Perfect.  Marking so.

Could you try 3.3~rc6-1~experimental.1?  (I expect it will also work
fine, but there's always a chance that we could get lucky and narrow
down the range by a lot.)

If it works ok, here are instructions for testing 3.3-rc6 with drm code
from 3.2:

 0. prerequisites
apt-get install git build-essential

 1. get the kernel history, if you don't already have it
git clone \
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

 2. configure, build, test
cd linux
git checkout v3.3-rc6
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config; # current configuration
scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO
make localmodconfig; # optional: minimize configuration
make deb-pkg; # optionally with -jnum for parallel build
dpkg -i ../name of package; # as root
reboot

Hopefully it works fine.  So

 3. try drm code from 3.2
cd linux
git checkout v3.2 -- include/drm drivers/gpu/drm
make deb-pkg; # maybe with -j4
dpkg -i ..name of package; # as root
reboot

Hopefully it reproduces the bug.

If that works, we'll be ready to run a reverse bisect on the drm code
like Daniel suggested.

Thanks again for your patient efforts on this.  Sorry it has been
taking so long.

Just a proposal:
is it possible to apply this patch from Intel to the 3.2 kernel:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2012-February/015005.html?

This would allow to figure out by manually activating different rc6
states whether rc6 implementation is the root cause.
From kernel 3.3 on the settings and default beheavior of the parameter
i915_enable_rc6 have changed. Wheezy's 3.2 kernel does not include this
patch according to 'modinfo i915'

What happens if you use i915.i915_enable_rc6=0 with the stock kernel?
If that doesn't work, I doubt other modes (which are only more
aggressive about power management) will.

* [x86] drm/i915: do not enable RC6p on Sandy Bridge (Closes: #660265)

 What about Ivy Bridge - that's what me and Per are using. Is there
 anwhere a table on which devices which rc6 states are enabled?

From drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:

| static bool intel_enable_rc6(struct drm_device *dev)
| {
|   /*
|* Respect the kernel parameter if it is set
|*/
|   if (i915_enable_rc6 = 0)
|   return i915_enable_rc6;
|
|   /*
|* Disable RC6 on Ironlake
|*/
|   if (INTEL_INFO(dev)-gen == 5)
|   return 0;
|
|   /*
|* Disable rc6 on Sandybridge
|*/
|   if (INTEL_INFO(dev)-gen == 6) {
|   DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER(Sandybridge: RC6 disabled\n);
|   return 0;
|   }
|   DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER(RC6 enabled\n);
|   return 1;
| }
[...]
|   if (intel_enable_rc6(dev_priv-dev))
|   rc6_mask = GEN6_RC_CTL_RC6_ENABLE |
|   ((IS_GEN7(dev_priv-dev)) ? GEN6_RC_CTL_RC6p_ENABLE : 
0);

Ivy Bridge is gen7.  So RC6p is not masked out by default, and setting
i915_enable_rc6=0 will mask it out along with RC6.  If you pass
drm.debug=0x2 (or anything with that bit set, such as 0xe) on the
kernel command line then you can tell if RC6 is enabled by looking for
an RC6 enabled line in the kernel log.

2012-10-26 Thread Javier Cantero

Just a little bit of info I found reading the last changes to the
X intel driver:

Release 2.20.9 (2012-09-29)
===
And so it came to pass that a critical bug was uncovered in UXA. The
kernel does not like to pageflip when the pipe is off, yet due to the
delayed nature of a pageflip and the relaxed checking performed by UXA,
we could request a pageflip after turning off the display (DPMS). The
kernel rejected that pageflip and the error handling path failed to
restore sanity, and when the screen came back it was stuck on the image
seen before it went to sleep. (Note that there are also some related
kernel bugs, but this update should prevent the most conspicious of the
freezes.) Many thanks to Timo Aaltonen for his efforts in tracking down
the issue.
[...]

