See that the linux-firmware package is installed on your system.
Then check /lib/firmware/amdgpu/
If it's not there download it manually and place it there using sudo
Make sure chown it properly as well. I'm pretty sure it's sudo chown root:root filenamehere. Dbl check who owns the amdgpu dir, that's who should own it.
Update Initramfs - sudo update-initramfs -u
Reboot and pray.
The errors went away at boot, but nothing happens now, its just stuck. I just see the _ blinking that's it. Going to try installing Arch and see if I can get it working better.
Oh yeah, I forgot about updating initramfs. Just like I usually do at home. Installing a new kernel would do it automatically though, and I imagine that's somewhat likely to be needed. It has been for both of the new-ish video cards I've had in recent years.
I recently upgraded to a 7900 XTX on Debian stable, as well. I'm running the newest kernel from Debian's backports repo (6.6, I think), and I didn't have that same problem.
I did have other problems with OpenCL, though. I made a thread about this and solved it with some trouble. Check my post history if you're interested. I hope it helps. I can take a closer look at my now-working system for comparison if you have further issues.
Shouldn't that be "gc_11_0_0_mes_2.bin" — without the double 0? That you could download from git.kernel.org among other places.
That video card came out around the same time as the current version of Debian stable, so it's probably too new to be included in your version of firmware-amd-graphics. It would go in /usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/ with a bunch of similar-looking files. The other thing you might need to go with that firmware is a newer linux kernel, which you could get from backports.
Yeah, Debian has older firmware found in the firmware-amd-graphics package which doesn't include the firmware. You'll need to download it from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/ I believe anything from linux-firmware-20231030 and newer should work.
20231030 tag: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/amdgpu?h=20231030 or newest(20240410) tag: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/amdgpu?h=20240410
These files need to be placed in /lib/firmware/amdgpu/
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
