Bug ID: 77471 Summary: VESA VGA to radeondri handoff results in boot hang Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 3.15-rc8 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) Assignee: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org Reporter: joshua.r.marshall.1991@gmail.com Regression: No
Created attachment 138461 --> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=138461&action=edit The kernel config I'm using
Suspecting a kernel memory leak involving radeon stuffs, I pulled down the kernel source, used "make localyesconfig" to automatically configure the kernel from my distro's configuration, did the typical procedure to make the kernel boot as per archlinux instructions and past experiance. During boot of the new kernel, a line saying the handoff from VESA VGA was handing off to radeondri for the framebuffer switchoff prints, CPU goes to 100% (from what I can tell -- fan speeds up and CPU kicks off heat) and does not progress. Even given a half hour, this doesn't change.
I'm not sure how to proceed other than filing this report.