This is not the kernel bug, but the graphics bug. However, maybe is not
a bad idea to upgrade the X driver and see what happen with 3.2.x.

Meanwhile the author has updated to kernel 3.5.5-1-amd64 and all appears
still fine.

I am back and join the injured.

today I again had the known freeze after 3 weeks of freedom with 256MB
GPU-RAM BIOS setting. So my remedy did not cure the root cause. I now
installed kernel 3.5.5-1 from experimental - let's see.

The upstream comments are just what I exepcted, and what I'm used to in 
my 25 years as a system manager: don't bother reporting anything unless 
you're on the latest and greatest release or have paid support. Which is 
very understandable.


I'll give the suggested kernels a try to narrow down the problem. And 
I'll stay on 64 MB graphics memory since that seems to trigger the 
problem faster.

PAT is a feature of the ordinary MMU, not an IOMMU.

(The last I heard, Intel's integrated GPUs were totally incompatible
with VT-d (partly because they are not normal PCIe devices).  Linux
therefore doesn't allow them to be in a VT-d remapping domain.)

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/*.

The module was not loaded in recovery, and when booting multiuser, lsmod
shows no dependencies.

I did however find a working solution in the Arch wiki
(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_modules#Using_files_in_.2Fetc.2Fmodprobe.d.2F_2).
So using install i915 /bin/false in blacklist.conf, the i915 module is
finally gone.

The output from lspci/dmsg/Xorg.0.log is still identical and indicates

Per's CPU i7-3770 should support VT-d (in case the motherboard offeres

P.S.: I am still assuming that Per's and mine obeservations have the

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

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.

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?

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/*.

Per,

Hmm, BIOS you said. I just check my BIOS version and found that the MB 
was delivered with the initial BIOS version from February. Since then 
ASUS have release five versions, all with Improve system stability 
among the few lines in the changelog.


Now I'm on the latest BIOS (from August) and back on the 3.2.0 kernel.


To my knowledge mtrr's are still used (not by i915 as Ben Hutchings
stated) and probably here certain manufacturers of boards/BIOS probably
set up different configurations.

Probably it ist worth to try this kernel parameter with Wheezy's
standard kernel:

enable_mtrr_cleanup

to allow kernel to re-arrange them and see if it has any influence in
your case?


I will try that if I get another freeze, and if that also fails, try the 
vesa driver, and then work my way up in the kernel versions as suggested 
by Jonathan.


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 
it explicitly to 64 MB. However, this is what the OS reports:

(268435456 is 256*1024*1024.)


I also found this ubuntu bug report: lspci reports wrong video memory 
size (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pciutils/+bug/607991).


Could the same thing that fools lspci also make the kernel and the i915 
driver think I have more GPU memory than I actually have? On the other 
hand, the last freeze I had was with 256 MB configured in bios.


*UPDATE*

BIOS update did no good. Just had a freeze while typing this email. It 
only took minutes from reboot, and the trigger this time was 
doubleclicking the URI in firefox in an attempt to copy the launchpad 
link above.


Now I'm back up with 256 MB GPU RAM, still on the vanilla wheezy kernel. 
The output from lspci/dmesg/Xorg.0.log looks exactly the same as with 64 
MB. Strange.

A report for yours would still be worthwhile, so we can try to find a
workaround in the kernel for the sake of others running into the same
problem.  I imagine other OSes work fine with the default BIOS
settings and that it would be possible for Linux to learn to as well.

Drat. Ok.

To recap:

* Asus P8Z77-V LE.

* Newish system. Works fine under load (e.g., Folding@Home) but
when you started normal interactive use it started to freeze a few
times a day while you were interacting with it (in particular, the
freeze happens around the same time as a keyboard or mouse action).

* The freeze is a bad one --- the fan spins down, the NIC stops
responding, caps lock doesn't light up, ctrl+alt+del and magic sysrq
have no effect. No messages about it in netconsole.

* Happens reliably (how reliably? 80% of the time?) after a few
hours of sustained use (?)

