You: Ok, next please try:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841365#c13
i.e., update to the latest microcode.
Me: I used for package kernel-firmware version 20130714git-2.1.1-noarch
(from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.1/repo/oss/)
I just upgraded to 20130714git-76.1 from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-13.1/standard/: nok:
boot fails as before
Me: should I try the firmware from
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/?
You: Also, try the latest upstream kernel packages here
http://kernel.opensuse.org/packages/vanilla
*with* the latest radeon microcode you've already updated in the
previous step.
Me: upgraded to kernel version Desktop -- openSUSE - 3.13.0-rc3-4.g39ea148: ok
for 4 boots out of 4; could not find anything suspicious in /var/log/messages
Me: added "quiet" back in the boot command line (that did not work around the
problem, in contrast to what I wrote in my original description of the issue):
ok: for almost all boots (1 I am not sure of)
You: Also, is this an upgrage to openSUSE 13.1 from an older version? If so,
can you try a clean install? I had a couple of bug reports happening
because of stale leftovers from previous installation after an upgrade.
Me: it is an upgrade from the previous opensuse version. To be honest, I am not
that confident my system is stable now! So I think I will do a clean install.
But I first need to backup everything, and then find the time for this...
You: Also, please upload full dmesg.
Me: please find uploaded a dmseg of a successfull boot (hard to get, as the
issue is that boot fails most of the time!): is is a dmesg before doing the
different actions you suggested in the previous comment.
You: Has radeon ever worked on this box? If so, please upload full dmesg from
a working kernel too.
Me: it never worked; it is a brand new mother board.
Me: as a wrap up, I have two questions left:
1) should I upgrade the firmware from linux-firmware.git?
2) is it recommended and/or worhwhile to do a clean install?
Many thanks for providing this help!
