Ok, I'm attaching even two: one is dmesg_debian_3.1_no_drm, from the official Debian package, where it does not even seem to try loading the firmware. The other is "dmesg_loading_fails_selfcompiled" where it tries to load the firmware, but says it can't find it. The kernel was built with: CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/PALM_pfp.bin radeon/PALM_me.bin radeon/SUMO_me.bin radeon/SUMO_pfp.bin radeon/SUMO_rlc.bin radeon/R600_pfp.bin radeon/R600_rlc.bin" CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware" > I guess I'd suggest "apt-get reinstall firmware-linux-nonfree", > although since ...
