kernel dmesg (kernel 5.17-rc5, CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m, Talos II)
Kernel 5.17-rc5 has problems loading the radeon KMS module on my Talos II:
# modprobe -v radeon insmod /lib/modules/5.17.0-rc5-P9+/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_kms_helper.ko modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'radeon': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
dmesg show no further output then.
When I build a kernel with CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y I get this in dmesg:
[...]

So it complains about not finding the relevant firmware. But the firmware being located in everything should be ok. This used to work on kernels 5.16.x and before.

If you are using an initrd, the firmware must be present on the initrd for the driver to find it when it loads. Please make sure the firmware is available in your initrd.

No I don't use an initrd. The kernel to boot the Talos is on a boot partition, modules are loaded from root partition. Which worked in 5.16 and before. Now I am getting this "could not insert 'radeon': Unknown symbol in module".
Though this may explain the 2nd error I got when building radeon statically into the kernel. I'll add the firmware in-kernel and see if the error message changes and whether it actually works then.

--- Comment #5 from Erhard F. ([email protected]) --- Ok, changed my config to include the firmware via CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/R520_cp.bin" CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"
With CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y the machine boots now as expected with no radeon error messages.
With CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m radeon does not load and I still get "modprobe: ERROR:
could not insert 'radeon': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)" trying to load it manually via modprobe -v radeon.

You need to make sure the firmware is in your initrd. When the kernel loads, it loads from the initrd. There is no filesystem mounted yet when the radeon driver is loaded so the firmwares need to be in the initrd.

As I said I am not using an initrd and this config worked on <5.17-rc. So something must have changed that I now get "modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'radeon': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)". I'll try a bisect and see if I can dig out more.

kernel dmesg (kernel 5.17-rc7, CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m, Talos II)
Seems this is issue already fixed in -rc7.
v5.17-rc7 boots on the Talos II again with radeon drm loaded from disk without an initrd or firmware being built in.
Out of curiosity I'll do a bisect next week anyhow to check out which commit fixed the issue.
But feel free to close here if it is not appropriate to hold this bug open any longer.
