Can I tell the kernel not to try to load DRM firmware (for the console)? During switching from 8.2 to 10 back to 8.2 (see RAIDframe panic) I lost (well: moved somewhere else) /libdata/firmware which resulted in
drm: Loading R5780 Microcode drm kern error: r600_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeon/RS780_pfp.bin" DRM error in r600_init: Failed to load firmware! radeon0: error: Fatal error during GPU init radeon0: unable to attach drm: 2 panic: cnopen: no console device Luckily, I had an older kernel around that didn't try to load that firmware. Or can I tell the kernel the firmware is in /somewhere/else/firmware (on the root FS)?
