This is vmware guest sfrench@ubuntu:~/xfstests$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 70 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4750HQ CPU @ 2.00GHz
(and using 64 bit kernel build) ... I don't have the Ubuntu config for their mainline kernel test builds any more (deleted the kernel since it didn't work) but they post their .config diffs at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/ I could not get to a console so assumed it died in kernel as x was coming up. I will have to reinstall current mainline to see if I can hook up a serial console (I had maximum kernel boot verbose in the grub.cfg but nothing interesting before the black screen) On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 6:44 PM, Felipe Balbi <ba...@ti.com> wrote: > Hi, > > On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 05:44:02PM -0500, Steve French wrote: >> Anyone know a workaround for the problem booting current mainline? >> 3.17 works fine for me, but recent mainline since 3.17 goes to a black >> screen near the end of boot as X is about to start. >> >> I also tried the Ubuntu build of the day (which also is based on >> current mainline but with the Ubuntu config just in case it was some >> driver issue) which fails the same way. > > you need to provide more information, here are a few queries which might > help: > > 1. which architecture ? > 2.
