(So in the spirit of disclosure - This is a repost of something I put on reddit. I have been trying all day to get on here so I posted there first, I hope this is not a rule violation - Also this is a present installation of testing but it's about an install with the same errors when trying 12 - just assumed installation seemed best )
BTW - I have done a bunch of ddg google and searching on here. I didn't find anything about on install - Some things about accell gone after an u[grade etc, but I was just unable to find anything I could point to ad say this'll fix it
Hey all - some troubles here. I'm trying to get out from under the Canonical thumb, and trying to go pure deb. Was wary at first, the whole Debian stable is debian stale thing but I wanted to take the plunge, So I got copies of both 12 and testing.. This is to go on an old (9 year ish) laptop, so i expected some problems. I'm having troubles with this radeon card. I can install 12 or testing, but then it boots to a black screen. I can boot to Mint or Lubuntu (which im on now) as a live usb and work like that with proper graphics and resolution, etc.
Specs are: ProBook 6460b, i5 processor, 12G ram - yes weak for sure
Kernel driver in use: radeon
Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu
On boot, all the os's show these errors:
(again I mention that the card works - mostly - correctly on the live boots. strange artifact near the mouse, but not involved)
I don't presently have log entries from debian, but as a starting point here is some more from dmesg on lubuntu:
I have tried the non-free firmware, which seemed to be automatically installed, maybe only on testing i don't recall. I currently have testing installed, and can get to the cli on f2 if there are some other logs or something we can look at. I can "boot" with nomodeset, but that only goes to a login screen. When I try to log in it takes user/pw then flicks a few times and comes back to the login. Tried using advanced boot into recovery, that was a no.

Any help would be greatly appreciated![:)]( "Smile")
