Solved Beelink Ser5 Pro (Ryzen 7 5825U) video issue

trev · 2026-04-09T10:41:34+0100

As FreeBSD 13-STABLE was nearing EOL, I downloaded the source for 14-STABLE and compiled/installed it.

To get the video working again for X, I deleted drm-510-kmod and libdrm and compiled/installed drm-kmod and libdrm again from ports. Rebooted and... panic when loading the amdgpu driver before reaching a prompt.

Code:

$uname -a

What am I missing?

One thing I was missing was to scroll back in the boot screen buffer after the panic where I found:

Code:

Could not load /boot/firmware/amdgpu/amdgpu_green_sardine_asd_bin.ko either
Could not load /boot/firmware/amdgpu_green_sardine_asd_bin.ko either
...
amdgpu_green_sardine_asd_bin.ko depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch

These files are installed in /boot/modules/ but for good measure I also copied them to /boot/firmware/ and /boot/firmware/amdgpu/ with no luck.

Confused because the kernel sources are present in /usr/src and everything was compiled under 14-STABLE.

trev · 2026-04-09T11:31:56+0100

Code:

$ pkg  info -D  drm-61-kmod
drm-61-kmod-6.1.128.1404500_8:
[...]
Please note that this package was built for FreeBSD 14.4.
If this is not your current running version, please rebuild
it from ports to prevent panics when loading the module.

It was rebuilt from ports but still panics.

Try to recompile gpu-firmware-kmod or the firmware suited to your GPU.

trev · 2026-04-09T12:20:48+0100

Recompiled gpu-firmware-kmod but no difference (I'm fairly certain I'd already recompiled it, but... to be sure, to be sure I did it again.)

Emrion · 2026-04-09T12:29:46+0100

How do you explain this?

I think you have copied too much files anywhere. If I was you, I'd uninstall this gpu-firmare-kmod and delete manually all the remaining files. Normally, you have nothing to copy, it's the job of pkg.

trev · 2026-04-09T12:35:32+0100

Yeah, after copying files to places it appeared to be looking, I did delete them. I also deleted the ports and reinstalled them. No luck. It looks like a kernel version mismatch but I don't understand how

And the solution was ... to manually delete the GPU firmware files in /boot/modules and reinstall drm-kmod. For some reason they were not being overwritten and came from the previous 13-STABLE installation. I just happened to notice the old dates on the files.
