ERROR HELP: radeon 0000:01:05.0: DVI-D-1: EDID block 0 invalid.

[Drunet]

Hi All-

I have installed a fresh copy of FC14 and when I logged in locally for the first time I was getting the error messages below. Now these same messages are filling up my messages log and it's running non stop in the background. Has anyone seen anything on this error? I have searched through Google looking for help and I'm not finding much.

This box is a simple file/web server with no monitor hooked up and no GUI. I have also included the lspci ouput below if that might help. Really looking for any suggestions or input on how I might stop the error reporting since is filling up my log files quickly.

I wonder if disabling the radeon framebuffer would stop this error...

You could try adding radeon.modeset=0 to the kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.conf and see if that works.

I've got the same problem and there is no help yet: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=253764
after unsuccessfully turning to rawhide (F15) I am currently experimenting with F12 installations and have partial success - the messages are not a flood anymore but GPU is still struggling.
