This machine previously had gentoo (2+ years old), I just needed fresh install because various reasons, but the config file for the kernel was used as base.
After installing everything, the kernel hangs at the infamous "Loading Linux 5.**.**-gentoo..." screen, unless I specify nomodeset
Few observations:

  • without nomodeset, not even the ssh works
  • the
    Code:
    CONFIG_DRM_I915_FORCE_PROBE="*"
    has zero effect (with or without the asterisk)
  • tried with
    Code:
    CONFIG_AGP=y
    and
    Code:
    CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
    and with both disabled, same effect
  • the AMD card does not matter for the moment as I'm using the onboard video card with a VGA cable anyway

As far as I read from the wiki, this model does not yet need firmware (was not needed with the old installation)

The problem seemed to be the AMD driver, removing it from the firnware seemed to work.
I also noticed, that I missed a TAHITI firmware file, but adding that did not help
