Hi all,
Looks like we have a handful of bugs related to kernel 4.13 and i686:
Bug 1506892 (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1506892)
Apparently related to insert of a DVD or DVD-RW. The kernel panics due to a
NULL pointer. User has an ASUS P50IJ laptop, which is a core 2 duo, but
is using it with an i686 install.
Bug 1508757 (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1508757)
No details on activity leading up to this. Looks like it might be a tainted
kernel warning due to an unhandled paging request. My knowledge is very
limited in this area, so I'm guessing. :) Same user and hardware as the
previous one. Can't tell if the issues are related, however.
Bug 1438258 (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1438258)
Bug 1498725 (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1498725)
Bug 1506749 (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1506749)
Bug 1507055 (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1507055)
These all appear to be related. They all involve a corrupted screen in
graphical mode. Don't know if this is the loading screen or if it
makes it all the way to the display manager before getting corrupted.
Apparently there is a patch that resolves at least one of the issues:
git://github.com/vsyrjala/linux.git plane_sanitation_2_v4.13
but no idea what the status of the patch in Fedora is. It would be
helpful if we had a version of the kernel in a COPR for users to test.
Has anyone else had issues with DVDs under kernel 4.13? Or boot issues?
