Description of problem: when updating from Mageia 1 to Cauldron (with a radeon RV670 card), the system ends up like this: http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/MAGEIA/BUGS/mageia2_boot.jpg http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/MAGEIA/BUGS/mageia2_xorg.jpg Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.2.1-1.mga2.src.rpm How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install 3.2.1 kernel 2. reboot system 3. the problem is the missing firmware files, namely: - RV670_pfp.bin - RV670_me.bin they are available as ihex (intel hex format) files in the kernel source, and can be converted to the binary form with objcopy like this: objcopy -I ihex RV670_me.bin.ihex -O binary RV670_me.bin objcopy -I ihex RV670_pfp.bin.ihex -O binary RV670_pfp.bin
Try installing kernel-nonfree-firmware from nonfree. If that works, this is a known issue, and is a WIP. The install does not enable nonfree at present, so most radeon cards don't work on first boot.

yup, working fine after installing the firmware from the kernel sources (as described above)
I think this is a duplicate of bug #3466, so I'm closing this one. If you think this is different, feel free to reopen. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 3466 ***
