Hello all, I have an intermitent bug on my computer (intel PIV, shuttle motherboard, integrated i845 video card): sometimes, at boot time, XFree (4.3.0, from redhat 9 package) fails to start. The screen goes black (or, more precisely, darkgrey) as the video mode is changed, and stays there forever. Keyboard is not responding (not even caps-lock or sysrq), and I have to reboot the computer. There is nothing in the log, the only information are the last lines written by the XServer in /var/log/XFree86.0.log:
(II) I810(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 5 at 0x067f8000 (pgoffset 26616) (II) I810(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 6 at 0x066f8000 (pgoffset 26360) (II) I810(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 7 at 0x05278000 (pgoffset 21112) (II) I810(0): Before: SWF1 is 0x00000108 (II) I810(0): After: SWF1 is 0x00000108 On a normal boot, those lines are followed by: (II) I810(0): Display plane A is enabled. (II) I810(0): Display plane B is disabled. (II) I810(0): PIPEACONF is 0x80000000 There is nothing peculiar in the logs of the kernel. As I said, the bug is intermitent. I should say it happens every three or four boots. Before 2.6.0-pre11, I have been using 2.6.0-pre8 and -pre9, and I don't remember this problem happening. Or if it did occur, it was much less frequent. Maybe I should go back to 2.6.0-pre9 to be sure. I really don't know how to debug a hard lock like this, or how to find usefull information. Every interesting information on my computer (config files, lspci, log of XFree, etc.) is available on <http://perso.nerim.net/~tudia/bug-reports/>.
