Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

When the linux kernel is build with (typical kernel ship with Debian installer): CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FB_OF=y CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING=y CONFIG_FB_RADEON=m The offb driver takes precedence over module radeonfb. It is then impossible to load the module, error reported is: [ 96.551486] radeonfb 0000:00:10.0: enabling device (0006 -> 0007) [ 96.551526] radeonfb 0000:00:10.0: BAR 0: can't reserve [mem 0x98000000-0x9fffffff pref] [ 96.551531] radeonfb (0000:00:10.0): cannot request region 0. [ 96.551545] radeonfb: probe of 0000:00:10.0 failed with error -16 This patch reproduce the behavior of the module radeon, so as to make it possible to load radeonfb when offb is first loaded, see commit a56f7428 ("drm/radeon: Add early unregister of firmware fb's").
