<pre>Noting Benjamin's experience with EFI in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=63935#c8">comment 8</a>, I took a look at my 3
machines on which I am trying the UVD support. I have a laptop, a desktop, and
another (inexpensive) desktop which I use as a file server.
Desktop: JUNIPER, no EFI support (several years old)
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/JUNIPER_me.bin radeon/JUNIPER_pfp.bin
radeon/JUNIPER_rlc.bin radeon/CYPRESS_uvd.bin ..."
Boot results:
[ 0.816646] [drm] UVD initialized successfully.
Laptop: SUMO, no EFI support (not old, but not new enough for EFI)
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/SUMO_rlc.bin radeon/SUMO_me.bin
radeon/SUMO_pfp.bin radeon/SUMO_uvd.bin ..."
Boot results:
[ 1.650383] [drm] UVD initialized successfully.
"fileserver": SUMO2, EFI support (newest motherboard of the 3)
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/SUMO_rlc.bin radeon/SUMO2_me.bin
radeon/SUMO2_pfp.bin radeon/SUMO_uvd.bin"
Boot results:
[ 11.575783] [drm:evergreen_startup] *ERROR* radeon: error initializing UVD
(-1).
See <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=63935#c6">comment 6</a> above.
This looks like further evidence of EFI involvement with the problem. I cannot
see any BIOS settings that would allow me to alter EFI support on my
"fileserver" motherboard. The only option I could find had to do with PCI ROM
support ("legacy" vs "EFI"), but this had defaulted to "legacy" when I
installed the motherboard and I never touched it.</pre>
