[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 784168] Re: Kernel 2.6.38 doesn't boot showing either a black screen or junk
Hey, as I said on irc we need the /var/log/kern.log that contains the kernel boot messages with the bad kernel. Add 'drm.debug=14' to the kernel boot options, so that the kern.log would contain plenty of debugging information. Attach the logfile here. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784168 Title: Kernel 2.6.38 doesn't boot showing either a black screen or junk ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Hi! I tried to attach it, but I need help to get it. VTs are not available and ssh is not working. I don't have any other kern.log other than the one related to the last boot. I suppose it is overwritten.

you could also try booting 2.6.38 with adding 'i2c-algo-bit.bit_test=0' to the kernel boot options.. does it help? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784168 Title: Kernel 2.6.38 doesn't boot showing either a black screen or junk ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 784168] Re: Kernel 2.6.38 doesn't boot showing either a black screen or junk
just boot it with the good kernel and look for the kern.log.* that has the boot information from the bad kernel.. If there's just one then attach that one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784168 Title: Kernel 2.6.38 doesn't boot showing either a black screen or junk ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

actually, I'm pretty sure this is fixed in the upcoming natty kernel version.

I tried adding 'i2c-algo-bit.bit_test=0' and update-grub but nothing changed. I tried again to get a log but it seems like the 2.6.38 prints no log information. The kern.log I'm attaching is the result of more boots, some with 2.6.39 and some with 2.6.38. Only logs from 2.6.39 are there... It seems, after some hours of usage, that some other issues with graphics drivers I was having with kernel 2.6.35 after upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 are disappeared with 2.6.39. Like sudden logouts and complete screen freeze when in dual screen. ** Attachment added: My current kern.log. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/784168/+attachment/2134046/+files/kern.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784168 Title: Kernel 2.6.38 doesn't boot showing either a black screen or junk ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Ok, so the machine hung before the logs were flushed to disk. And it's good to know that the mainline 2.6.38.6 kernel fixed it for you, that version should hit the archive at some point. ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) = linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Triaged ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton) = (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784168 Title: Kernel 2.6.38 doesn't boot showing either a black screen or junk ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
