Issues with linux-firmware-amdgpu 20260910-1

Hello! I recently updated to linux-firmware-amdgpu 20260910-1 on my computer and noticed that on boot, it was giving me a bunch of DMUB errors on start up, about 200ish once investigated. It returned "(date and time) (devicename) kernel: amdgpu 0000:04:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data: DMCUB error - collecting diagnostic data" over 200 times in quick secession, especially on boot. I myself have a AMD Radeon 680M [Integrated] GPU. The only way I've been able to fix it is by downgrading the package to 20260810-2, which was before my system-wide update. I figured I'd post this in case anyone else with an AMD Radeon 680M is experiencing the same thing...

Does your system's initrd need to be rebuilt? Was the error present before the upgrade?

Re: Issues with linux-firmware-amdgpu 20260910-1

Same here, using AM5 System with Radeon 9070XT.

As this is the Newbie Corner I just want to make sure doing the right steps.

Downgraded package from cache:

pacman -U file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-firmware-amdgpu-20260810-2-any.pkg.tar.zst

Exclude fom update in /etc/pacman.conf:

IgnorPkg = linux-firmware-amdgpu

Rebuild initrd:

mkinitcpio -p linux

reboot

My system still freezes when entering KDE.

Re: Issues with linux-firmware-amdgpu 20260910-1

I had to downgrade both linux-firmware-amdgpu (from 20260910-1 to 20260810-2) and ddcutil (from 3.0.0-1 to 2.2.7-1) for everything to work again. But I also got different errors, like this: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/ … items/5811. Desktop is running on the iGPU (Raphael, Ryzen 9 7900), the RX 9060 XT shouldn't matter.

Edit: Probably this ddcutil issue: https://github.com/rockowitz/ddcutil/issues/629. Gonna update the firmware again and see if it works with only that one held back.

Edit: It's only ddcutil for me (but I guess some unlucky person could be hit by both issues). And the workaround mentioned in the issue linked above does work.

Thanks goeb for the tip with ddcutil. Downgrading to 2.2.7-1 worked for me.

I did not revert to the newer gpu firmware so far. I am just glad to be able to use my pc again.

I've downgraded ddcutil and then upgraded linux-firmware & friends back to the latest version, and its working fine.
So it does seem to be an issue with ddcutil. It has already been reported upstream to ddcutil, and there is a workaround to get it working on the latest version, but you might as well leave it downgraded for now.

The ddcutil issue probably needs its own thread to avoid confusion assuming there are two distinct issues.