* Logs available in the bug log. No obvious smoking guns. ;-)

* Changing the amount of memory allocated to the integrated GPU in
BIOS doesn't change anything.

* The above describes 3.2.23-1. Based on a week and a half of
running 3.5.5-1~experimental.1 it doesn't seem to be affected.

Correct, apart from the timing. It's been from a few hours to five days
between the freezes. But with very little interactive use during the
five days.

I can add that stressing the graphics doesn't seem to trigger the
problem.

None of the changes from 3.2 to 3.5.5 are jumping out as likely
candidates for the fix, but that's a pretty wide range.

What about the MTRR patch that Ben Hutchings mentioned above (commit
9e984bc1dffd405138ff22356188b6a1677c64c8)? Or maybe that's just a
cosmetic change? According to
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41648, this patch was added
in 3.5-rc1.

How reliably can you reproduce the hang on a known-bad kernel? If you
have time to try 3.2.30-1 from sid, 3.4.4-1~experimental.1 from
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux/ and 3.3.6-1~experimental.1
from http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux-2.6/ then that could
help narrow down the search.

With up to five days (so far) for a freeze to occur, it might take long
to narrow down the change, and the computer in question is semi
production (working from home), so the freezes are very annoying. But
I'll give it a try in the name of the good cause.

Maybe I should start with running 3.5.5 for a few weeks, just to make
sure that the freezes really are gone?

This makes as good a keyword for a web search as any.

It found [1] which is not too encouraging. Maybe memtest86+ could be
worth a try to rule some problems out.

[1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user.french/176707/focus=176710

Memory and cpu cooling were of course the first suspects. But I'm using
a large Arctic heatpipe cooler and have never seen higher temperatures
than +57.0°C on any core according to lm_sensors. And memtest86+ has
been happy. I ran an extra pass today (about 2.5 hours) just to make
sure, and everything was blue and white.

The french discussion talks about RAM timing and voltage, but I'm not an
overclocker (vanilla i7 3770, not 3770K) so that hardly applies.

And please note that with FAH running 24/7, the computer is always under
heavy load, but has never frozen while running unattended. Even when
running interactively, the freezes have never been random, but has
happened *exactly* when I was clicking or typing something.

Btw, I found
http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/10/06/ubuntu-12-04-lts-and-12-10-beta-2-on-intel-ivy-bridge-powered-computer/.
One of the comments indicate that 3.4 fixes some sort of freeze problem
on ivy bridge/HD4000. And the partiallysanedeveloper page that I linked
to in the initial bug report says that the freezes are gone in 3.3.

Here are some other other discussions of freezes on similar hardware on
debian derivatives with the same kernel generation:

Very little. I've had freezes so far, and all of the with almost no

As a rule of thumb, every bugfix in a complex enough system introduces 
another bug. So I suppose that sometimes a bugfux might accidentally fix 
another bug :)

With 256MB of RAM assigned to graphics all is 100% stable here since
over 2 weeks. Also 512MB seem to be no problem, just if I enable
Maximum DVMT.

I checked with the specifications of my MoBo (Intel DH77EB) and it says:

 Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) 5.0 support
 Support of up to 1.7 GB Video Memory with 4 GB and above system memory
configuration

So these 1.7GB probably exceeds what the driver (or PAT) is capable?

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

2012-10-07 Thread Ingo

Interesting to see the differences between the 2 kernels. Compared to
my messages I found following lines in dmesg have disappeared with 3.5:

mtrr: type mismatch for e000,1000 old: write-back new:
write-combining

[drm] MTRR allocation failed.  Graphics performance may suffer.

writing 0x900407)
i915 :00:02.0: setting latency timer to 64

while enabling RC6 states has been added:

[drm] Enabling RC6 states: RC6 on, RC6p on, RC6pp off


Probably a hint to the root cause?

