hi,
i am trying to set up a computer with an AMD Radeon Pro WX 2100 card:
https://pro.radeon.com/en/product/wx...n-pro-wx-2100/
I installed Slackware64 14.2, set up ELILO and upgraded the kernel to 4.14.13, by taking the source and .config file from -current. Upon boot, the boot process freezes with the following message:
fb: switching to amdgpudrmfb from efi vga
any ideas?
UPDATE: I updated the system with slackpkg upgrade-all (firmware was upgraded, too) and now this problem is gone. X, however cannot start.
This is the error message:

I tried AlienBob's liveslack for current and everything seems to just work. So, as a last resort, I can switch to -current... not my primary choice for a workstation, but still...
