I booted (with 3.17rc6) and got a successful accelerated boot - the first time that's ever happened. Performance was *very* slow, though - way slower than with nomodeset. Then I booted again, and it black screened again. I grabbed logs from both boots, I'll attach them. I did some dumb grep and cut on the logs so they were vaguely comparable and ran a diff, and the diff is weirdly small, and mostly just things happening in a different order - I just can't see a lot of difference between the 'failure' and 'success' cases. Very strange.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
