Argh I though we have fixed itJustGreg wrote:I did try booting without loadmodule=radeon. However, it did not work properly. After load the initrd and sfs files, things were static for a good two minute period, then, many console messages, all going by too fast to read. The X server did start with a mouse cursor and desktop display. But, the menu bar at the bottom is missing and there are no responses to mouse selections (i.e. clicking on the terminal icon does not bring up a console terminal window). I had to use the power button to shut down the system.
The good news is with the loadmodule=radeon option, everything seems to work well.
We have actually implemented the equivalent of "loadmodules=radeon" if we detect a radeon card. Do you mind running this on terminal, and then upload the resulting text file here? We want to know what's the pci id of your graphics card.
Code: Select all
find /sys/devices -name uevent | xargs -I '{}' sh -c 'echo ==={}===; cat {}' > devices.txt
Code: Select all
# workaround for kernel 3.7/3.8 module load race conditions for radeon
find /sys/devices -name uevent | xargs sed '/MODALIAS/!d; s/.*=//' |
grep -q pci:v00001002d0000 && modprobe -b radeon # start radeon module before udev
Code: Select all
modprobe radeon
cheers!
