Hi,
thanks for trying to unbreak currently failing Geode builds.
Building images for geode has been failing because of missing
dependencies:
backlight.ko
drm_kms_helper.ko
fb.ko
ttm.ko
Being geode a speciffic hardware, where drm-radeon and drm-amdgpu modules
will probably never be used, disable both.
Fixing the kernel module dependencies is PITA, I know, but this simply doesn't
look like a proper fix to me, rather just like a workaround.
-- ynezz
It is indeed a workaround, but is it worth to spend time troubleshooting
something that is never going to be used?
I don't see why these modules were built at all. It's pretty hard or
even impossible
to run any addon graphics card on a Geode system.
At most they have PCI slots, many (the networking alix boards from
PCEngines) only have mini PCI slots.
drm-amdgpu will 100% never be used as it runs modern PCIe cards.
I don't find any good reason to mount an ancient AMD card over a
PCI slot (or mini pci slot + adapter) as they have their own integrated
graphics with a VGA port already.