I also compared the BIOS settings:

Javier has these options/settings:
Integrated Graphics Share Memory   [64MB]
DVMT Memory   [256MB]

I only have:
IGD DVMT Memory [256MB]

(which I called previously agp-aperture - ancient name when PC's had
a dedicated AGP-Port). This is the setting which I did change from
max - 256MB and got my system stable - which still holds right now.

However the mtrr setups (/proc/mtrr) are still identical with both
kernels. Seems the write-combining area has become obsolete - or
still not implemented in i915?

The driver calls ioremap_wc() which will enable write-combining through
the PAT in recent processors.  An MTRR is not needed and in 3.5 the
driver doesn't even bother to allocate one:

With me all is still fine since 1 week, however that does not mean its

So far we have only 2 common things in all cases:

a) it happens when browsing with iceweasel -  Javier can you also

b) appears to be hardware/BIOS dependent and we all have  4GiB RAM

There obviously is different memory allocvation/interpretation,

It would also be interesting whether Javier
gets a mtrr with write-combining with the new kernel and
whether BIOS settings for videoRAM are respected by the i915 module.

I have also tried the stress tactics, but it doesn't seem to have 
anything to do with load.

Not iceweasel in my case. I like my browsers bleading edge, so I use the 
64-bit version of vanilla firefox. And my freezes have happened on 
various mouse or kbd input, not only klicking a link in the web browser 
(see my original bug report).

I hade two freezes last saturday, and two the day after. The next freeze 
was yesterday (five days later). So testing different options isn't that 
easy.


So far I'm running whith the default wheezy kernel but with the iGPU 
memory set to 256 MB. My plan was to run with this setting, and if I had 
another crash, try the experimental kernel.


But let me know if you'd rather have me reset the video memory to the 
default 64 MB and try the 3.5 kernel.


Btw, my mobo is is an Asus P8Z77-V LE.

Bug#689268: linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64: Intel HD 4000 (Ivy Bridge) graphics freeze

2012-10-04 Thread Ingo

I can confirm this bug here too and found a temporarly workaround.

Ivy-Bridge i5-3570K on Intel DH77EB MoBo (H77 chipset), latest BIOS
EB0089.BIO.

These freezes happend most of the time when hitting a link in Iceweasel.
They are so severe that even the MoBo reset button does not respond
immediately, I had to hit it several times. Additionally when PC stalls,
monitor continues to display the frozen desktop (via displayport) and
power consumption rises from idle 38 watts to constant 86 watts - verry
dangerous if also fan regulation fails. Upon next boot I get orphaned
inodes - very much the same as Per Foreby describes.

System here is Wheezy-amd64 with
- kernel 3.2.23-1
- xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.19.0-5

Now I'll give the history what I did try with which result. Sorry if
it's not scientific, but probably helps to pin down the root cause.


It started when I was examining my logs and discovered the messages:

  [drm] MTRR allocation failed.  Graphics performance may suffer.

Checking mtrr's showed:

cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=0x0 (0MB), size= 8192MB, count=1: write-back
reg01: base=0x2 ( 8192MB), size=  512MB, count=1: write-back
reg02: base=0x0e000 ( 3584MB), size=  512MB, count=1: uncachable
reg03: base=0x0dc00 ( 3520MB), size=   64MB, count=1: uncachable

reg06: base=0x21f60 ( 8694MB), size=2MB, count=1: uncachable

So I decided to boot with kernel parameter enable_mtrr_cleanup which
seemed to solve the problem:

reg00: base=0x0 (0MB), size= 2048MB, count=1: write-back
reg01: base=0x08000 ( 2048MB), size= 1024MB, count=1: write-back
reg02: base=0x0c000 ( 3072MB), size=  512MB, count=1: write-back
reg03: base=0x0db80 ( 3512MB), size=8MB, count=1: uncachable
reg04: base=0x0dc00 ( 3520MB), size=   64MB, count=1: uncachable
reg05: base=0x1 ( 4096MB), size= 4096MB, count=1: write-back
reg06: base=0x2 ( 8192MB), size=  512MB, count=1: write-back
reg07: base=0x21f60 ( 8694MB), size=2MB, count=1: uncachable
reg08: base=0x21f80 ( 8696MB), size=8MB, count=1: uncachable
reg09: base=0x0e000 ( 3584MB), size=  256MB, count=1: write-combining

At least since then (don't know whether before as well) the
freezes/crashes were observed, sometimes more than once a day.

