Re: [GNU-linux-libre] Differences between Trisquel's kernel and linux-libre for i915 (video)

there is another relevant tid-bit that Edgar did not mention here - parabola's linux-libre behaves the same; so that reasonably eliminates any peculiarities of the distro - it is probably a kernel configuration issue Edgar - you did not answer my question on the parabola forum - namely: > have you tried other kernels? - try linux-libre-vanilla and see if that works linux-libre-vanilla is configured differently than linux-libre and the others - also, what about the parabola LiveISO, does that boot? - if there is any difference, that could point to a clue (different versions, different configs)

Hi there, it appears you've reached the wrong mailing list - this one isn't for the kernel. The correct one can be found at https://linux-libre.fsfla.org. However, it's probably not useful to start another one there. As a case in point, I've already sought information from yet another separate location. Having this conversation spread out over many places might not be useful. pgpgGxyoOeEaT.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[GNU-linux-libre] Differences between Trisquel's kernel and linux-libre for i915 (video)
Hello. I got a recommendation to reach out to the linux-libre mailing list on Parabola's forum. Sorry for cross-posting (this is mostly a copy from a post on Trisquel). -- I have this system: https://labs.parabola.nu/attachments/1587 (Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P Integrated Graphics Controller). I am able to boot Trisquel with video and HDMI (which sounds great), but the same system with linux-libre 6.7 from FSFLA (https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/freesh/pool/main/f/freesh-archive-keyring/freesh-archive-keyring_1.1_all.deb) stops half-way into the init process (after GRUB). When using the kernel from Trisquel's repository, lspci shows: Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 Now, I am wondering what is going on. Why is the kernel from FSFLA not doing the same thing? -- On Trisquel's forum, jxself mentioned that there may be different reasons and may need more information. Let me know if I should stay there or continue here. Thanks. -- Sent with https://mailfence.com Secure and private email
