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.

      Oh yeah, I forgot about updating initramfs. Just like I usually do at home. Installing a new kernel would do it automatically though, and I imagine that’s somewhat likely to be needed. It has been for both of the new-ish video cards I’ve had in recent years.

      The errors went away at boot, but nothing happens now, its just stuck. I just see the _ blinking that’s it. Going to try installing Arch and see if I can get it working better.
