Blank screen after upgrade | Intel CPU

Hi!

I just updated Arch my Samsung Ativ 4 machine which installed, among other things, linux-3.17.1. When I rebooted and selected Arch menu entry, I see nothing on the screen.

I have also manually enabled intel microcode updates as described in the wiki.

On the other partition, I have Windows 10 dev preview which boots fine with or without adding

initrd	/intel-ucode.img /initramfs-linux.img

It used to boot just fine before the update as well.

What should I do to boot normally?

Here is my dmesg.

Re: Blank screen after upgrade | Intel CPU

1. In /boot/grub/gub.cfg, there are several lines containing "initrd ...." Are you sure you found the right one / all relevant? For example, if you edit the submenu entry but boot the regular entry, intel-ucode.img won't be used.

2. Or maybe: For me with a standard installation without separate boot partition, the line

	initrd	/boot/intel-ucode.img /boot/initramfs-linux.img

contains the right paths instead of the ones without "/boot". (But I don't think that's the problem in your case reading your dmesg)

Thanks for your reply!

1. Yes, I have added /intel-ucode.img to all the entries and subentries.
2. Yes, you're right here. I have a separate /boot partition so I have used /intel-ucode.img instead of /boot/intel-ucode.img

I just installed linux-lts by chrooting and it boots fine but linux-3.17.1 doesn't.

Re: Blank screen after upgrade | Intel CPU

Are there any boot errors or errors in any of the logs? journalctl, xorg log, ...

journalctl shows nothing important. Here is my Xorg.0.log:

Re: Blank screen after upgrade | Intel CPU

Is the screen really blank or is there a curser on the top left?

Thanks for your reply.
The screen is completely blank. I cannot even see boot messages or anything else once I select Arch from grub.

Re: Blank screen after upgrade | Intel CPU

I was only a try, It does look different than a problem I get randomly.
Does the computer react on the power button (shutting down linux) or cltr-alt-del result in a reboot?
Sorry, my guesses will not be  very helpfull at all.

Re: Blank screen after upgrade | Intel CPU

Haha! Don't be sorry. I would appreaciate any help.Trial and error is the best way to tackle the situation when we don't understand the system completely. smile

Coming back to the problem, No, the computer doesn't react to the power button or Ctrl+Alt+Delete. sad
