Bernhard Hi Bernard, I just looked at my history in bash, and what I did was :- dnf downgrade xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-32.20171025 vi /etc/dnf/dnf.conf Appended "exclude=xorg-x11-drv-intel" as the last line in the file. Mike. Hmm, looking through the history list, there was a "yum downgrade" line after the dnf one. Might be that the "dnf downgrade" did not work. yum downgrade xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-32.20171025.fc25.x86_64.rpm that is the full filename of the rpm file.

Would be great if we could isolate the troublemaker and fix the problem. @Bernhard: You can check driver and firmware version with: [root@dom0]# modinfo i915 @Mike: Do you simply use working (i.e. old) driver/fw binaries with a recent kernel, or did you patch/install from source?

So I tried a new install on a new disc, but that fails even before finishing install, freezing as well :-( Even a plain "live debian" freezes from time to time with i915 errors, which gives a clue where the problem comes from.

How did you determine that it's the i915 driver in your case? Sad for you, but I am kind of happy that I am not alone :) Maybe you add your experience to my bug report https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/6397 as well? Sometimes I need a vanilla debian (life system on usb) to uefi-debug / emergencybackup. And even that one hangs from time to time, by spitting out a last word [drm:intel_cpu_fifo_underrun_irq_handler [i915]] ERROR CPU pipe A FIFO underrun Since the std debian is very stable and much less complex than xen + qubes, I take that as a hint (badly enough, when qubes freezes happen, qubes dies faster than kernel logs are written, so I have no other starting point anyways). For these reasons, my suspicion was early on the i915 driver. Also, i915 seems known problematic from 5.x kernels onwards any kind of other linuxes (google it). cheers, Bernhard P.S: my chipset is an intel 620 [8086:5917] rev 07. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
