Bug #: 43835 Summary: System crashes when radeon firmware blob (R520_cp.bin) is installed Classification: Unclassified Product: DRI Version: XOrg CVS Platform: Other URL: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=65153 2 OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: DRM/Radeon AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: noelamac@gmail.com
Created attachment 54426 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=54426 Logs ("dmesg" and "xorg.0.log" for kernels 3.2-rc4 and 3.1 with and without the firmware installed)
1. Steps to reproduce the problem
Running Debian Wheezy, by installing the package "firmware-linux-nonfree" which contains the firmware to enable 3D acceleration for the ATI card (M56P Radeon Mobility X1600), when the system starts and user logins, the system crashes (no specific action triggers the crash, is just about time to get it).
2. Symptoms
The user receives a "kernel oops" (kernel 3.1) or system hangs with a trace (kernel 3.2-rc4) and system locks.
3. Tested kernels
The user has tested kernel 3.1 (Wheezy's stock kernel) and 3.2-rc4 (from Debian's experimental branch). Both kernels expose the same result when firmware is installed. On the other hand, both kernels work fine as soon as the firmware package is unistalled.
4. Additional information
The crash has been tracked in Debian BTS #651532 (full link available in the URL field).
5. Attached logs (4 files):
- "dmesg" and "Xorg.0.log" for kernels 3.2-rc4 and 3.1 when firmware is installed.
- "dmesg" and "Xorg.0.log" for kernels 3.2-rc4 and 3.1 when firmware is not installed.
6. Other considerations
Please, note that I am opening the this bug on behalf of another person who is experiencing the crash. For this reason I'm CC'ing to him.
