Please report this upstream following instructions from [1] and let us
know the bug number so we can track it.

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan

Scratch that.  The legacy_pme setting should only affect wake-on-LAN.

The only interesting recent sky2 patch I can find upstream is
v3.6-rc1~125^2~264 (sky2: Fix for interrupt handler, 2012-07-03).  How
does a kernel with that patch applied behave?

A 3.6.y kernel should be hitting experimental this weekend, or
if you'd like to try the patch before then, see [1].

Thanks again for your help and sorry for the slow reply.

Sincerely,
Jonathan

Weird.  How reproducible is this?  Does passing sky2.legacy_pme=1 on
the kernel command line help?

Curious,

Sure it has USB (or can have it).  Maybe QEMU doesn't emulate that

I would expect this to be acceptable, but will await approval from the

Does the i915 module still load if you boot in recovery mode (kernel
'single' or 'text')?  If so, please attach lsmod output and output
from "grep . /etc/modprobe.d/*".

Bug#689268: Intel HD 4000 (Ivy Bridge) graphics freeze

2012-10-20 Thread Per Foreby

New freeze after a few hours (vanilla kernel, 64 MB GPU Memory).

Next thing to try is to blacklist the i915 module, but it doesn't seem 
to work. This is what I did:


  # echo "blacklist i915" > /etc/modprobe.d/i915-blacklist.conf
  # depmod -ae -F /boot/System.map-3.2.0-3-amd64
  # update-initramfs -u -k all

Module still loads. Tried adding modprobe.blacklist=i915 to the kernel 
command line, but still no success.


What am I doing wrong here?

I think this may be a hardware fault: I have now identified what
appears to be the physical situation under which this bug manifests
itself: it reliably occurs when I attempt to connect to an ethernet
without my power supply connected (i.e., running from the battery),
and never seems to occur when I am on main power.  So that is why I
think this is a hardware fault - I guess the bug should then be
closed?

Bug#691064: linux-image-3.5-trunk-amd64: Blank screen between earliest boot messages and X.

2012-10-20 Thread Boris Barbour
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.5.2-1~experimental.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

When booting 3.5-trunk-amd64 and 3.1.0-1-amd64 but not 3.0.0-1-amd64 the boot 
messages disappear early on 
(at switch to graphics console?), roughly after udev gets started. There is 
just a blank screen until X
starts, after which everything works. The timing and problem seem rather like 
#681743, but adjusting the 
brightness controls don't make any boot messages appear for me.

I noticed something strange with allocation of GPU RAM. In the old BIOS,
the default was 64 MB, but in the new bios, "Auto" was default. So I set

(268435456 is 256*1024*1024.)


I changed the "iGPU memory" setting to 64 MB once more, and rebooted 
with the 3.5.5 kernel to see how much memory was reported. No change 
from 3.2.0 - everything still says 256 MB.


Could this be the problem? As Ingo reported, his problem disappeared 
with 256 MB GPU memory, and for me it took much longer for the next 
crash to occur, so maybe it not entirely correct when using 256 MB, but 
enough to make the freeze very rare?


And for my success (for 11 days) with the 3.5.5 kernel, maybe memory 
allocation works differently so it never (or more seldom) tries to 
access GPU memory that doesn't exist. Haven't tried 3.5.5 with 64 MB though.



Back on 3.2.0 with 64 MB now to test this theory.
