Great.
I'd
originally installed bullseye and the non-free firmware
package to get
the firmware for this setup. Everything was fine until
yesterday
Not bookworm upgrade fault then. You had upgraded the system and
it was
working fine.
Everything was
fine until yesterday, after
some bookworm updates and a reboot. No more video driver for
X.
SOME bookworm updates? Please be more specific. That's the cause
of your
problem. Please attach relevant logs from this "bookworm
updates" event
so we can see what happened.
Hi,
Thanks for the advice. The problem I'm trying to solve is why the
AMD firmware isn't getting incorporated in the kernel. I have to
boot with NOMODESET. The bookworm updates, while coincidental, are
probably not the cause. "Something else" happened, and I need help
debugging. I can't see amdgpu in lsmod. I can see the firmware in
/var/lib/firmware.
I've run update-initramfs -c after replacing /var/lib/firmware.
Still not getting positive results from lsmod | grep -i amdgpu
Booting with
ro loglevel=7 nomodeset
isn't giving any useable clues in boot.log
It feels like it's a kernel setting that got written and isn't
reset after down/up grades. This is testing. It's supposed to be
"broken". When bullseye was broken after the downgrade, I knew
something broke in my local configuration. I'm trying to fix it.
I'd like help debugging. It's probably only reproducible if one
follows a set of steps that aren't easily retraced.
It's been too many years since I used Debian from the console. I
do not remember enough X to debug building the init image towards
that goal.
I'm also chuffed that Ubuntu manages to pull off video in the live
CD.
At this point, I think I'll reinstall from bookworm netinst in a
few weeks or after the transition to 12 finishes. Running the box
headless will be good enough for now.
