Created attachment 1515923 [details] fpaste --sysinfo output Description of problem: Fresh install of Fedora 29 on a new Ryzen machine w/ RX550 GPU (AMDGPU-supported). Boots correctly with 4.18.16 kernel (installed with system) through to 4.18.8. However, 4.19.9 and 4.19.10 (currently in updates-testing) both fail to boot (before the opportunity to enter my LUKS passphrase). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.19.9-300.fc29 How reproducible: 100%, every boot Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to kernel-4.19.9-300.fc29 2. Reboot 3. Boot with kernel-4.19.9-300.fc29 Actual results: Blank screen, fans didn't spin up Expected results: Passphrase prompt via plymouth, fans spin up. Additional info: Attached is output from `fpaste --sysinfo` I've additionally booted both 4.19.8 (working) and 4.19.9 (broken) without "rhgb quiet" on the command line, then taken photos. 4.19.9 (broken) hangs when switching the framebuffer to amdgpudrmfb. (screenshot added in additional comment to follow) 4.19.8 (working) blanks the screen and prints a bunch of drm info (it waits here for me to type my passphrase, although the prompt was lost during the screen blank) (screenshot added in additional comment to follow)

Created attachment 1515925 [details] Sucessful boot with 4.19.8-300 Attaching screenshot of successful boot with `rhgb quiet` removed from the kernel command line (It waits here for me to type my LUKS passphrase, although the prompt was lost during the amdgpudrmfb screen blank)
As per the 4.19.9 changelog[1], there were a few changes to amdgpu, namely: * drm/amdgpu/gmc8: always load MC firmware in the driver and * drm/amdgpu/gmc8: update MC firmware for polaris The timestamp on that latter commit was "Wed Nov 28 23:25:41 2018 -0500", however the current linux-firmware package is dated "20181008-88.gitc6b6265d", which predates the updated firmware. Manually fetching linux-firmware-20181219-89.git0f22c852.fc29 from koji, installing it, and rebuilding the initrd (`dracut --kver=4.19.10-300.fc29.x86_64 --force`) results in a properly working system. This appears to be a bug due to the kernel needing an updated linux-firmware, but none was available. Kernel Changelog: https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.19.9
