Bug Description

The stock kernel produces many GPU lockups. As recommended in #ubuntu-x, I tried the kernel from drm-next and drm-intel-next. Both kernel crashes with different crash log. Both crash logs will be attached to this bug.

<Sarvatt> bdrung: go figure you have the screwed up board mentioned here too http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_sandy_speed&num=1 :(
<Sarvatt> just booting was screwed up for them, i'm trying to find any discussion on what the actual problems were
<bdrung> Sarvatt: my system runs fine with the drm-intel-next kernel (after only one plymouth related boot crash -> bug #733321)
<Sarvatt> bdrung: even without drm_kms_helper.poll=0 ?
<bdrung> Sarvatt: not tested yet
<Sarvatt> it looks like 2.6.38-rc8 should work if drm-intel-next works

I ran "phoronix-test-suite benchmark build-linux-kernel" with drm_kms_helper.poll=0 and without drm_kms_helper.poll=0 using the drm-intel-next kernel (2.6.38-997.201103081433) and it didn't crashed. This command should trigger a crash according to Phoronix.

bdrung, can you confirm that the 2.6.38-rc8 kernel (or newer) doesn't lockup or crash?

I.e., can we close this bug once that kernel gets in?

We can close this bug. The 2.6.38-7 kernel (based on 2.6.38 final) does not show these crashes. It hangs sometimes, but in a different way. I will open a new bug report for it once I can get a crash dump for it.
