[Bug 1203211] Re: Kernel 3.10.0-4 fails on graphical boot with i915

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Yeah, my system boots fine with 3.10.0-4 if I remove all of the i915
parameters in GRUB too. Those parameters used to be required to get a
working framebuffer on the MBP 8,2 but I guess they aren't anymore.

I'll update the description and title based on the new information.

** Description changed:

  After updating today to kernel 3.10.0-4 on Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 (Macbook
  Pro 8,2), I am unable to boot graphically. Recovery mode boot works
  fine. When attempting to boot using integrated graphics, the syslog gets
  spammed with this sequence of errors over and over:

- This error does not occur on the previous version 3.10.0-3. Since this
- only occurs on 3.10.0-4 but the errors are GDM-related, I'm not sure if
- it's a kernel bug or a GDM bug, so I'm marking it as affecting both for
- the time being. I think it's kernel-related, though, because I never see
- any text on the screen, and the screen backlight never comes on
- (normally, I see a message about the wl driver registering my wireless
- card and IRQ #17 being disabled before GDM initializes).
+ This error only occurs if modprobe parameters are passed at boot, so the
+ problem appears to be with modprobe. All module parameters are said to
+ be invalid. After boot, attempting to insert a module results in the
+ same error.
  
  EDIT: Please ignore the version string in the below information; I'm
  reporting this bug from 3.10.0-3 but it only affects 3.10.0-4.
