I think the whole initialization process should be the same everytime the system is booted, so that the ring initialization should fail every time. On I side note: Earlier I had an interesting problem. When rebooting the pc after a drm-lockup I could see the last screen before the restart. This means that some memory buffers were not completely cleared during the reboots. Maybe I have a similar problem here: The faulty register isn't rewritten on every reboot???</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
