            Bug ID: 61671
           Summary: i915 silently fails to load on generation >= 6 gpus
                    with nomodeset
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.10.12
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Video(DRI - Intel)
          Assignee: intel-gfx-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: sylviabz1 at cryogenic.net
                CC: intel-gfx-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        Regression: No

It appears that i915 cannot function without modeset on generation >= 6 gpus,
and in that situation the i915_driver_load function returns -ENODEV. If
"nomodeset" makes no sense for those gpus, then maybe it should be ignored, but
at least an error message would be helpful.
