It looks though as if we attempt a modeset, so new stuff for you to test: - Maybe try to enable the netconsole only at runtime, ime that helps with such cases (it's already garbled in early boot ...). - Please start X with a really dumb desktop enviroment (failsafe with just a shell) to check whether the automatic modeset is the issue, or the hotplug handling itself. You can't just stop X, since the kms fbcon will also do an automatic modeset. - Please boot with VGA plugged in and enable/disable the VGA output with xrandr manually (your DE might again get in the way, some do a lot of automagic for display configuration). If we're really unlucky, the above works and the kernel only dies when the modeset follows the hotplug right away ...</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
