Description Torsten Krah 2013-08-06 22:03:47 UTC
Hi, did upgrade to a 3.10.2 and 3.10.5 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/.
After reboot my screen gets a green touch (kms console and X) - 3.9.2 from the same place does work fine, kms console got a nice black :-).

Did caputure a image with gimp but that did not work, i'll attach a foto from my camera if i am rebooting to this kernel versions.

Card is a radeon card:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Redwood [Radeon HD 5670]

Some things i should provide or test?
Comment 1 Alex Deucher 2013-08-06 22:34:23 UTC
Please attach your dmesg output.  Are you using an hdmi display with radeon.audio=1?  Can you bisect?
Comment 2 Torsten Krah 2013-08-07 17:06:48 UTC
Yes i am using radeon.audio=1. Disabling this makes 3.10.5 work without green screen.
Attaching dmesg from 3.10.3 - thought it was .2, sorry.

I'll try to bisect - may take some time, i'll try asap.

Whoops, your avivotool is too old to support "hdmi" (or you mispelled it). Could you update avivotool, please?

After updating I'll need output of "avivotool regs hdmi" from 3.9 and 3.10, both using radeon.audio=1.

Comment 10 Torsten Krah 2013-08-07 20:29:20 UTC
I am lost now a little bit.

To make sure rc1 did fail also i've installed all mainline ppa kernels from 3.9.11 to 3.10.5 including rc ones, to possible get a smaller bisect window.

Just bootet into 3.10rc1 and it worked.
Now i've bootet 3.10.3 and 3.10.5 - works - no more green stuff.

Did power off and power on the box, no difference - green is gone.

I did see this green one a few times until today everytime i boot 3.10.3 or 3.10.5 - now its gone *magic*.

Still those:

[   56.600787] HDMI: ELD buf size is 0, force 128
[   56.600803] HDMI: invalid ELD data byte 0

ones but HDMI sound is working and green is gone.

Any ideas?

I'll try to boot windows - maybe its there again after rebooting.

Comment 14 Torsten Krah 2013-08-07 20:46:47 UTC
So that is REALLY the trick.
After booting to windows (vista 32bit, latest stable Ati Radeon driver), its green again when booting to 3.10.5.
I don't even know now what i have done that it did work a few minutes ago with the same kernel.

So now the question is - what should i do now? Still bisecting?
Comment 15 Torsten Krah 2013-08-07 21:05:28 UTC
AddOn:

RC1 did fail after vista did run.
My first bisect kernel between rc1 and 3.9 did boot well (building next one).

After this i can boot to 3.10.5 without any green, so it seems the 3.9.x kernel does something that makes 3.10.5 happy.

I'll go on bisecting - but this will take time, because i have to boot to windows everytime to get the green thing back - and must boot 3.10.5 to make sure its really green before i can test a new bisect kernel.

I'll really appreciate any hints which make this not so cumbersome like it feels to me now.
Comment 16 Torsten Krah 2013-08-07 22:40:44 UTC
Some interesting effect running my second bisect kernel which is bad (green).
Turned my monitor off while next kernel is building, after turning it on again, green is gone.

Done with bisect - did take some time but got it:

d3418eacad403033e95e49dc14afa37c2112c134 is the first bad commit

    drm/radeon/evergreen: setup HDMI before enabling it
    
    Closed source driver fglrx seems to enable infoframes and audio packets
    at the end, which makes sense, do the same.
