[NEWS] Debian 11 is out
MauryG5:
Eventually I managed to sort it out on my own. I saw a site where it reported to add for Bullseye, a repository line that is not there. After I put it on it allowed me to download the slightly newer firmware and that point the graphics card started. Instead I tested the new Kernel 5.15 but the problem of not starting with the GPU unfortunately remains a curse ...
MauryG5:
I'm also experiencing boot issues with Bullsye that didn't previously occur with Buster. The problem apparently always goes back to starting with AMD GPUs. At the time of loading the Kernel, I am currently using version 5.12.8 compiled by myself, during startup at some point, usually the screen goes black, you see the cursor that stops at the top right and then AST shuts down and the external GPU starts up. It has happened to me more than once that after the screen is cleaned, the Kernel loaded, the cursor at the top left remains there and does not switch with the external GPU and everything freezes and I must necessarily turn off everything and restart as it was totally blocked ... Which Buster did not do, so I suppose it is a problem related to Bullsye it seems ... For the rest I also noticed a general performance improvement compared to Buster and it took because it was a bit slow and jerky indeed!
Borley:
It looks like you figured some of it out but firmware files basically just need to be in /lib/firmware/amdgpu/ for whichever GPU you have.
MauryG5:
Hi Borley, the main problem was that I couldn't figure out how to get the updated firmware installed, then I figured it out and I succeeded and at that point the GPU started normal. I was missing some repositories that once entered, they updated and automatically made me update the firmware.
Borley:
I feel ya. I am on the fence about whether or not I even want to use a dedicated GPU anymore, since I don't really play games much at all. And configuring a Raptor system with just the Aspeed graphics is so much less headache. What we really need is a good fully open top-to-bottom graphics add in card. Even if it's just mediocre performance.
