Created attachment 128323 [details] logged using netconsole - 4.8.7 - NULL pointer Dear developers, I'm unable to boot into functional system with KMS radeon. When radeon.modeset=0 on kernel command-line system it starts and run OK. Without disabled modeset the kernel 4.7, 4.8, 4.9-rc7 with 90% probability locks or crash. I'm running Debian unstable and tried Debian kernels 4.7, 4.8 from Debian and compile 4.9rc7 vanilla kernel. Attached logs through netconsole. Any idea what I can test? Thanks -- Zito ref: debian bug #845382 - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=845382

today I inserted into MB Asus M2A-VM HDMI PCI-E card HD7770. With HD7770 the modeset works OK without any crash/lockup. Xserver started OK too. Loaded was radeon driver. The bug in radeon driver is in a part specific to RS690 chip so.
Has KMS ever worked on that card for you? If yes, can you test older kernels?
Setting radeon.modeset=0 is not longer supported since the removal of UMS support, so setting this options just blacklists the driver completely. That looks like a bug in the HDMI audio handling code, we had similar issues on other hardware generations as well. Maybe the handling routine for RS690 is still not in the correct order. Anyway please try radeon.audio=0 as well.
Bing - HDMI audio is probably a source of problem. I tried to add radeon.audio=0. I tested this before already, but I tried this time again with 4.9-rc7. No bug in console appeared, but kernel lock down (<Alt>-<SysRq>-B don't worked). I tried I think 3-times - no OOPS on console, only hang. Then I get idea to look into BIOS if HDMI audio is enabled there and really, HDMI was disabled completely. I enable HDMI in the BIOS and disable HDMI audio only and system started normaly. I tried combinations: BIOS BIOS radeon.audio=0 HDMI HDMI audio ---------------------------------------------------------------- 0 - no OOPS 0 - yes OOPS yes yes no OOPS yes yes yes OOPS yes no no OK So to avoid problems with the radeon driver the HDMI audio must be disabled in BIOS and it is possible only if the HDMI connector is enabled, because otherwise the option (HDMI audio) is greyed. I can't remember if I had this setting in the past, maybe yes. Disabled HDMI may be the result of BIOS "Load system default", because other flaws on this mobo with networking some time ago (.
