Originally posted by bridgman View PostAFAIK the rv610/630 and rs780 were the first with any kind of DPM hardware, so older chips (r600 and earlier) rely on the driver for all power management.
The firmware available for it dates back to 2009 (r600). I thought that I could not use DPM due to a missing updated firmware, but the problem might be deeper (the card having no DPM hardware).
Thanks in advance.

and the (now removed) line indeed was radeon.dpm=1
not sure what I did wrong
guess I'll give it another try in a few days
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/l...=drm-next-3.11 so the branch drm-next-3.11 is the recommended kernel right now ?
the thing is: I used drm-next-3.11 and before that afaik drm-next-3.11-wip mentioned in http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...ne/040436.html which gave me much more silent and cooler operation (almost perfect)
the only issue was that suspend-to-ram wasn't working but due to the fact that it's wip it's no issue right now
thanks !
this http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/l...b1aee212922ade
and the following commits look like they make things perfect
will update the kernel to that state
thanks a ton for adding those !

Code:CONFIG_CMDLINE="radeon.dpm=1"

I'll trying this out again soon and report back.
If I remove "radeon.dpm=1" from the kernel command line, everything works (but no DPM).
The crash ocurrs so early during the boot process that nothing gets logged at all in journalctl. It's like the boot never happened...
