I moved the raven_dcmu.bin file to another directory, but unfortunately I am still unable to boot any kernel newer 4.20. For me at least, I get a black screen with a horizontal line near the bottom of orange pixels. I will attach the journalctl output from my last boot into kernel 5.0.5.
Make sure you update your initrd if you move the file, otherwise, the driver will pick it up from the initrd at load time.
Thanks Alex.
This time after I moved the raven_dcmu.bin file, I ran the following to update the initramfs image as root:
dracut --kver 5.0.6-200.fc29.x86_64 --force
This time: 1. The black screen with the horizontal line of pixels appeared, but for a split second, and then things started working like normal. 2. I was able to log into KDE Plasma like normal.
I did a quick suspend/resume and that worked also (although there was a split second of scrambled pixels).
Does this mean that there's something wrong with the raven_dcmu.bin file?
