Hello,
So I just bought a 7900 XTX and put it in my Libreboot 9020 MT motherboard (I have a custom build that I made for myself), it says during bootup of Debian:
“amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: firmware: failed to load amdgpu/gc_11_00_0_mes_2.bin (-2)”
I took out the GPU, booted into the OS without errors, and checked if the firmware-amd-graphics package was installed, which it was. I’m new to AMD, wondering if anyone else has had the same issue before.
Yeah, Debian has older firmware found in the
firmware-amd-graphicspackage 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/
