Are you using kernel modesetting? If you are then you have to get your
microcode built into the kernel.
You need CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, and provide the filenames of the
firmware you require (in the form of a space delimited string) to run
your graphics card.
You also need CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR to tell the kernel where to find
the microcode. Mine is set to /lib/firmware.

I don't think it has anything to do with HAL. Check to make sure if you
are now running Kernel Modesetting where the previous kernel wasn't.
