[SOLVED] Graphics card firmware not loaded

#1 Post by PsySc0rpi0n »

Hello...

Recently I've been noticing errors in dmesg about my graphics card firmware. I'm using Debian 9.8 and my kernel is 4.19.0-0.bpo.2-amd64.
I have an ATI Radeon HD7970M, which is supposed to use a pitcairn_mc.bin firmware. dmesg says it fails to load:

Code: Select all

I also have 2 other folders related to amd inside /lib/firmware but none of these 2 contains that file:

It's fixed... It was almost that.

I had to install linux-amd-graphics package but from stretch-backports...

Thanks

firmware-amd-graphics is installed by firmware-linux-nonfree as a dependency so it was exactly that.
Thanks for marking as solved.

Yes but somehow the .bin files were missing from some of the folders probably due to some disk errors I faced and after a forced fsck, probably those files were corrupted or something...

This was the error. The pitcain firmware were only in radeon/ earlier but in the version in stretch-backport and buster it's also in amdgpu/.
