My previous release is: Buster I am upgrading to: Bullseye Archive date: ? Upgrade date: 2021-11-21 uname -a before upgrade: (kernel: linux-image-4.19.0-18-amd64 4.19.208-1) uname -a after upgrade: Linux rappel 5.10.0-9-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.70-1 (2021-09-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux Method: apt Contents of /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main Further Comments/Problems: The update went fine without errors. But booting with the new kernel did not work. The display went black shortly after loading the new kernel. I think it was the moment when it normally changes the display resolution. The boot process did not continue. Keyboard and mouse were not functioning. I had to hard switch off the computer. There were no logs written to disk. Fortunately my old kernel linux-image-4.19.0-18-amd64 was still able to boot. I solved the problem by inserting a boot parameter "intel_iommu=off" to grub. With this parameter the kernel from bullseye linux-image-5.10.0-9-amd64 was able to boot properly and the graphic was fine on console and with x. The kernel from buster did not need this boot parameter. I think the problem is, that the i915 gpu driver has difficulties to initialise my old intel graphic chip. According to lspci it is: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Fujitsu Technology Solutions 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at f0200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K] I/O ports at 1c70 [size=8] Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Expansion ROM at 000c0000 [virtual] [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 I hope this report will be useful to other people trying to run the bullseye kernel on old intel hardware.
