Does kernel config have: |
| 56 |
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y |
| 57 |
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y |
| 58 |
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y |
| 59 |
CONFIG_FSNOTIFY=y |
| 60 |
CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y |
| 61 |
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y |
| 62 |
CONFIG_NET=y |
| 63 |
CONFIG_PROC_FS=y |
| 64 |
CONFIG_SIGNALFD=y |
| 65 |
CONFIG_SYSFS=y |
| 66 |
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set |
| 67 |
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="" |
| 68 |
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_BSG=y |
| 69 |
CONFIG_TMPFS=y |
| 70 |
CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL=y |
| 71 |
CONFIG_TMPFS_XATTR=y |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
also this problem frequently results from graphics support attempting to |
| 74 |
invoke kms support with: |
| 75 |
modules instead of builtins |
| 76 |
with frame buffers enabled |
| 77 |
with the radeon driver enabled without building in appropriate |
| 78 |
firmware |
