It did, but it was a workaround, not a fix: it ended up disabling the GPU acceleration, because setting these options turns a firmware load failure into an initialization error. > Here's a patch that should avoid looping forever in both HuC and GuC > loading loops. Could you please confirm that it fixes the problem? avalos confirmed it fixed the problem without the undesirable side effect of the woraround, so I've prepared a patch for our cleaning up scripts, for the next 6.1.x-gnu and 6.2.x-gnu stable releases, and submitted the improvement upstream. https://lore.kernel.org/stable/[email protected]/T/#u Thanks to avalos and to Wicki for their information, cooperation, and understanding as we tried to figured it out, -- Alexandre Oliva, happy hacker https://FSFLA.org/blogs/lxo/ Free Software Activist GNU Toolchain Engineer Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
