Hello,
thank you, I managed it. Unfortunately I didn't install all the needed kernel
packets, this is why I got this error message.
Now the OS is booting fine, but after the login the system is frozen at 90%
of my efforts.
Any advice how to fix this error?
You can chroot from a live session. Boot from a live CD and open a terminal.
Then, assuming your root partition is /dev/sda1
$ sudo su
# TARGET=/media/sda1
# mkdir -p $TARGET
# mount /dev/sda1 $TARGET
# mount --bind /dev $TARGET/dev
# mount --bind /dev/pts $TARGET/dev/pts
# mount --bind
If you have something that needs the kernel headers that can be done by
installing the appropriate -headers package.
I think earlier you installed linux-libre-5.4, so that it would be
linux-libre-5.4-headers. Maybe I should mention this on the website just in
case.
The kernel headers are

Perhaps when an LTS kernel reaches EOL, you could bump the version
number and replace it with a transitional package to the next LTS
kernel. For example, when 4.4 reaches EOL, turn linux-libre-4.4 into a

There can still be other benefits, like new (non-hardware) features in the

Would it be a good idea to have an interactive prompt from the package

I'm pretty sure the driver you want is the free radeon driver. It explicitly
supports your RV710 card according to Debian and according to the reports of
Trisquel users on h-node, and Debian reports that the non-free amdgpu driver
is for later video cards:
Non-free firmware won't fix your problems and may be security
vulnerabilities. Your notebook's graphics card is much older (at least 6~7
years older) than the non-free firmware packages you installed, so I'm afraid
they can't address any problem that is relevant to your very old GPU. I
I would remove that firmware quickly...

these are a security risk and a privacy risk.
That aside, non-free software isn't going to fix this
