I just searched the entire kernel source for the message "firmware is too big". 
The only place it was found was "drivers/media/platform/s5p-mfc/s5p_mfc_ctrl.c: 
         mfc_err("MFC firmware is too big to be loaded\n");". I do not think 
that is the problem. :)

Have you tried any other distros? A Live Medium should let you know if it has 
the same problem.
