Bug Description
As an owner of a Radeon RX5700 GPU, I was really looking forward to the Eoan release which includes the Linux Kernel 5.3 and Mesa 19.2 - both with finally Radeon RX5700 (navi10) support. However, upgrading my system from Kubuntu 18.10 (working) via 19.04 (does not boot) to 19.10 resulted in a boot failure. Last message shown on the screen is:
fb0: switching to amdgpudrmfb from EFI VGA
After some research I found that the package linux-firmware does not include the necessary files /lib/firmware/
Please update the package linux-firmware and add the needed firmware.
$ lsb_release -rd
