If you prepare it, sure. I am willing to test it although it takes about 15~20
minutes to recompile a kernel.
Why don't you use KMS from the beginning?
I included radeon in initrd, but radeon in initrd complains like the below.
[ 4.227541] platform radeon_cp.0: firmware: requesting radeon/RS600_cp.bin
[ 64.227150] [drm:r100_cp_init] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!
[ 64.227295] radeon 0000:01:05.0: Disabling GPU acceleration
You saw it right. Initrd tried for a while to load the firmware and had it
display a black screen until it failed to load the firmware. I thought the
kernel was in a panic.
Unless I know how to have initrd recognize or include the firmware, compiling
radeon into kernel is the only solution for making KMS appear so early.
However, recompiling kernel each time I compile radeon would be a waste of
time, which emphasizes the importance of including radeon with the right
firmware in initrd.
