Hi!
After update to 3.15-rc2, only top 20% of screen works on X.

This worked before. I believe it worked in 3.14. It definitely works in 3.11-rc2.
Screenshot or more detailed description of what "only top 20% of screen works in X" means? Anything in dmesg?
Actually yes, dmesg suggests it is quite sick. drivers/gpu/drm/drm_mm.c:767 warning triggered repeatedly. Also.. initial framebuffer does not work ; I don't seem to see anything before X start up. (This is Debian 6.0.9)
That says that i915.ko failed to initialise the GPU (or rather the GPU wasn't responding) and bailed during module load. The key line here is
[drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring initialization failed ctl 0001f001 head 00002034 tail 00000000 start 0012f000
Jiri has been seeing a similar issue creep in during resume, but it is not reliable enough to bisect. Is your boot failure reliable enough to bisect? Also drm-intel-nightly should mitigate this failure and allow i915.ko to continue to load and run X, which would be worth testing to make sure that works as intended. -Chris
