Are you using kernel modesetting? If you are then you have to get your |
| 16 |
microcode built into the kernel. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
You need CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, and provide the filenames of the |
| 19 |
firmware you require (in the form of a space delimited string) to run |
| 20 |
your graphics card. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
You also need CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR to tell the kernel where to find |
| 23 |
the microcode. Mine is set to /lib/firmware. |

I don't think it has anything to do with HAL. Check to make sure if you |
| 33 |
are now running Kernel Modesetting where the previous kernel wasn't. |
