Title:
Ubuntu 26.04: Screen Freeze Caused by amdgpu Crash

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
New

Bug description:
The screen freezes during both live and installed system boot when the
amdgpu GPU driver initializes.

As a workaround, using the nomodeset boot parameter or blacklisting
the amdgpu module resolves the freeze, though this results in a very
low resolution.

The dmesg output indicates a firmware loading issue:

I've tried not only the linux-firmware package but also downloaded and
installed the very latest version (commit
57303edc4101c1003ec45e91652f281ebd2f41b2) from git.kernel.org without
success.

The issue also persists with the following mainline Ubuntu kernel:
linux-image-
unsigned-7.0.0-070000rc3-generic_7.0.0-070000rc3.202603090038_amd64.

I'm reporting this for Ubuntu 26.04, but Ubuntu 25.10 is also
affected. However, older releases are unaffected, everything works as
expected from 22.04 to 25.04.

Interestingly, I have a Gentoo running kernels 6.19 and 7.0-rc4, and
it works flawlessly. No firmware loading issues or any amdgpu-related
problems have been observed.
