--- Comment #40 from Matthias Nagel <matthias.h.nagel at gmail.com> ---
@Cedric: Well this means, that the kernel could not find the firmware. There
are several ways how to do it and it depends on wether you have a initramfs or
not, if the kernel has access to /lib/fimware when it tries to load the fw, if
the the fw is directly included in the kernel or not, if you use an additional
boot manager, etc. With UEFI: Does your UEFI directly load the Linux kernel or
is there a boot manager in between. For example, I use "rEFInd" as boot
manager, but I guess Debian uses grub2 by default.

My setup is the following:
(a) Boot manager "rEFInd"
(b) No initramfs
(c) FW directly included in kernel. This requires "CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y"
and "CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=\"nouveau/...\"" to be set.

In my experience, putting the fw directly into the kernel is the easiest way,
because one does not need to bother with correct pathes and mount points during
boot. Unfortunately, I cannot give you more detailed advices, because I turned
my back to Debian long time ago.
