By the way, Interesting to see that even my ubuntu budgie LTS with valve mesa-aco and different kernel, has the same warning. [ 5.739656] amdgpu 0000:0a:00.0: Direct firmware load for amdgpu/vega20_ta.bin failed with error -2 [ 5.739659] amdgpu 0000:0a:00.0: psp v11.0: Failed to load firmware "amdgpu/vega20_ta.bin"

I don't know of an AMD GPU part able to run without properly loaded firmware.

That would have to be confirmed by official AMD devs which are the sole ppl with that knowledge.

In the very probable case that the firmware _must_ be loaded for proper gpu operations, you have to tell the maintainers of the distros you use to update their linux/amdgpu firmware package.

I believe so, and yes it makes total sense that you need the correct firmware for a piece of hardware to work properly. I will open bugs for openSUSE and ubuntu, and ask the questions, point to this bug tracker. Let's see what comes out. I will report back as I hear from distribution maintainers.

I am using a RadeonVII at the moment. Is there anyone with a Vega64 or Vega56 that can do the same tests and let me know if they see same issue? I am happy to include those cards in my same bug reports if someone can confirm.
