Description Georges Eckenschwiller 2015-02-04 20:31:22 CET

Description of problem:

I made a minimal install with CD boot-nonfree.iso
(personal desktop, deselect all, with X server)

Installation and configuration are made as usual

After reboot I have a blank screen, without prompt.
Impossible to open a console with Ctrl+Alt+Fx

I restart it failsafe mode, connect as root.
Execute startx

=> r600_cp: Failed to load firmware radeon/R600_rlc.bin
Fatal error during GPU init

NB: if I install a desktop such as LXQt, the reboot is correct.

graphic card : onboard RS 780D [radeon 3300]

Reproducible:

Comment 1 Thomas Backlund 2015-02-04 20:34:30 CET

seems you didn't have nonfree enabled, so radeon-firmware was not installed.

CC: (none) => tmb

Comment 2 Georges Eckenschwiller 2015-02-04 23:06:42 CET

Good evening,
I valide systematically core, nonfree and tainted by install.
I had already tried approximately 2 weeks ago and even this morning.

I had already had a black screen, but I did not have time to make other investigations the first time.

Comment 3 Georges Eckenschwiller 2015-02-04 23:09:16 CET

I would again want to specify that I do not valid the recommended packages.

Comment 4 Georges Eckenschwiller 2015-02-05 14:24:32 CET

New test today
new cd buned, local mirror updated this afternoon.

Always a minimal installation, but with X server

- without recommends: 658 packages. => with Grub screen, then blank screen
- with recommends: 808 packages. => with Grub screen, then with plymouth, then with xdm ...

Can this help?

Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2015-02-18 11:21:24 CET

Yes.
firmware is not required, just recommended by kernel, b/c it's in another optional medium (nonfree).
Can you attach your /root/drakx/report.bug.xz (in both cases?)
Note that the previous one should have been backuped in /root/drakx/

    ensure we install kernel-firmware-nonfree (mga#15203)
    
    (if needed)
    it's recommended but will be unselected if recommends are disabled
    resulting in non working display on reboot

Comment 7 Thierry Vignaud 2015-02-18 11:26:53 CET

I'm uploading a new installer.
Can you try again once it reaches your favorite mirror?
install/stage2/VERSION should contains 16.60

eg:
http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/install/stage2/VERSION
(but it's still the previous version here: 16.59)

Comment 8 Thomas Backlund 2015-02-18 11:33:19 CET

Um, it's actually radeon-firmware that is missing, not kernel-firmware-nonfree

    ensure we install radeon-firmware too if needed (mga#15203)
