Hi,
Thanks for the advice. The problem I'm trying to solve is why the AMD
firmware isn't getting incorporated in the kernel.
How you assumed that firmware isn't getting to kernel? Do you have any
errors in the log stating that?
I have to boot with
NOMODESET.
What happens if you don't? Please show error logs when you don't have
nomodeset.
The bookworm updates, while coincidental, are probably not
the cause. "Something else" happened, and I need help debugging. I can't
see amdgpu in lsmod. I can see the firmware in /var/lib/firmware.
Try this:
inxi -G
