"radeon: error initializing UVD" in kernel 3.10 on hybrid laptop with CEDAR / R600

Tue Jul 2 07:09:20 PDT 2013

With self-compiled linux 3.10 on a HP Pavilion dv7 with hybrid graphics (ATI
RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series] / ATI Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5400
Series]) uvd seems to be broken.

The new firware files are installed in /lib/firmware/radeon:

The system boots without initial ram disk.

In dmesg it says:
