output from journalctl -b
Boot log shows all amdgpu and other system errors. The boot commandline is not fully recorded.
These are the boot options used:
splash quiet noiswmd noresume pti=off radeon.si_support=0 radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.fw_load_type=-1 amdgpu.exp_hw_support=1 amdgpu.dpm=1 amdgpu.dc=1 amdgpu.dc_log=1 drm.debug=0x4 nvidia_drm.modeset=0
It looks like I made a schoolboy error talking about missing firmware references without checking the log I submitted above. Last week when I had been exploring the problem in the log I found no reference to the string "firmware". Now I see that /usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/kaveri_uvd.bin and /usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/kaveri_vce.bin are indeed found, and presumably loaded. Sorry for the red herring about firmware.

No problem. Thanks for the correction! Summary:
AMD-A10 7860 Kaveri; amdgpu; VCE not responding =>
AMD-A10 7860 Kaveri; amdgpu; VCE not responding (kernel-4.19* should solve it) (In reply to Marja Van Waes from comment #3) Thank you for pointing out the "See also" field. I have added a reference to a bug report on fedora-28 which indicates that the problem emerged for that user after updating from kernel 4.17 to 4.18. See Also:

boot log from kernel 4.19
I am a bit slow. Must be old age. I have just discovered the kernel-linus-4.19 package. I installed it and got a much nicer result. A quick glance through the log suggests all the amdgpu errors have gone away. I'll take a closer look on Thursday evening.
I have been using kernel-linus-4.19 most of this evening and it has performed very well. The single most obvious improvement is how quickly my system now boots. I hadn't realised how much those amdgpu errors were slowing things down. The only tiny downsides are possibly imaginary. There seems to be an error related to HDMI audio, which I don't use, but may be the reason my auto-starting qasmixer won't start in the LXDE system tray. It displays on the screen and must have its settings (start in system tray) turned off and on again. The other trivial issue is that nvidia-persistenced is failing, but that's OK. I can just modprobe nvidia-current when I need th GPU for Blender or Gimp. The 4.18 kernel has been replaced by 4.19.1 so this bug is no longer at issue for Mageia 7 Cauldron Status:
