system logs

Description of problem:
Kernel regression: the system uses VESA due the following error in  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
 (EE) [drm] KMS not enabled 

with older kernel 3.11.10-301 the bug did not happen.
I also tried booting the system with option "nouveau.config=VBIOS=PRAMIN" but it did not solve the problem.

===Kernel Version===
kernel-3.16.2-200.fc20.x86_64

Can you attach a dmesg when booting with

nouveau.config=VBIOS=PRAMIN

No need to compress it (that just makes it harder to see in a browser, these files are never big enough for it to matter).

Oh right.

nouveau.config=NvBios=PRAMIN

See http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModuleParameters/

(Also, just dmesg is relevant... nouveau drm isn't loading so X never has a chance.)

I will do the test in next message. Are there any other tests I can execute? I am asking that because the machine is not mine so everytime I have to meet the owner to retrieve logs.

Comment 6 Germano Massullo 2018-06-30 09:15:15 UTC

I have no longer access to the affected machine, nor I had any feedback from component developers.
I close the bugreport as wontfix
