            Bug ID: 60741
           Summary: When using the 3.10 kernel, System boot is blocked on
                    the udev stage because of loading the radeon DRM
                    module
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.10.6
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocking
          Priority: P1
         Component: Video(DRI - non Intel)
          Assignee: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: zxd123314@hotmail.com
        Regression: No

Created attachment 107200
  --> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=107200&action=edit
I can submit my configure file...

When using the 3.10 kernel, I cannot boot my system. It blocks on udev stage(I
use systemd-197).
I fetched the firmware-linux-nonfree from Debian version 0.40, and there're
firmwares related to my GPU (HD4330M) now.(Including the UVD firmware).
It stops with the last message :"ATOM BIOS xxx".(I cannot re-try because the
suddenly halts of system causes my iwl3945 to break down.Now my notebook(Compaq
511-927) is in the repair store.)

I'm guessing you are getting a stall due to waiting for the firmware fetch to
time out.  Make sure your initrd contains the firmware if you are using one or
if you are building the driver into the kernel, make sure the firmware is built
in as well.  If you wait for a few minutes the the firmware fetch will
eventually timeout and the kernel will continue.  You can also try backlisting
radeon and then booting to a non-X runlevel and then try loading radeon
manually.  At that point the filesystem will be available and the driver will
be able to access the firmware.

My /lib is (ofcourse) on the root filesystem. And the whole DRM support is a
module. I waited for at least 10 minutes. I know the pain of waiting firmware,
but it cannot cost 10 minutes.(I used to have no firmware so I know the time,
It's at most 1 min).

Might be a duplicate of bug 60674.  Can you try the patch on that bug?  If that
doesn't help, can you bisect?

I cannot try now... And I cannot even boot, not incorrect display!
I said, my boot paused when start the kernel radeon module.
Sorry.

The patch is still be relevant, you may just have different symptoms on your
system. Without the patch garbage gets written to certain registers which may
cause the card to hang or cause display problems, or nothing at all depending
on what registers are written to.

Although I haven't apply this patch, can I ask: will this patch be merged to
linux-3.10.7?

It should make it's way to 3.10 eventually.  I'm not sure which 3.10.x version
it will end up in.

Today I have get my Compaq 511 back. The patch works! And I'm trying to enjoy
uvd hardware decode.
