radeon drive issue

I was facing this issue after upgrade from 42.2 to 42.3. After the latest update of the system, I’m facing a new issue in radeon drive. I’m getting the following error mesage:

      3.045230] radeon 0000:00:01.0: radeon_vce: Can't load firmware "radeon/BONAIRE_vce.bin. : failed VCE (-2) init.       3.045232] radeon 0000:00:01.0: failed VCE (-2) init.

Please find output of

mkinitrd

at https://paste.opensuse.org/18833184

I did force installation of

sudo zypper in -f kernel-firmware

but with no success. Please find the output at https://paste.opensuse.org/87979543

How can I install missing firmware’s? Will installing amdgpu kmp and a later version of xf86-video-amdgpu solve the issue? If so, please let me know the steps to install them.

Please find Xorg log in https://paste.opensuse.org/80911205

Read in other forums for this issue - Your simplest and solution will be to use menuconfig (never manually edit the kernel .conf) to set AMDGPU to module and rebuild your kernel. As it is the card cannot load the firmware so naturally it isn’t working.Should I update menuconfig?

Many Thanks for your help.

Hi
If you uninstall the package drm-kmp-default should get you back to the
radeon driver as it may be fighting with the amdgpu one.

As per your advice, uninstalled drm-kmp-default and restarted the system. Now facing a new issue

        2.929259] radeon: radeon_uvd: Can't load firmware "radeon/BONAIRE_uvd.bin"                              2.929279] radeon_vce: Can't load firmware "radeon/BONAIRE_vce.bin"                                                        2.952168] radeon: VCE init error (-22).

Hi
Is the kernel-firmware package installed? If not install this

If you look in the directory is the file there;


ls /lib/firmware/radeon/

Yes, the file is there. But it was not loaded as you can see it here. https://paste.opensuse.org/87979543

Hi
If you force the re-install of the firmware package and also make sure the system is all up to date;


zypper ref
zypper in -f kernel-firmware
zypper up
zypper up -t patch

I did the same and restarted the system.No change. Please find the details at https://paste.opensuse.org/11025792

Hi
So really looks like a bug…

Please create a bugzilla against Base:System ( this is where dracut is maintained) and attach that last output as an attachment to the bug report;

Please post back the bug reference as well :wink:

How long does it normally take to fix these type of issues? I’m unable to use my system for my work fully for more than a month.
