers and related packages don't boot and I'm left with a 4:3 scale resolution on a normally 2560x1440p monitor after manually running "startx" after login.

Specifically, the error is: "[drm:amdgpu_pci_probe [amdgpu]] *ERROR* amdgpu requires firmware installed", obviously the thing is, all necessary packages are installed and went in without error. I manually selected only to update firmware-amd-graphics and it requested to do the whole firmware group with the same timestamps of 20230515-3 to 20230625-1, and after rebooting this is where the issue occurs.

This isn't much of a problem for me right now, as I have Timeshift set to make a root and home backup every hour to a seperate drive, so I just reverted back to the last working snapshots. It is just again seeing if there is a workaround/solution or if it's just the waiting game like the eudev/libgudev issue a few months back. I normally update on this branch every Friday night, so if there is anything I need to do on the weekends I have time to address it, especially when the work week is over.

Appreciate any input, thanks.

Just did an update like normal on Excalibur/Ceres on my main desktop (5950X, 7900XTX) and this round of updates wants to remove Network-Manager?????

Ran the update just to see what would happen and confirmed I didn't have internet afterwards.

No worries as I rolled back via Timeshift, just just genuinely curious as to why the the ball was just dropped so hard here... Like I understand this is basically Debian Testing and things happen, but internet access just being removed????

Nobody here is required to answer, just wondering why this low of a low has been reached when the bar itself is already so low for this project.

Thanks...

Glad you found the solution and I did the same.

So did you just pin the version of it to 237? How long would you guess it takes for a fix to be made?

Literally a saving grace for linking that.

Thank you so much.

Hello, I'm new to this forum, but I've been using Devuan for about the past two years without major issues.

Recently though, when I go to update/upgrade my system, upon reboot following it I can no longer type or move my mouse. All mouse and keyboard input seems to be cut off. I've used Timeshift to restore before the update and confirmed that it's one of the packages in this list that is causing the issue, thought I can't be sure which one.

I know it's Devuan/Debian Testing, but again I've been on this branch for the past two years without issue and I just moved to Excalibur/Ceres after a large update.

Using a different Kernel doesn't matter, the issue only happens after installing this batch of packages.

System specs:

GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 6800/6800 XT / 6900 XT

As of now, I'm taking a week off from system updates in hopes this gets picked up and fixed, I'll continue to maintain my system backups in case it doesn't. Overall, I just wanted to post this here to let the community know, and possibly get an idea on which package is causing this so I can prevent it from upgrading alongside everything else.

Thanks for any help.
