dmesg radeon kernel 3.10.7

I have tested to use UVD on my discrete radeon 6570.

My PC run with a Ubuntu 13.04, I have build a 3.10.7 kernel and installed the radeon uvd firmeware.
But UVD don't work, and when I watch the dmesg I have this error :
[drm:r600_uvd_init] *ERROR* UVD not responding, trying to reset the VCPU!!!

The radeon card is plugged in "pci express 1.0" on an 'old' motherboard(GA-K8N-SLI)

Thank you.

Make sure you update to the latest rlc firmware.  This is required for UVD support.  Also make sure all the necessary firmware is in your initrd if you are using one or if you are compiling the driver into the kernel, you must also compile the firmware into the kernel.

It seems I don't have the latest rlc firmware, I have updated them and I currently rebuild the kernel 3.10.7 for test again.

But I'm not sure than the firmeware are include in the initrd/kernel, how I can verify this ? (I use a kernel configuration derivated from the configuration of the ubuntu kernel).
Comment 3 Christian König 2013-08-19 14:28:17 UTC
An outdated RLC firmware is the usual problem for this. After updating the firmware you either neeed to run "update-initramfs" to get it into your initrd or "make clean" into your kernel source if you compiled it into the kernel.

Anyway this bug can probably be closed now.

Update firmware, rebulid kernel, and call update-initramfs fix the problem.

I hadn't see the update of firmware file.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
