Error videocard: amdgpu requires firmware installed

#1 Post by okpermane »

I recently installed the system and after that I installed refind and booted. Then I installed the drivers according to the instructions: https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo. Now the check command displays an error:

Code: Select all

root@i:/home/i# dmesg | grep -E 'drm|radeon' | grep -iE 'firmware|microcode'
[    1.696591] [drm:amdgpu_pci_probe [amdgpu]] *ERROR* amdgpu requires firmware installed

My videocard:

Code: Select all

root@i:/home/i# lspci -nn|grep VGA
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Stoney [Radeon R2/R3/R4/R5 Graphics] [1002:98e4] (rev ea)
What could be the problem?

Hi,
Could be:

Code: Select all

# apt installl amd64-microcode
DebianStable

Code: Select all

$ vrms

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian!  rms would be proud.

What did you do exactly ?

No, it couldn't. amd64-microcode contains CPU microcode, not GPU firmware. ATI/AMD GPU firmwares are in firmware-amd-graphics.

What's the result of "apt policy firmware-amd-graphics" in the terminal?

Maybe Debian failed to ask if user want to install AMD firmware. For me KDE failed to start thanks to that.

Try `Alt+F5` keyb. shortcut when stuck on booting screen and login.

then run: `apt install isenkram && isenkram-autoinstall-firmware`

(may need to prefix these by "sudo " if logged in not as root)

It finds needed firmware and install it automatically https://packages.debian.org/buster/isenkram
