Of course with KMS enabled. Then boot with KMS disabled into runlevel 3, login and run 'modprobe radeon'. Afterwards attach the lines in /var/log/messages when the kernel module gets loaded. Maybe there is a significant difference. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Not sure whether you already added that in one of your comments. Boot with radeon.modeset=1. For 1) we need to make sure that radeon is not in the initrd. For that you need to set NO_KMS_IN_INITRD="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/kernel, then recreated initrd with mkinitrd. After boot into runlevel 3 run 'modprobe radeon modeset=1'.

Alex, I would like to know how other Linux distributions handle the issue, that radeon kernel module isn't initialized in time when not already loaded in initrd.

You need to include the modules in the initrd. You need radeon and and the drm modules (and fbcon if you want console at boot) and for AGP cards, you need the AGP modules. If you didn't want to include the AGP modules, you could force radeon to use the on-chip gart by passing radeon.agpmode=-1 on the kernel command line. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(In reply to comment #9) You need to include the modules in the initrd. You need radeon and and the drm modules (and fbcon if you want console at boot)

AFAICS that would be drm, drm_kms_helper, i915, nouveau, radeon.

...

and for AGP cards, you need the AGP modules.

And that would be intel-agp, sis-agp, via-agp. The issue is that there are no deps from the drm to the appropriate agp module. In an installed system the required agp module is loaded automatically during boot. Then afterwards the drm module once the Xserver gets started. Since that's not possible in initrd Egbert patched mkinitrd in a way that the correct agp/drm module gets loaded in initrd. But that doesn't work for a LiveCD due to obvious reasons.

...

If you didn't want to include the AGP modules, you could force radeon to use the on-chip gart by passing radeon.agpmode=-1 on the kernel command line.

That would be something for Tobias to try. And Alex, do you happen to know how Fedora/Ubuntu resolve that timing issue with radeon with their LiveCD?

The proper agp modules should load based on the agp bridge pci ids, so there shouldn't be any issue with needing to know what agp module before hand. (as a side note, you'll also need amd64-agp for 64-bit AMD platforms with agp). Also, I haven't looked at the agp code in a while, but IIRC, I think the drm will request the agp module if it hasn't loaded yet. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The proper agp modules should load based on the agp bridge pci ids, so there shouldn't be any issue with needing to know what agp module before hand.

The order is still undefined. The dri modules cannot depend on the agp module, because the right agp module doesn't depend on the drm vendor, but on the north bridge vendor.

...

...
Also, I haven't looked at the agp code in a while, but IIRC, I think the drm will request the agp module if it hasn't loaded yet.

My experience has always been that this is *not* the case.

I'm unsure whether that is even possible. Only udev knows which agp module is to be loaded. Except for if you try all of them. Alex, don't you still "need" agpgart for setting up GART memory for additional texture space, even with PCIe cards?

agpgart is only needed for AGP cards. The internal non-AGP gart mechanisms (pci/pcie/igp) are handled completely within the radeon drm. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The drm driver does NOT have the agpgart module as prerequisite, but doesn't work if the agpgart is not loaded before.

The following steps have to be taken to create a live CD:

- Egbert's mkinitrd scriptlet has to be blown up to include *all* agp modules and *all* drm modules (including firmwares) - The udev rule 79-kms.rules that prohibits loading of the drm module has to be nuked - Egbert's boot script 05-kms.sh that is called *after* udev has to be replacedby a script that's called *before* udev and just loads *all* agp modules. Which basically resembles a kernel that has all agp modules built in

Then the right drm module will be loaded by udev, and agp will already be active by then.

Ok. Since it's to late for 11.3 meanwhile. For openSUSE > 11.3 let's do the Fedora way and make sure that all agpgart modules are compiled *into* the kernel.

A bunch of them depend on X86_32.

You are aware of that we're talking about the LiveCD ?!?

Yes, this works fine. Therefore adding i915, radeon, and nouveau has been sufficient. :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The LiveCD is created by kiwi, which uses its own mkinitd version, see comment 30. So patching the mkinitd package won't help here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I guess someone needs to explain Marcus what to do. The kiwi configs have a hard coded list of modules, kms.sh does more afaik.

Thanks. I've contacted him meanwhile and he's going to patch kiwi accordingly for openSUSE 11.4 (kiwi/system/boot/ix86/netboot/suse-11.4/config.xml). Please forget aobut kms.sh. It has always been dead code, since "nomodeset" has a "special" meaning ..
