The problem is that if you load radeonkms from the loader or you build it into your kernel, it can't load the relevant firmware(s): error: [drm:pid0:r600_init_microcode] *ERROR* r600_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeonkmsfw_RV710_pfp" error: [drm:pid0:rv770_startup] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware! This is because /boot isn't available at the time the card is initialized: / is not mounted yet. The solution is to load firmware(s) from the loader too (or build them into the kernel). To know which firmware(s) are used by your card, you can boot without radeonkms, kldload it after the computer booted, and run: kldstat | grep radeonkmsfw -- Jean-Sébastien Pédron [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlKq7iEACgkQa+xGJsFYOlNjDwCeOH1b0xxw3+xkTGtpCzH3ArvJ 9AEAnRktY18oG6a1FF7MK2ZPp8CRrm/W =ypvb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
