--- Comment #16 from Dave Witbrodt <dawit...@sbcglobal.net> --- (In reply to comment #15) > > The good news is that I can reproduce the problem, and it indeed looks like > the firmware image gets corrupted. But that seems to always happen not only > when the image is loaded from initrd. That is a fact. I run my locally-built kernels without initrd files; the kernel has an initramfs facility which allows files to be manually selected for inclusion in the vmlinuz image (I used to use this for uvesafb), and a separate set of config options (CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE*, see comment 9 above) specifically for including firmware files into a particular location in the initial filesystem. I have been doing this for several years. It currently works for UVD on 2 out of 3 systems. (A fourth machine has an integrated Radeon GPU too old to be supported by this UVD code, though it also boots Linux without an initrd.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
