dmesg log
Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion dv6-3111sa laptop (circa 2010) with 2 GPUs:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI] RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250] [1002:9712]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI] Park [Mobility Radeon HD 5430/5450/5470] [1002:68e0] (rev ff)
I am running Ubuntu 16.04.2 with kernel Ubuntu 4.8.0-36.36~16.04.1-generic
4.8.11
The screen usually freezes for a fraction of a second and then again a few
seconds later. It may do this several times. In addition, the computer usually
locks up before/after graphical login requiring a hard shutdown, although it
doesn't always lock up. It seems to be preventing the computer from shutting
down normally as well.
This appears in dmesg output whenever a freeze occurs:
186.427140] [drm] enabling PCIE gen 2 link speeds, disable with
radeon.pcie_gen2=0

Adding radeon.runpm=0 to my boot cmdline solves the issues as a workaround.
With previous ubuntu/kernel versions, the main issue was the freezing which
would happen every seven seconds with the corresponding dmesg block. This would
continue ad infinitum, although on rare occasions it would stop after many
freezes. However with my current kernel this pattern doesn't seem to occur - it
freezes a few times before the freezing stops and the freezes do not occur at
regular intervals.
I'm not sure if this is a graphics or sound issue from the dmesg block. There's
also some ACPI errors in the dmesg log so maybe a firmware problem, or faulty
hardware? I tried some lower level debugging previously but couldn't conclude
anything.
Thanks for any assistance.</pre>
