--- Comment #5 from James Cloos cloos@jhcloos.com 2011-06-07 04:01:31 --- Ah. OK. The driver tries to load the firmware before / is mounted, then?
As I do not use initrd there the answer seems to be:
-CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="" +CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/R600_rlc.bin" +CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"
to the .config.
Closing as invalid. Will reopen if the above .config change doesn’t fix it.
(Last time I must have manually done what EXTRA_FIRMWARE does. I lost that clone in the meantime, though, so that is only a guess. (It was a clone of my local, pristine clone. And the .configs were backed up in their own git repo. So that loss didn’t seem like much of a nuisance. But I obviously forgot about this issue in the meantime. ☹)