Did try a lot to find the root cause and finally found following workaround:

Default setting in the BIOS of the DH77EB for video agp-aperture is
max (values of 64, 128, 256 and 512MB are offered as options).
I played around with different BIOS settings and observed that these
settings are not respected by the i915 module. Dmesg always reports
256MB for the aperture:

dmesg | grep agp
Linux agpgart interface v0.103
agpgart-intel :00:00.0: Intel Ivybridge Chipset
agpgart-intel :00:00.0: detected gtt size: 2097152K total, 262144K
mappable
agpgart-intel :00:00.0: detected 65536K stolen memory
agpgart-intel :00:00.0: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xe000

So I decided to set the BIOS AGP-aperture to 256MB as well and removed
the kernel parameter 'enable_mtrr_cleanup'.

I now get for the mtrr's:

reg00: base=0x0 (0MB), size= 8192MB, count=1: write-back
reg01: base=0x2 ( 8192MB), size=  512MB, count=1: write-back
reg02: base=0x0e000 ( 3584MB), size=  512MB, count=1: uncachable
reg03: base=0x0dc00 ( 3520MB), size=   64MB, count=1: uncachable
reg04: base=0x0db80 ( 3512MB), size=8MB, count=1: uncachable
reg05: base=0x21f80 ( 8696MB), size=8MB, count=1: uncachable
reg06: base=0x21f60 ( 8694MB), size=2MB, count=1: uncachable

still suffering graphics performance and mtrr missmatch according to
dmesg:

mtrr: type mismatch for e000,1000 old: write-back new:
write-combining
[drm] MTRR allocation failed.  Graphics performance may suffer.

But since then I have never obseved any cras/freeze for days now.

If more information is required, please let me know (logs did never
contain any information related to the crashes). My suspicion for the
cause is some memory or communication missmatch between BIOS-setting,
mtrr's and agp-aperture.

Same here. I press reset and the computer reboots 20 seconds later.

I also use displayport. It seems like the last screen is cached in the

just get a black screen.

Don't know about power, but if this is true, the reset delay may very 
well be the temperature rising until the temperature protection resets 
the computer.



Upon next boot I get orphaned inodes


Me too, but this is of course expected on a cold reset.

I played around with different BIOS settings and observed that these

So the problem seems to be that i915 ignores (or cannot read) the BIOS

My BIOS setting is called iGPU-Memory. It was by default at 64 MB.

Identical to my logs.


So I decided to set the BIOS AGP-aperture to 256MB as well and removed
the kernel parameter 'enable_mtrr_cleanup'.


Changed my setting to 256 MB as well.

could extract from internet searches regarding this issue, I concluded:

1. i915 drm driver uses kms and additionally requires framebuffer support.

2. for normal graphics operation and 3D acceleration it uses
 agp communication (use of mtrr is depreciated).

3. however framebuffer seems to use mtrr for communication.

So finally both have to match somehow or properly switch over.

When the problem/freeze occurred I had beforehand booted into my service
system which is a minimal Wheezy without graphics, just terminal. This
of course just uses framebuffer.

Maybe the this switching also triggered the freeze?

This is just a guess from me, beeing definitely no expert in Linux and I
do not have any idea of the internals of driver or kernel.

 Jonathan: netconsole didn't log anything interesting.

Thanks.  Even the absence of output can be interesting; do you have the log
from that boot and freeze?

