[SOLVED] System freeze after upgrade linux-3.12.9-2 to linux-3.13.4-1

I don't have the patience for a bisect, but I might add that I use i3-wm.

I had system freezes as soon I plugged my gamepad with the last kernel, removing "threadirqs" from the kernel boot line solved the issue for now.

I've experienced frequent system freezes too on 3.13.5-1.

I have tracked down the freezes to the USB subsystem (mouse, keyboard)

Removing "threadirqs" from kernel boot line solved the problem for me, too, for now.

@Drexya, our issues may be related to this thread on the kernel ML: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg102375.html

Well, waking up the computer and using the keyboard freeze the system even without the "threadirqs" boot line, and of course the Magic SysRq Keys have no effect.
Zero problem with the LTS Kernel, there's obviously a problem with the usb in the last revision.

Similar problem after update to 3.13.5-1-ARCH with dualhead and KDE start freeze. If I delete ~/.kde4/share/config/krandrrc then start is OK, but I have to setup dualhead again :-(
I have [AMD/ATI] Redwood XT [Radeon HD 5670/5690/5730]

The usb bugs seems to have been fixed in the 3.13.6 revision: http://lwn.net/Articles/589945/

schlumpfimsumpf · 2014-03-09 08:45:37

3.13.6 does not solve the problem

SirCmpwn · 2014-03-16 18:23:34

Still having trouble with this, has anyone learned anything new?

LookTJ · 2014-03-29 06:32:10

I have the issue.. nvidia card using nouveau driver, one monitor, amd cpu, linux-3.13.7-1...

and freezes when I leave the computer(I come back to move mouse to reactivate the monitor).. I've tried checking journalctl, nothing suspicous.. hmmm

edit: also, using kde.

Well. The New Kernel Update to 3.14-4 solved it for me.
In the end no idea what went wrong but I think it's fixed. Can anybody else confirm this?

schlumpfimsumpf · 2014-04-10 19:14:12

for me as well. Since i already teste the rc3 of 3.14 i mark the it as solved

Does not work for me with Linux 3.14!
I can only get X to start if I don't have my primary monitor plugged into the HDMI port on my Radeon HD 4670.

Works the secondary monitor on DVI to work if the HDMI is unpluged.
Fails when I plug in the HDMI after it has finished loading the desktop after DVI monitor only.
Fails when only using HDMI.

Old Linux 3.12 still working fine.

Someone else is having problems with it on OpenSUSE here.

I am having the same problem with linux 13.14-4

The machine would boot up as normal until the computer tried to switch the resolution on the monitor I think switching to the frame buffer.
Then the display would go into powersave mode.
Sometimes the my graphics card fans would sometimes spin up loudly sometimes not.

I was able to set up an ssh server and have a look at dmesg.
And saw many messages like the followiing

[drm:atom_op_jump] *ERROR* atombios stuck in loop for more than 5secs aborting

Having a look around this error has happend in the past and appears to happen in laptops with hybrid graphics cards when they are switching between the two.
I am not sure if it is exatcly the same issue everyone else is having.
It may be due to the kernal mode settings I do not know I am not enough of a developer to know.
I was also intrested to see that it was happening with the fglrx driver as well https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=179894.

I am using a desktop. with the xf86-video-ati driver
With the following card
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Juniper PRO [Radeon HD 5750] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
and x86_64

For the moment I have reverted to the 13.8 kernal.

Dual monitor configuration. Radeon video card (HD4890). x86_64 architecture, Interl i3 CPU

Freezes started after upgrading from kernel 12.9

I've been working with the lts kernel since then.
I test with every new kernel when I update the system and it always freezes and I always reboot back to lts.

With 3.14 the system freezes when I log in (that's the point when the primary monitor is activated -- I show the login screen only on one monitor - the other one is switched off).
The freeze does not happen when I log in through virtual console. There are no suspicious messages in the logs.

I'm part-way through running a git bisect on the kernel. When I'm done I'll let you know which commit I found to be the culprit.

Perry3D · 2014-04-24 12:07:30

The users with radeon cards: Try appending "radeon.dpm=0" to your kernel line.

3.13 enables power managment by default and maybe there are still a lot of problems to solve.

Thank you!
That worked for me. Thought I tried this before and then it didn't work, but maybe I'm wrong. Now works OK with 3.14.1-1 kernel and this option on the cmd line.

Disabling radeon.dpm does not work for me unfortunately with Linux 3.14. I also tried with Kubuntu 14.04 which has Linux 3.13 with radeon.dpm=0 and it also has a kernel panic.

I'll continue to run the bisect and post the results.

Edit:
What are your dual screen configurations? I have asymmetric monitors at 1920x1080+0+0,1680x1050+1920+30 so perhaps this could be the problem

I figured out my problem, it was HDMI audio. I added radeon.audio=0 to the kernel parameters and now works fine with 3.14.

The monitor that I use on the HDMI port is an Acer G226HQLBII. It has 2 HDMI inputs but does not have any audio functionality. It probably confused the driver and killed it so is definitely a bug. I'll try it with a monitor that does support HDMI audio and see if the problem persists.
