The Debian solution is to not build the dw_dmac module in the i386 and
am64 kernel configs.

The Debian solution is just not to build those modules in the i386 and
amd64 kernels.

Thanks for confirming. I'm working with the upstream developers to see
what should be done to fix this in a nicer way.

Cheers,
Scott

The solution appears to be to blacklist the dw_dmac module.

Cheers,
Scott

[Bug 1319149] Re: [HP Pavilion 11-n038ca x360 PC] Boots very unreliably

2014-07-19 Thread Scott Ashcroft
Hi,

I've been fiddling around with this for a while. Booting with init=/bin/bash 
allowed poweroff -f to work.
So I then booted into full userspace and started to rip modules out with rmmod.

It appears that the laptop has a Synopsys DesignWare controller embedded in it.
This makes the kernel load the dw_dmac_core and dw_dmac modules.
An rmmod of dw_dmac produces an instant lockup.
I think it is the same lockup happening at shutdown and reboot.
Blacklisting both modules makes shutdown and reboot work correctly for me.

I suspect that some sort of DMI based blacklist will be required in the kernel.
Exposing the hardware to user space probably isn't the best idea anyway.

Cheers,
Scott

2014-07-19 Thread Scott Ashcroft
What an odd response. I'm not reporting a new problem I'm offering a solution.
Surely it would be more useful if the original reporter tried blacklisting the 
modules which I suggest.
If he confirms that this is the required fix then what hardware I've got or 
kernel I'm running is irrelevant.

Cheers,
Scott
