The problem with the new update linux-firmware [SOLVED]

The problem with the new update. I have completed -
# pacman -Rdd linux-firmware
# pacman -Syu linux-firmware
after that, my system stopped booting. Installed amd gpu. It's just a black screen, and there's nothing I can do. With the nomodeset parameter, I can log in to the system. How can I fix it?

Re: The problem with the new update linux-firmware [SOLVED]

I had the same issue this morning, no time to try to fix yet but I'll probably chroot and revert the update if possible.

Any other ideas?

Also, did you run mkinitcpio -P after pacman? I didn't and I feel like I should have...

Re: The problem with the new update linux-firmware [SOLVED]

With nomodeset parameters, I can log in, but I probably won't need a chroot. mkinitcpio -P does not help.

Re: The problem with the new update linux-firmware [SOLVED]

Is the dmesg from the boot w/ "nomodeset"?
Fail to boot, do not reboot w/ the power button but frenetically press ctrl+alt+del or use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboa … el_(SysRq)
Reboot nomodeset and then please post your complete system journal for the previous (failing) boot:

sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Re: The problem with the new update linux-firmware [SOLVED]

I can confirm the problem with Radeon RX 9070 XT.

After upgrading to linux-firmware-amdgpu version 20250613.12fe085f-6, black screen (instead of SDDM).

Downgrading to 20250613.12fe085f-5 fixed the problem:
sudo pacman -U ./linux-firmware-amdgpu-20250613.12fe085f-5-any.pkg.tar.zst

Re: The problem with the new update linux-firmware [SOLVED]

июн 22 23:25:46 archlinux kernel: Command line: initrd=\initramfs-linux.img root=PARTUUID=97281fb2-c6f8-458f-bf96-b44dc5052d05 zswap.enabled=0 rw rootfstype=ext4 nomodeset

That boot was "nomodeset" - that's pointless.
The relevant boots are those that fail w/ kms enabled.

Re: The problem with the new update linux-firmware [SOLVED]

Downgrading the metapackage is pointless, there's nothing in it. You have to downgrade the actual firmware package.

wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware-20250613.12fe085f-5-any.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U ./linux-firmware-20250613.12fe085f-5-any.pkg.tar.zst

That didn't help me either. That didn't help me either. The screen is still black

Re: The problem with the new update linux-firmware [SOLVED]

intellq's solution worked for me. My problem computer also has a Radeon RX 9070.

karr, you may want the linux-firmware-amdgpu package instead of the linux-firmware one.

Something like:

wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/linux-firmware-amdgpu/linux-firmware-amdgpu-20250613.12fe085f-5-any.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U ./linux-firmware-amdgpu-20250613.12fe085f-5-any.pkg.tar.zst

Re: The problem with the new update linux-firmware [SOLVED]

I had to completely remove linux-firmware*, then

wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware-20250508.788aadc8-2-any.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U ./linux-firmware-20250508.788aadc8-2-any.pkg.tar.zst

Everything is working for me again. Now I understand well why there is no need to rush updates. hmm

Re: The problem with the new update linux-firmware [SOLVED]

Same issue as everyone else, I have a Radeon RX 9070.
Fixed by booting with nomodeset and downgrading linux-firmware-amdgpu to 20250613.12fe085f-5.

linux-firmware-amdgpu 20250613.12fe085f-8 from core-testing is also fine. The version from core is still the broken one though...
