            Bug ID: 92972
           Summary: Black screen on Intel NUC hardware (i915) possible
                    kernel regression
           Product: DRI
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

Several users on the 01.org linuxgraphics forum have reported a black
screen when booting Inte NUCs, with various approaches solving the
problem, including:

 - switching to a DVI-DBI cable from some other type
 - changing the connected monitor
 - downgrading from a 4.x kernel to a late 3.x series kernel

Since it's not clear if these are all the same bug these reports
are being collected here at Intel's request so they can be investigated.

The main discussion thread:

https://01.org/linuxgraphics/forum/graphics-installer-discussions/nuc5i3ryh-black-screen-debian

Some solutions from that thread:


    Using a Dell monitor connected via a VGA cable 
    to a miniDisplayPort to VGA adapter. After 
    Switching to a Samsung monitor hooked up via DVI and a miniDisplayPort
    to DVI adapter, all my problems went away

    Fresh install and  dnf update which installed 4.1.7-200.fc22.x86_64
    reproduced the problem. 
    With this as the machine's current state 4.0.4-301.fc22.x86_64
    works fine.

    I went through the
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics
    and couldnt get it working on debian testing. 
    NB: Probably kernel 4.1 at the time.
    ... well I though of trying stable kernel... added all apt source 
    entries of stable repos and added 3.16 kernel... AND IT WORKS.
