Well Stephen, Christopher had me try several upstream kernels. I might be mistaken, but i believe those upstream kernels are the ones that are released to other linux distros as well.
Your right, it is very odd that a blinking kernel panic does not happen or any other errors. This last time i had to hard reboot i did get some sort of error message before ubuntu loaded, but it went by so fast i couldn't read it. I suspect most of the time though those errors are just saying my machine was not shut down properly and that swap needs to be cleaned. Well that's my guess anyway. still working to see if i can figure out the git commit stuff to narrow down which kernel commit specifically introduced it so the programmers can figure it out quicker and fix it. Each kernel revision (and i guess also on each commit between mainline kernels) they do have a change log. One suggestion in the ubuntu debuging wiki said that if the problem is indeed related to Intel GPU Driver then theoretically you could do a search for any commit that had changes to Intel GPU Driver and that would narrow down the search to find the problem. I dont know how to really do that though. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575467 Title: [Dell Inspiron 3451] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1297 at /build/linux-lts- utopic-vy2yyy/linux-lts- utopic-3.16.0/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:1743 vlv_wait_port_ready+0x126/0x170 [i915]() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1575467/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
