Hi Michel, So, in Ubuntu 16.10 there's no firmware-amd-graphics or firmware-linux-nonfree packages anymore. I did however, find that the linux-firmware package on the LiveUSB key was indeed newer, so I went ahead and downloaded this package to match that on the live USB key: https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/zesty/linux-firmware which incidentally updates all the initrd images. Since updating to the newer package version the kernel started booting correctly. I guess the morale of the story here is that I should update my distribution to avoid this kind of problem. I had issues upgrading the same distribution on another laptop so have been putting it off. The latest mainline kernel 4.12.2 is now booting successfully. Many thanks for your help, seems like testing kernel patches on new kernels is what is getting me into trouble in this case :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati

Looks like there's a problem with the firmware files for the radeon driver. Make sure the firmware-amd-graphics / firmware-linux-nonfree package is up to date and that the initrd contains the current files from /lib/firmware/radeon/. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati

I'm not sure how I would ensure that, and curious as to why it would be any different starting Linux 4.10.0 from a LiveUSB key than from the internal SSD - speed at which it's reading from the device?

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101771 --- Comment #5 from berg --- Michel, No, the dmesg output was from booting from a live usb key, there is no dmesg/kernel log saved to disk when trying to boot 4.10.0 from the internal SSD of the MacBook pro. Keep in mind, this laptop has some fancy GPU/IGP muxing when running OS X. Typically in Linux it has always used soley used the radeon GPU and in the past when trying to swtich it to Intel only, I had problems with X also loading. The screen output on a normal boot looks like this, complaining of an ACPI error: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=257215 Enabling debugging on the kernel and showing more verbose messaging to screen results in this output: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=257217 As mentioned, none of these message ever have a change to be written to disk, sorry for the photos. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
