Package: linux-image-amd64
Dear Debian Team,

I hope you're doing well.

I'm writing to report several hardware-related issues that I’ve encountered while using Debian 12.10 on my laptop. The device is an **HP 255 G7** with an **AMD Ryzen 5 3500U** processor and **integrated Vega 8 GPU**.

I have tested more than **40 different Linux distributions** on this machine, and Debian stands out as the most stable and reliable. However, I continue to face the following problems that I hope the Debian team can help address:

1. **ACPI Error: AE_NOT_FOUND**  
   During every boot, the following message appears in the logs:  
   `ACPI Error: AE_NOT_FOUND`  
   This error affects power management, fan control, and sometimes suspend/resume functionality. It seems to indicate incompatibility between the BIOS/firmware and the kernel’s ACPI implementation.

2. **Missing AMDGPU Firmware**  
   System logs show that some **amdgpu firmware files** are missing for the integrated Vega 8 GPU. This leads to **lower graphics performance** and occasional glitches, especially during graphical sessions or video playback.

3. **Battery Sensor Not Detected in `lm-sensors`**  
   When using `lm-sensors`, the battery information such as **temperature, charge level, and power usage** is not detected. This makes it difficult to monitor the battery's condition and energy consumption, which works on some other distributions.

These issues are consistent even after updating to newer kernels on Debian 12.10.

I would truly appreciate if you could look into these issues or provide guidance. I am happy to share **`dmesg`**, **`acpidump`**, **`lspci`**, or any other diagnostic logs that could assist with troubleshooting.

Thank you for your great work and commitment to the Debian project. Despite these challenges, Debian remains my preferred operating system, and I look forward to improved hardware support in future releases.

Best regards,  
**Haider**

Hi

This bug was filed for a (very) old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution. Maybe it was for a feature enablement which nobody
acted on. We are sorry we were not able to timely deal with this issue.
There are many open bugs for the src:linux package and thus we are
closing older bugs where it's unclear if they still occur in newer
versions and are still relevant to the reporter. For an overview see:
https://bugs.debian.org/src:linux .

If you can reproduce your issue with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

or, if it was a feature addition/wishlist and still consider it
relevant, then:

Please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Please try to provide as much fresh details including kernel logs where
relevant. In particular were an issue is coupled with specific hardware we
might ask you to do additional debugging on your side as the owner of the
hardware.

Regards,
Salvatore
