So, I got Radeon kernel modesetting working fine after startup by falling back to a terminal, stopping anything using X, rmmod radeon, modprobe radeon modeset=1, and restarting X. However, when I try to setup kernel modesetting on boot, things don't work.
I thought it might be an initrd issue, so I remade by initrd with radeon, drm, drm_kms_helper, ttm, agpgart, etc. I checked my new initrd and the radeon firmware is there too. However, even with this new initrd, I can't get the machine to boot - let alone boot into KMS. Basically I get a screen that doesn't look like a KMS terminal and then nothing - no init, no udev, the machine just goes unresponsive.
Wondering if anyone here had any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
