Currently running into the same issue on my 7840U with 64GB RAM, with a 2.8k screen.
Had the initial bright white screen and then a black screen, then loaded into Windows and the resolution was screwed up and the AMD driver wouldn’t load.
Edit: Reinstalling the driver seems to have fixed it.
My Laptop 13 AMD 7840U (first gen. screen) running Windows 11 24H2 with all the latest AMD drivers (Adrenaline 24.10.1, and Chipset 6.10.17.152) just updated with no problems at all. Nothing unusual happened at all. So much so that afterwards I felt I had to go into the BIOS to confirm that the update had actually installed.
3.06 beta BIOS is working fine here with Linux (Manjaro) kernel 6.12 and KDE with the 2.8K screen.
PS. Running virtual machines is broken, however, “Virtualbox can’t enable the AMD-V extension. …”
if that help here is the list of commands i executed:
fwupdmgr get-updates
fwupdmgr update
# here nothing appeared
fwupdmgr get-remotes
# lvfs-testing was showing but just to be sure
fwupdmgr enable-remote lvfs-testing
fwupdmgr get-remotes
# lvfs-testing still present
fwupdtool get-updates -vv
# this one showed the update
fwupdmgr refresh --force
fwupdmgr get-updates
# still nothing here no updates showing
rm -rf /var/cache/fwupd/
systemctl stop fwupd.service
systemctl start fwupd.service
fwupdmgr refresh --force
fwupdtool get-updates
# finally saw it
fwupdtool update
# bios installed
Hope that can help you, i thought the refresh --force would invalidate the cache, but it’s seems not to be the case, and i don’t know fwupdmgr well enough to go further.
I installed this on my FW13 today via fwupdmgr (LVFS-testing), it did require that I had power connected (failed the first time because of this), but once power was connected I was able to update without issue.
I did not do anything at the “PD auto flash detecting AC…” screen, the laptop seemed to continue without my input but also appears to be okay? USB-C power was connected to the top-right port at the time.
Reusing a template from the (infamous) 12th-gen firmware thread, here are the versions I see in the BIOS after the update:
Installed on FW13 AMD with original matt screen. Got the white screen, which then turned black and then, after waiting a couple of minutes, defaulted to the standard (non AMD) driver. Got lots of error messages from Adrenaline. Clicked through them. Then restarted the laptop (didn’t reinstall drivers). Everything was OK after restart!
I upgraded the BIOS on my Framework with the 2.8k screen, I haven’t noticed any issues so far. The one thing I’m missing on the BIOS still is an option to enable ReBAR for the eGPU; is it on the radar?
I installed this on my laptop with the 2.8k display and Linux. The installation proceeded without issues, though I did have to wipe the /var/cache/fwupd directory and rerun sudo fwupdmgr refresh in order to get it to show up. On the first reboot after installation, it printed a bunch of usb usb1-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad? messages to the kernel log and the Ethernet module wouldn’t work. I shut down the system, removed power, and waited for the EC to shut down (when the lights on the Ethernet module turned off). After plugging it back in and booting again, everything seems to be working fine. That’s not a new issue though; I have noted USB screwiness on the first boot after previous firmware updates too. Other than that, everything seems to be working fine.
Yes, it (virtualbox VMs) worked before the bios update. I re-ran the module install, and also reinstalled the whole package, svm is listed by “cat /proc/cpu” for each cpu. Something changed with the bios update.
The full error message:
VirtualBox can’t enable the AMD-V extension. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR_SVM_IN_USE).
I used the EFI shell updater, yesterday; all working great so far. Including staying suspended when plugging/unplugging power, and closing the lid, while still being able to wake with a keyboard button press.
