Two machines with:

# unameALL
Linux desk 4.18.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.18.20-2 (2018-11-23) x86_64 GNU/Linux
# lspci | grepE vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02)

and

# unameALL
Linux G5000 4.18.0-3-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.18.20-2 (2018-11-23) i686 GNU/Linux
# lspci | grepE vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS,
943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

boot just fine.


kind regards,

In case such a kernel would be available somewhere i happily would test it.
Making such package myself is sadly beyond the limited scope of personal 
expertise.

For completeness:

I have the same output on an x200 thinkpad (Intel GM45) for 
lspci | grep -i vga
and can confirm a black screen at "switching to inteldrmfb from efi vga"

I have 3 Debian machines in the lab, and two booted 4.18.3 fine. One has a
Radeon GPU, the other is an Intel GM965. The one that gave me the black
screen at boot is:

lspci | grep -i vga

Bug#914495: nomodeset enabled boot

2018-12-04 Thread sixerjman
But the graphics mode is low res (1280x768). Also, 'nomodeset' is no longer
documented in the kernel parameters doc (
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt).

True of course.  But in this case there seems to be a very strong
correlation with Gen4 Intel GPUs. I believe every one of the reports
have had at least a lspci dump showing one of those. And a couple of
the reports had stack traces pointing to gen4_render_ring_flush as well.

Given this, there is an extremely suspicious commit added in v4.18.20: 

 06e562e7f515 ("drm/i915/ringbuffer: Delay after EMIT_INVALIDATE for gen4/gen5")

I do have an old laptop with an affected chipset generation, and
verified that it had the same symptoms.  But never got the time to
actually test any further.  Still, I do think that there is good reason
to simply try a revert of that commit.
