The bug persists in 3.11.1 ("Latest Stable Kernel"). 2. The Boot-up hang problem Encountered in bisecting for the subject bug. Certain commits hang up on boot. Hard (you have to press the Chernobyl button to restart the machine.) Note: as a "side effect" of those occurrences, the subject X11 bug becomes moot. (I suspect some would consider this a _good_ side effect). I pinpointed the offending commit by looking at the parents of c03ff9e8: c03ff9e8fa5fc0186158b99a89f613325ff352cf hangs on boot-up 30f4e0870d1726f31aa59804337cfd5e0a3f2ec7 hangs on boot-up 791dc143ed2c441f5202d8721609d94dce9fcf88 GOOD ... a0376b1481fdb9c9e8064ea0c5af8bd80da3f8f3 GOOD ... 79442c3af0525e81d4598e272abe5db60c489c62 GOOD ... 99bd5537bd22256866d83033e0aab2586616bcc2 GOOD ------ So the boot-up hard HANG problem starts with commit 30f4e0870d1726f31aa59804337cfd5e0a3f2e Author: Ben Skeggs <<a href="mailto:bskeggs@redhat.com">bskeggs@redhat.com</a>> Date: Sun Jun 9 16:08:22 2013 +1000 drm/nvc0-/gr: make register lists from initvals functions Generated context verified to be the same for all supported chipsets.

To clear up the confusion I created by confusing dates with commit order, ancestors and the like. I performed a "manual" bisect procedure in the "lineage" of 8f6fe267 where the subject bug is introduced (and where 5ee86c41 is indeed an ancestor of 56fbd2b65). Legend GOOD - Clean boot-up to text/console mode (level 3). Clean X11/Xorg (level 5) HANG - Hard hang on boot-up (to text/console mode). FLAKY - Flaky X11 cursor: after, say, starting xterm and exiting it, the cursor disappears and you have to restart the machine. BAD - X11/Xorg is hung. FWIW, cursor can still be moved with the left mouse. No other reaction. The Subject BUG.
