Hello

# problem description - points # 1& 2 missing firmware radeon/RV770_pfp.bin firmware for module radeon

#1 I am running an opensuse 2.6.34-rc5 kernel from the kernel:HEAD repository on opensuse v11.3 (milestone 5) and I have a radeon hd4850 card.

I am getting an oops when I boot - the opps is triggered because I am missing the firmware for radeon/R700_rlc.bin

The firmware doesn't appear to be shipped with the kernel... Any where or way I can obtain it...?

not sure how to help(since I don't have the hardware), but a quick google showed this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/r600_cp-failed-to-loa... if this is the case then use the open suse build service etc.. modify the kernel .config then go from there and/or download the tar ball, and build the kernel that way with the fix according to the thread(above). hope this helps.
