Created attachment 1518130 [details] log files Description of problem: kernel-4.18.16-300 fails to boot on AMD Athlon 200GE with integrated Radeon graphics. All updates (as of 20190103) have been applied, linux-firmware-20181219-89.git0f22c852.fc29.noarch is installed and initramfs for this kernel has been updated with the command: dracut --kver 4.19.12-301.fc29.x86_64 --force. The solution provided for Bug 1659810 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1659810) does not solve the problem. The previous kernel, kernel-4.18.16-300 boots most of the times although, sometimes, it also fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-4.19.12-301.fc29.x86_64 How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. select kernel 4.19.12-301 at boot 2. screen blanks Actual results: blank screen Expected results: plymouth boot screen should be shown, followed by GDM Additional info: kernel-4.19.10-300.fc29.x86_64 also failed to boot
Sometimes dracut decides to put the new initramfs in a weird place because of BLS support, please do: ls -l /boot/initramfs-4.19.12-301.fc29.x86_64.img And verify that the timestamp matches with when you run the dracut command, to force dracut to write the right file do: sudo dracut -f /boot/initramfs-4.19.12-301.fc29.x86_64.img 4.19.12-301.fc29.x86_64
Unfortunately, regenerating the initramfs with the provided command doesn't make a difference. An updated kernel package, kernel-4.19.13-300.fc29.x86_64, has become available but it also doesn't affect the issue. Every 4.19 kernel I have tried fails to boot every time. 4.18 kernels boot sometimes. I had to reboot 5 times to be able to continue to the plymouth boot screen with kernel kernel-4.18.16-300.

Still I think this has something to do with recent firmware loading changes in the amdgpu driver. You may want to add yourself to the Cc of bug 1663204, where a similar issue is being discussed.
Could you please check the relevant bug number you mentioned?
(In reply to nbogiatzoglou from comment #4) > Could you please check the relevant bug number you mentioned? You are right I somehow mentioned the wrong bug number, the bug I was trying to reference is bug 1663126.
Rereading my comment, I realized that it's hard to understand what I meant :) The bug number that is mentioned in Comment 3 is the same as this bug, could you please provide the correct one? Thanks!
Yes I understood already but I accidentally made my reply comment private, this is fixed now. The bug I was trying to refer to is bug 1663126.
The two bugs seem similar but, in my case, initramfs contains the firmware files: sudo lsinitrd -k 4.18.16-300.fc29.x86_64 | grep -i raven -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 37376 Jul 26 14:15 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_asd.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9344 Jul 26 14:15 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_ce.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 316 Jul 26 14:15 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_gpu_info.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17536 Jul 26 14:15 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_me.bin -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 268048 Jul 26 14:15 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_mec2.bin -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 0 Jul 26 14:15 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_mec.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21632 Jul 26 14:15 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_pfp.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39036 Jul 26 14:15 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_rlc.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17408 Jul 26 14:15 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_sdma.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 341728 Jul 26 14:15 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_vcn.bin sudo lsinitrd -k 4.19.12-301.fc29.x86_64 | grep -i raven -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49664 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_asd.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9344 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_ce.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 316 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_gpu_info.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17536 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_me.bin -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 268048 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_mec2.bin -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 0 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_mec.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21632 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_pfp.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39036 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_rlc.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17408 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_sdma.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 341728 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_vcn.bin sudo lsinitrd -k 4.19.13-300.fc29.x86_64 | grep -i raven -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49664 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_asd.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9344 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_ce.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 316 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_gpu_info.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17536 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_me.bin -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 268048 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_mec2.bin -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 0 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_mec.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21632 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_pfp.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39036 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_rlc.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17408 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_sdma.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 341728 Dec 4 12:27 usr/lib/firmware/amdgpu/raven_vcn.bin
