Could you retrieve full "dmesg" output > from the 3.2.y failure? 2.6.32 has never heard of this GPU, so the i915 module doesn't initialize. The X server exits immediately, saying no device was found, but doesn't crash. The kernel panics on trying to reboot, but the stack trace shows a bunch of EFI-related functions, so it's probably unrelated. But let's make a note that yes, I installed with EFI boot, which is probably a lot less tested than legacy BIOS boot. I haven't tried if it is happier with BIOS boot, I could do that tomorrow if you think it's important. 3.2 behavior is now similar: i915.ko doesn't know the GPU, and X just exits because i915 isn't there. My last tests were with a 2.19 X driver, presumably the update to 2.20 made the 3.2 crash go away. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
