Package: src:plymouth
Version: 0.8.5.1-5
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hi,
I'm using Debian Wheezy and plymouth 0.8.5.1-5 with Kernel 3.10.40 on
an embedded system equipped with a Radeon E6760. For better graphics
performance I've installed fglrx and use uvesafb to get plymouth working.
Quite early in the boot process a kernel error message appears on the
screen and destroys the otherwise slick boot process:
[ 1.497550] [drm:drm_pci_agp_init] *ERROR* Cannot initialize
the agpgart module.
[ 1.497629] DRM: Fill_in_dev failed.
I found out that the drm kernel module is not copied into the
initramfs which apparently causes the error message.
I've attached a patch that addresses that problem and works quite well
for me.
Regards,
Lukas
