I have been getting consistent results from my Lenovo Z580 where an error will apear when upgrading to a newer version of linux past 3.15.8. More specifically a "[drm:cpt_serr_int_handler] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun". This also includes transcoder B.
I found the bug report https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40952?p … sort2=desc which near to the bottom of the page someone has stated building the kernel from git fixes the issue. There was aslo some reports on updating the bios to solve the issue but on the bios I have is current based on the lenovo support site http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/product … s/DS100928.

Aug 15 11:11:23 jdlptp kernel: [drm:cpt_serr_int_handler] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrunI've tested all the kernels > 3.15.8 but they seem to create the error above. My questions are
Was there a change in the linux kernel options from 3.15.8?
Am I using / missing a module that I shouldn't / should be using for my cpu?

I also forgot to mention that the updates prevent me from using my SD Card slot which i use for projects on my android. Aslo all packeges except the kernel are up to date.

Hi acothi,
I was getting the same error message for months. Linux kernel 3.16.3-1 finally fixed it for me. My system: Intel Ivy-Bridge i5-3570K CPU + Intel DH77DF Mobo with latest BIOS (dated 2013). Please update to latest kernel in [Core] and report back. However, I don't think that your SD card slot issues are directly related to this error message. I also recommend installing linux-lts kernel and adding a bootloader entry, so you can still be productive, even if the latest Linux kernel doesn't fix it for you.
Afaik, this error has nothing to do with kernel options, but was introduced by a usual kernel commit (and seems to be fixed upstream).
Cheers,
Tolga

Hmm, this appears to be specific to Lenovo laptops? Core i5 3210M here, Acer laptop. No FIFO underruns on 3.16.3.

OK so I have the latest update on my bios for my mobo and the problem still persists. this flaw is only affecting boot time which i don't reboot unless i have a kernel update. I'm also not having problems with my SD Card Reader on 3.17. As much of an irritation it is and potential problem it may be I'm just considering of getting a new computer soon. This laptop is nearly 3 years old and if its a case to do with the mobo at that point I'd rather just get a new laptop once this one craps out. (most likely years on afterward.) I appreciate the help how ever.

As far as I know is that it varies person to person. I think it could be a bad batch of cpu's but you know conspiracy bacon.

I've done a spring cleanup on my server. Maybe, this problem is related to some odd config files. Please try downloading Arch Linux Live Media and boot from it: https://www.archlinux.org/download/. It is using kernel 3.16.3. Then, type the following and post your result
dmesg | grep -i pchAlso, are you using UEFI boot (CSM disabled / enabled?) or normal boot?
Cheers,
Tolga
