How recent? Is it present in Xen 4.8-fc25 (R4.0)? Xen 4.12-fc29 (R4.1)? Well, maybe the "recent" was not accurate, as in R4.0 this started after xen-4.8.3.3 - from mid 2018. In R4.1 this issue is there from the beginning, as it was not fixed since - being a minor problem affecting few (not so modern Fam15h) systems.

I don't have a debug card, so the symptoms are: when the computer wakes up with this issue, the screen remains blank and the processor start to heat up and the PC remains unresponsive. It doesn't turn off automatically you have to forcibly turn it off using the power button >5 sec. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
