RX6800 support requires firmware-amd-graphics newer than 20201118-1 (sid
has 20201218-1).

The BTS isn't a user support forum (see https://www.debian.org/support),

mixing distributions like this can result in an "if it breaks, you get
to keep the pieces and debug it on your own" scenario.

The graphics stack is made of up of packages from linux-source,
firmware, llvm-toolchain, mesa, and now the new vulkan stuff.  When
mixing distributions, it is the user's responsibility to ensure that the
mix of packages installed to the system doesn't result in a random and
broken state of incompatible versions.

  https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian

With a supported distribution, test for GPU success, then if it doesn't
work, shutdown, reboot with ctrl+alt+del, add "nomodeset=1" to the
kernel cmdline, as root run "journalctl -k --boot=-1 | xz >
boot.log.xz", and attach that log to this bug.

If you're accessing the system using ssh, "journalctl -k | xz >
boot.log.xz" without a reboot, and send that log to this bug.

For this bug to be actionable, you'll need to make it reproducible on a
supported distribution.  This means using only bullseye/testing (testing
doesn't have new enough firmware-amd-graphics), or using unstable/sid.
Please take care to manually downgrade any packages installed from
experimental to their version in sid; however, note that package
downgrades are also not supported...

An easier option may be to create a minimal unstable/sid installation on
a USB stick, ensure firmware-amd-graphics 20201218-1 is installed, boot
from that, and test for a functional Linux framebuffer (with modesetting)
console, and provide logs to this bug report if this simple test fails.

Regards,
Nicholas
