kernel .config

Impossible to start X with 2.6.33rc kernel, because there is nothing on the screen except the cursor. The cursor changes if you get over an icon(or better: the place where it should be).
Switching to tty works.

[drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung
render error detected, EIR: 0x00000000

Compiling 2.6.32.* kernel with exactly the same settings works just fine.

Xorg log, output of dmesg, lspci -vxxx and lsmod and my kernel .config are attached.

Marked as a regression.
Comment 6 Gordon Jin 2010-02-09 09:04:55 UTC
This should have been fixed in 2.6.33-rc7 with:

    drm/i915: Fix the device info of Pineview

    Pineview doesn't has CXSR and need GTT-based hardware status page.
    It fixes a X boot hung issue on Pinview since commit cfdf1f

Problem is not solved on Kernel 2.6.33-rc7-git2 for me.
Neither can I start X nor am I able to switch to tty after xinit.
There is no cursor anymore, only a black screen.
Loading the i915 module manually causes a segfault.

I will an attachment with dmesg error.

dmesg 2.6.33-rc7-git2

Relevant part of dmesg.

Shaohua, can you take a look?
Comment 10 Christian Friedemann 2010-02-19 21:02:00 UTC
Wanted to write it yesterday, but there was a mysql problem with filezilla.

Problem fixed in 2.6.33-rc8.
