I tested all the 4.4 kernels, here are my results on X1000/R7-250X :
4.4.4 rc2 = KO black screen after "Booting Linux via __start()..."
You mean
4.4-rc4, don't you?

Seeing the same thing on my Sam460ex and Kernel 4.4 .
Having an isssue when adding Radeon TAHITI_vce.bin firmware to kernel.
When not compiled into 4.4.0rc kernels system boots but with error messages :
Direct firmware load for radeon/TAHITI_vce.bin failed with error -2
Can't load firmware "radeon/TAHITI_vce.bin
When I add the TAHITI_vce.bin firmware into the kernel it results in an oops:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xf000001c
Reported to the the dri-devel mailing list last month.

I have recently released the
Alpha9 of kernel 4.5.
New:
-
Linux Git log
- New Nemo patch 4.5-3
FYI: There are two kernels with different integrated firmware packages
vmlinux-4.5-a9-firmware-amd-graphics_20151018-2 (new firmware package)
vmlinux-4.5-a9-firmware-nonfree_0.44 (old firmware package)
Download:
vmlinux-4.5-alpha9-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz
R7 and R9 users: Please test
vmlinux-4.5-a9-firmware-nonfree_0.44.

"R7 and R9 users: Please test vmlinux-4.5-a9-firmware-nonfree_0.44."
Sorry... Not better

Therefore, still something wrong between 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 kernels.

Thanks for testing. I am compiling the
Alpha10 with the new byte swap patch by Alex Deucher.
Spectre660 was able to boot with the byte swap patch.
Hi All
The patch from Alex Deucher fixes the problem on the Sam460ex.
Regards Julian

Success booting with Alpha10!
Modules installed to libs/modules. What further testing do you need done?

I will give it test later today. I hope this means no more screwing around with radeon ucode and ...... and ...... and I'll go screw around with something else.

@xeno74
Will you be applying the byte swap code to the 4.4 kernel and patch file?
