[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1609242] Re: All Kernels since 4.2.8 result in a black screen on boot

2017-07-24 Thread Kai-Heng Feng
Well, that will complicate things a little.
You need to copy `lsmod` to your build machine, then do what [1] describes.
Also, you should use "$ make -j`nproc` deb-pkg`" to make a deb package, it's 
easier to move a deb package to another machine.

  All Kernels since 4.2.8 result in a black screen on boot

Bug description:
  When I install Ubuntu 16.04 on my computer the screen goes blank at
  login. I can blindly login and it boots but I cannot use the display
  (external monitor through HDMI).

  I've looked online for an answer to this issue but could not find a
  solution.  However, many people report this issue in forums with the
  4.4x kernel.

  On my main computer, I upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04.1. On this
  computer I was able to switch back to the 3.13 kernel which *does
  work*.

  On the same computer, if I use a 16.04 live CD, it does the same
  thing.  The screen goes blank.

  UEFI may be part of the issue as well.  I have it disabled in bios
  (set to legacy mode) but when I first boot, it seems to go into UEFI
  mode first and then, after rebooting with  it shows
  me the list of kernels. I can select the kernel from there but if I
  use a 4.4x kernel, it blanks out at encryption passphrase screen.

  There are also people with similar issues on AskUbuntu.

  Here's some basic HW info.  If you require more, please ask.

2017-07-24 Thread aproposnix
Thanks Kai-Heng! Just a noob question - Is it OK to compile the kernel
on a different computer than the one impacted by the issue? I assume
it'll be OK to do this.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1609242] Re: All Kernels since 4.2.8 result in a black screen on boot

2017-07-24 Thread Kai-Heng Feng
If latest daily build iso doesn't work, here's the step to do a
bisection:

$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
$ cd linux
$ git bisect start
$ git bisect good v4.2
$ git bisect bad v4.3-rc1
$ make localmodconfig
$ make -j`nproc` && make -j`nproc` modules && sudo make modules_install && sudo 
make install

Reboot to the newly built kernel.

If it's good, then go to linux source tree and type "git bisect good", 
otherwise "git bisect bad".
Repeat it until you find the regression commit.
