Also, if I may digress a little here, I really appreciate the hard work you and others do to bring open-source Radeon support to everyone. God knows what it would be like if using Catalyst was the only option! Keep up the good work!

So let me get this straight. Is the Radeon 7870 supported? (As there is a post that says "Not yet", and right below that "yeah it is".)
(Pitcairn - says GPU-Z)
Because I installed a new kernel (rc4 from Kernel.org) and set up everything, but I still can't get it working.
I tried the 3.11-fixes first of course.
The problem (as you can see this adds up 2 minutes to the boot time):

I did update the ucode from the Phoronix link. Both files are present/updated that the error mentions.
