Well, this is awkward. I tried installing drm-tip with defaultconf. But it's been a long time since I've compiled a kernel. Anyway, I failed, bricked my root partition, and ended up having to reinstall. A fresh install of Antergos with kernel 4.16.13-2-ARCH is working fine without any flicker. Sigh Unneccessary embarrassing info: (What I'd done was, I had a way too small /boot partition, 64mb. When I was trying to boot into the drm-tip I forgot that I'd need a driver module to access my ssd. So I didn't have a initramfs and no way to fit it, also I wasn't sure if using the other initramfs would work as I didn't know where the actual i915 driver was. Frustrated, I decided to resize my root so I could fit a bigger boot. Misjudged some calculations and ended up with a filesystem that thought it was slightly bigger than its partition, I couldn't get out of a fsck/resize2fs catch 22, so I just said f-it and reinstalled, since I have all my data on a separate /home partition.)</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
