Summary: VT switch causes system to lockup
Product: Drivers
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.30-gentoo-r1
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Priority: P1
Component: Console/Framebuffers
AssignedTo: jsimmons at infradead.org
ReportedBy: liquid.acid at gmx.net
Regression: Yes
Hi there,
I just updated my amd64 system from a 2.6.27 kernel to a fresh 2.6.30-gentoo-r1
one. The system boots fine, but as soon as I switch to another VT the whole
system lockups.
The screen just freezes, still showing the old content of VT1. ACPI buttons
don't work, and ctrl-alt-del doesn't cause a restart. I haven't tried remote
ssh login yet, nor magic SysRq (going to do this next).
To emphasize this: Just doing work on the first console is perfectly fine - the
system is rockstable this way. So it's not some instability that is triggered
by the VT switch.
Anyway, I'm using uvesafb here (gfx card is a integrated Radeon HD 3200).
More informations to follow.
Greets,
Tobias
