Radeon cards usually require blobs. I suggest trying to boot with “nokms”, to disable kernel mode setting. This should prevent dracut from loading the radeon module early, and should get you far enough into the boot to be able to tell what (if any) the problem is afterwards. It's quite unfortunate if newer radeon cards, and the corresponding drivers, are getting again into a state in which blobs are required even for basic 2D operations :-( This was the case a while ago (circa early 2.6.3x IIRC), due to bugs in interrupt configuration, but those are long gone; I wonder what they broke this time :-( If nokms makes the system work at least to some extent, you might want to blacklist radeon.ko. X's radeon driver should still work afterwards, IIRC. -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter http://FSFLA.org/~lxoliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist Red Hat Brazil Compiler Engineer _______________________________________________ linux-libre mailing list [email protected] http://www.fsfla.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-libre
