Bug 268962: graphics/drm-510-kmod: amdgpu.ko doesn't load properly from
loader.conf
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=268962
--- Description ---
When I include:
amdgpu_load="YES"
amdgpu_name="/boot/modules/amdgpu.ko
in my /boot/loader.conf, it loads amdgpu.ko, and also loads drm.ko,
linuxkpi_gplv2.ko, dmabuf.ko, and ttm.ko (which I hypothesize happens because
the top Makefile specifies:
DEFAULT_KMODS= dmabuf \
linuxkpi \
ttm \
drm \
amd \
radeon
But in order to work, we also need firmware for my graphics card to load, which
means amdgpu_raven_{gpu_info,sdma,asd,ta,pfp,me,ce,rlc,mec,mec2,vcn}_bin.ko
also have to be loaded in my case. And they are, if I kldload amdgpu.ko by
hand in single-user mode or include amdgpu.ko in kld_list in my /etc/rc.conf.
(And in that case, X windows comes up nicely using the "amdgpu" driver, whereas
otherwise it comes up in VESA mode.)
In conjunction with bug #267028, it would be nice if I could load amdgpu.ko at
/boot/loader.conf time, since loading it later on increases the chance of a
kernel crash in ZFS code. Don't ask me why.
