Bug#928631: Question

2019-06-24 Thread Diederik de Haas
Just got a msg from Michael send to me personally, I assume by accident.

Summary of the affected systems:
AMD Ryzen 1700X + VEGA64 + Sid
AMD Ryzen 2700X + VEGA64 + Sid
AMD Ryzen 2700X + VEGA56 + Sid

It's up to the maintainers, but as I said, I would be fine if severity of the 
bug is lowered or some other method is used so that firmware-nonfree version 
20190502-1 can transition to testing and be included in Buster.

affect all systems regardless of Video card type?

Yes. (bug is filed against firmware-amd-graphics)


Michael Becker: what CPU do you have?

I have amd ryzen 2700X

Antonio De Luci: Are you running Sid as well?

Yes, I have only Sid in the my personal computers



I feel 'bad' because this bug is preventing the whole of firmware-nonfree to
not migrate to testing/Buster and thus causes Buster to be released with
(somewhat) dated firmware. I suspect many would benefit from version 20190502-1.

It very much looks to be an issue with the Vega 56/64 card + AMD Ryzen (7?)
CPU, ie a very specific combination. The people who ran into this issue are
running Sid (at least 2 of them), so wouldn't be affected by an 'old' version
in the next Stable.

I remember there being 'stretch-ignore' tags to bugs and I would be fine if
'buster-ignore' would be applied to this bug so firmware-nonfree can migrate to
testing/Buster.
