Re: [Xen-devel] [GIT PULL] devel/pat + devel/kms.fixes-0.5 on RV730 PRO [Radeon HD 4650] Issue resolved

[Boris Derzhavets <bderzhavets@xxxxxxxxx>]

.config from Ubuntu instance just copied over to F13 instance.
 2.6.32.19 rebuilt on F13 with minimal initramfs and get 3D on F13.

  I also made diff between .configs
  Looks like CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y caused a problem
  should be =m.
  CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y to make modesetting on radeon by
  default.

 Boris.

KMS works  fine on Ubuntu 10.04. However , uncompressed initrd.img-2.6.32.19-xen
doesn't contain Radeon firmware binaries

Decompressed folder

Nothing about Radeon FW in initrd.img on Ubuntu exactly as on F13.

Build kernel 2.6.32.19 with
1. CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y
2. Drivers->Staging Drivers-> Enable modesetting on radeon by default <*>
( otherwise KMS switches to userspace modesetting )
Whatever option like --add , --install i tried with dracut. initramfs been uncompressed
# cd /root/test
# cp /boot/initramfs-2.6.32.19.img initramfs-2.6.32.19.img.gz
# gunzip initramfs-2.6.32.19.img.gz
# cpio -i --make-directories < initramfs-2.6.32.19.img

doesn't contain /lib/firmware/radeon folder at all.
Just :-

[root@fedora13 firmware]# pwd
/root/test/lib/firmware
[root@fedora13 firmware]# ls -l

Can you provide the serial output? Is the error the same as you reported
before (were it could not load the firmware code?)

Can you try fiddling with the dracut options to force it include the
proper firmware bits?
