excerpts from the syslog of the crashed system, look for the garbled entries
Forgot to tell, that booting without the radeon.modeset=1 option does not seem to freeze the system. Wait and see... reported this bug in launchpad.net https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/489447 Can you try 2.6.32 or Dave's drm-radeon-testing branch? http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/drm-radeon-testing There have been a lot of bug fixes since 2.6.31. Thanks Alex, It might.... Sorry, I should have mentioned it before Since 1.6.32.rc7 when booting to GNOME I get no further than gdm. The system gets locked with a black screen and not SysRq keys working. Moreover, 2.6.32 stable and drm-next from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ gave me this even worse situation. Please see this report http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14331 Another thing is how can a bug be fixed, if no one knew of it, it seems, before I reported it? I have not seen garbled logs bugs since 2002, let me know if you had. Please let me know Thanks does booting with pci=nomsi fix the problem? If so, this is likely a duplicate of bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15626 |
After the upgrade to Ubuntu karmic 9.10 with 2.6.31-14 kms was pretty stable. Then with a number of upgrades including 31-14, the radeon.modeset=1 boot option would eventually freeze the system (with dri=on and the compiz features enabled). Apparently, this happens when windows are being manipulated (moved, resized, scrolled etc) Nothing seems to work then, except for the REISUB SysRq keys which would restart the machine. A very strange and weird fact is that these crashes either leave no traces in the system logs or render them unreadable just right when the system hangs. I will upload the logs in question anyways. Some (possible) ways to reproduce: Install or upgrade to Ubuntu karmic 9.10 on Toshiba Satellite L35. Then update the kernel images. Boot with the radeon.modeset=1 option. This system will hang eventually , when the session is run for some time and windows are being manipulated.
