Disclaimer : what I did concerns 4.15.0 kernel only, on Intel machine (Assus Zenbook pro, x86_64, model: UX410UAR)
Hello, Sorry for coming late, but I had the same issue some days ago (never tested before):something like Guc not loading, while Huc did. Of course I hit this page, and some other without find a complete solution. **But** after one day searching, I finaly make it work (!!) , and I'll try to explain what I did (I do not recommend to do the same, but I'll attach a patch (under MIT license, or whatever you need, just ask). The problems: 1. when you download the kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin blob from Intel site, looks like the downloaded file is an .xml file in fact, but not a binary at all. Maybe the site has an issue ? (sorry, not a website specialist) // Can someone verify btw ? 2. IIRC Intel made kbl_guc_ver9_xy.bin for Kabylake, and I simply tried to make the kbl_guv_ver9_39.bin work. Important: I found kbl_guv_ver9_39.bin blob there : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/ What I did : - I extracted kbl_guv_ver9_39.bin from linux-firmware_1.178_all.deb, and put it in /lib/firmware/i915 After that, I downloaded the most recent 4.15.0 kernel sources (on my LinuxMint 18.3) : => apt-get source linux-source-4.15.0 provided : Réception de :1 http://ubuntu.mirrors.ovh.net/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main linux-hwe 4.15.0-47.50~16.04.1 (dsc) [6 511 B] Réception de :2 http://ubuntu.mirrors.ovh.net/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main linux-hwe 4.15.0-47.50~16.04.1 (tar) [158 MB] After I downloaded the sources, I copied initrd.img-4.15.0-34-generic as .config in the kernel tree, and I simply patched the following files (in drivers/gpu/drm/i915 : - intel_guc_fw.c - intel_uc.c Comments : - In the first one, I simply modified the binary version (changing KBL_FW_MINOR from 14 to 39) - In the second one, I followed Robert M. Fosha advice (link : https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10877903/), allowing to avoind timeout and retry when trying to load the blob => see the attached patch. For the record, my current /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf contains : ```` options i915 enable_fbc=1 fastboot=1 enable_guc_loading=1 enable_guc_submission=1 ```` Next step was to build the kernel, the Debian way (using make -j8 deb-pkg), and after installing the debs, I got everything working at the end, including the 9_34 version of kbl_guc blob :-) : ```` me@MyMachine ~ $ dmesg | grep i915 [ 2.018994] i915 0000:00:02.0: vgaarb: changed VGA decodes: olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=io+mem:owns=io+mem [ 2.019493] [drm] Finished loading DMC firmware i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin (v1.1) [ 2.031452] [drm] HuC: Loaded firmware i915/kbl_huc_ver02_00_1810.bin (version 2.0) [ 2.041847] [drm] GuC: Loaded firmware i915/kbl_guc_ver9_39.bin (version 9.39) [ 2.058753] i915 0000:00:02.0: GuC submission enabled (firmware i915/kbl_guc_ver9_39.bin [version 9.39]) [ 2.059299] [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20171023 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0 [ 2.519645] i915 0000:00:02.0: fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device [ 9.408643] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: bound 0000:00:02.0 (ops i915_audio_component_bind_ops [i915]) ```` Conclusion : we can use kbl_guc_ver9_34 with 4.1.5.x kernel.

The firmware is now available and in use, so these statements need to be added back. Without these statements, The i915 Kabylake GuC firmware is failing to load on boot, and generating dmesg errors. == Fix == Revert Bionic commit dc0f16f9b5084e6be2b8c79f8c6cd499a3451791. == Regression Potential == Low. Adding a statement back that was removed by a SAUCE patch. == Test Case == A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter. The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug. == Original Bug Report == The i915 Kabylake GuC firmware is failing to load on boot, and generating dmesg errors. The Kabylake HuC firmware succeeds. All files exist. I've also verified the Kabylake GuC firmware matches the correct file size and md5 listed on 01.org. I then ran update-initramfs verbosely, and see that only /lib/firmware/i915/skl_guc_ver6_1.bin is being added. /lib/firmware/i915/bxt_guc_ver8_7.bin and /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin seem to be ignored. I'm running a Dell XPS 13 9360 w/ Kabylake on Ubuntu 17.10 and initramfs-tools 0.125ubuntu12. Perhaps Broxton systems might have the same issue?
