@sforshee: Given the severity of this issue, and that it's only adding new files, I'm inclined to say we fasttrack the release, but I'd also like to see a follow-up upload that includes the missing files the drivers reference (if they exist), or patch the drivers to stop referencing them (if they don't, and won't).
Any opinions on both those things? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848848 Title: Firmware for Radeon RX5700 (navi10) missing / boot failure Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux-firmware source package in Bionic: In Progress Status in linux-firmware source package in Eoan: Fix Committed Bug description: As an owner of a Radeon RX5700 GPU, I was really looking forward to the Eoan release which includes the Linux Kernel 5.3 and Mesa 19.2 - both with finally Radeon RX5700 (navi10) support. However, upgrading my system from Kubuntu 18.10 (working) via 19.04 (does not boot) to 19.10 resulted in a boot failure. Last message shown on the screen is: fb0: switching to amdgpudrmfb from EFI VGA After some research I found that the package linux-firmware does not include the necessary files /lib/firmware/amdgpu/navi10_*. After I manually copied the missing files from the repository git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux- firmware.git, I was able to boot normally. Please update the package linux-firmware and add the needed firmware. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 19.10 Release: 19.10 $ apt-cache policy linux-firmware linux-firmware: Installiert: 1.183 Installationskandidat: 1.183 Versionstabelle: *** 1.183 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan/main amd64 Packages 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1848848/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