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

Hi,

Per Foreby wrote:

 This always happens on interactive input. So far these four events:

 - close a window
 - click a link in firefox
 - ctrl-r to reload a page in firefox
 - ctrl-k to delete a line in thunderbird's composer

 The computer is completely frozen. The cpu probably stops working since the
 fan spins down to it's lowest rpm, I can't ping the interface, caps lock
 doesn't light up, has to be power cycled. And no clues in the logs.

Can you get a log from this happening with netconsole[1] or a serial
console[2]?  (It's ok if it doesn't catch the freeze --- it's just
that as full a log as possible of the context would be useful.)

If you can reproduce this with 3.5.y from experimental as well, please
report this upstream following instructions from [3] and let us know
the bug number so we can track it.

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan

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


Hi,

serial ports are rare these days, but I have netconsole running now 
(logging to syslogd on my server).


So far the only log messages on the remote server are from netconsole 
itself. Which leads me to this question: Are the default kernel 
debugging options OK, or do I need to enable more debugging?


I'll wait for the freeze to happen once more, and if it does, I will try 
the latest kernel from experimental.

Does that mean it didn't capture the boot messages?

Either way, if you can handle the log spew then drm.debug=0xe would be
great.  But a log without that would already be interesting since it
would catch the basic setup at boot time and symptoms such as
assertion failures (kernel BUG or WARNING) near the time of the
freeze.

netconsole is compiled as a module, so I never rebooted, just loaded it 
with modprobe.

OK, now freshly rebooted with this config:

  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=netconsole=@/,514@192.168.201.1/ drm.debug=0xe

The debug logging from drm isn't forwarded via netconsole, so I suppose 
it isn't supposed to? (Even though I've been working with unix/linux for 
the last 25 years, kernel debugging isn't my everyday trade.) But I have 
removed the minus from /var/log/kern.log in the syslog config, so 
hopefully everything should stick to the local log file. Or at least 
everything but the last crucial line, which netconsole hopefully will catch.


So far i doesn't spew that much, it typically looks like this over and 
over again:


  [drm:i915_driver_open],
  [drm:i915_getparam], Unknown parameter 16
  [drm:i915_getparam], Unknown parameter 17
  [drm:i915_getparam], Unknown parameter 17
  [drm:intel_crtc_cursor_set],
  [drm:intel_crtc_cursor_set], cursor off
  [drm:intel_crtc_cursor_set],
  [drm:intel_crtc_cursor_set],
  [drm:intel_crtc_cursor_set], cursor off

Now we'll just have to wait and see. This is my workstation at home, and 
during the weekdays I don't use it as much as on weekends, so it might 
take longer to trigger the bug the next time.

Oh, that's because of the console_loglevel setting[1].  You can change
it by running dmesg -n 8 (or by adding the word debug or a
loglevel= parameter to the kernel command line).

Thanks again for your help and patience.

 Of course, I did not disconnect the mouse or shake its USB cable. :(

Based on the timestamps, does that message come immediately before the
freeze or just some time before it?  (If the latter, it's hopefully a
red herring.)

This seems like a different problem than Per experienced, since
Per's locks up the machine, so please file a separate bug.  If
they turn out to have the same cause, we can merge them later.

Ah, RTFM :)

However, it looks like the netconsole documentation and the dmesg man 
page should be updated:


  # dmesg -n 8
  dmesg: unknown level '8'

Instead I tried

  # dmesg -n debug
  # dmesg -E

but still nothing at the remote end. Instead I added remote logging of 
kern.* in rsyslog.conf, so now I have everything at the server.

Yes, I vaguely remember having struggled with the same issue the last
time I use netconsole.  Try 

 echo 8 /proc/sys/kernel/printk

instead.

I believe the bug is in the dmesg utility.  It should shift all values
by one. Setting dmesg -n debug will currently log all messages with a
level *higher* than debug.

 Instead I added remote logging of
 kern.* in rsyslog.conf, so now I have everything at the server.

As long as you don't crash anything...
