Great.
I'd
originally installed bullseye and the non-free firmware package to get
the firmware for this setup. Everything was fine until yesterday
Not bookworm upgrade fault then. You had upgraded the system and it was
working fine.
Everything was fine until yesterday, after
some bookworm updates and a reboot. No more video driver for X.
SOME bookworm updates? Please be more specific. That's the cause of your
problem. Please attach relevant logs from this "bookworm updates" event
so we can see what happened.
Hi,
Thanks for the advice. The problem I'm trying to solve is why the AMD
firmware isn't getting incorporated in the kernel. I have to boot with
NOMODESET. The bookworm updates, while coincidental, are probably not
the cause. "Something else" happened, and I need help debugging. I can't
see amdgpu in lsmod. I can see the firmware in /var/lib/firmware.
I've run update-initramfs -c after replacing /var/lib/firmware. Still
not getting positive results from lsmod | grep -i amdgpu
Booting with
ro loglevel=7 nomodeset
isn't giving any useable clues in boot.log
It feels like it's a kernel setting that got written and isn't reset
after down/up grades. This is testing. It's supposed to be "broken".
When bullseye was broken after the downgrade, I knew something broke in
my local configuration. I'm trying to fix it. I'd like help debugging.
It's probably only reproducible if one follows a set of steps that
aren't easily retraced.
It's been too many years since I used Debian from the console. I do not
remember enough X to debug building the init image towards that goal.
I'm also chuffed that Ubuntu manages to pull off video in the live CD.
At this point, I think I'll reinstall from bookworm netinst in a few
weeks or after the transition to 12 finishes. Running the box headless
will be good enough for now.
