Keeps hanging after initramfs; it cannot parse the ROM Normally it shows an invalid ROM error (don't know why, but it works fine). No issues so far on Linux <4.2.
Make sure you have the necessary firmware installed. 4.2 added support for VCE on SI hardware so you need to make sure you have the vce firmware installed and available in your initrd. http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/radeon/TAHITI_vce.bin
Thanks! Didn't know a firmware upgrade was needed. Will try and report if it works again.
It's just a new firmware for the VCE (video encode) block. It should eventually boot, you just have to wait for the kernel firmware loader to time out.

I've updated the linux-firmware packages (Arch Linux has it in testing) and indeed it now boots without any issues. Thanks again for the help!

This bug report is the reason for i've pushed the package in the testing repo :)
Ah OK, well it works fine now. :) If any (debug) info should be needed, feel free to ask. :)
