This isn't a bug, but a configuration error.
You compile the radeon module directly into the kernel, but don't include the RV710_uvd.bin firmware into your kernel image. See CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE in your kernel configuration for details.

Christian,
Thanks for the info, that has got me passed the firmware loading stage, I am still a little confused has to the criterion for including firmware in the kernel image, for example in this case radeon/R700_rlc.bin and radeon/RV710_uvd.bin seem to be a "must include" where as radeon/RV710_pfp.bin and radeon/RV710_me.bin seem to be happy loaded from the file system at boot time. Obviously early in the boot sequence there are less resources to perform things like file loading but to me it seems some what arbitrary, the documentation suggest to me that within certain constraints it is a developers choice. What is your view ?
Thanks
Stuart Foster
