I do feel that the importance of the mentioned bug is currently underestimated. Can anyone here give a note, how much current linux kernel is supposed to be stable on general baytrail machines?
If you did not get any replies... you might want to check MAINTAINERS file, and put Intel x86 maintainers on Cc list.
I'm sure someone cares :-).
Yes we care, and there are people looking at the various reports.
Are there any updates on the status of this issue?
The current bugzilla report [1] marks this as a power management issue. However, many reports indicate that it would only freeze when running X, so it's not completely clear if it's related to the gfx driver too.
Does
"intel_idle.max_cstate=1"
fix it for you?
Yes, it does.
If you feel it is X-only problem, you may want to provide details about your graphics subsystem (DRM enabled? framebuffer only?) and probably cc.
It's not X-only problem. Happens even in console mode, which is KMS switched during boot though.
...actually... you may want to verify if it happens in unaccelerated X.
As it happens even in console mode, is this relevant test?
No, no need to test with X.
Would it be possible to test in good old VGA mode?
