I think I hit the same / a similar bug on my Intel Haswell notebook (HP Probook 430 G1)

After upgrading to kernel 4.8.2-1, it only boots into a black screen (no cursor) instead of the sddm login screen.

Strange thing is: sddm seems to be running ok, and with a "systemctl restart sddm" on a virtual console the graphical login comes up with no issues. So it seems only the boot process is affected.

As a workaround I installed linux-lts which is working fine.

~~I have a couple of errors in ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log:~~

~~(Full Xorg.0.log here.)~~

EDIT: Deleted outdated logfile :-(

TIA,
Heinz

Correct /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
Unsuccessful start
Successful Start

EDIT: added dmesg log

Well I just got the same apparent sddm black screen. Systemctl status sddm showed the sddm-helper stopping with an error, but sddm itself okay, although plasma would not start, even trying autologin. However this was not from the kernel upgrade of Oct 19, but rather todays (Oct 21) upgrade of nvidia-304xx (304.131-17 -> 304.132-1), nvidia-304xx-utils (304.131-2 -> 304.132-1) and nvidia-304xx-libgl (304.131-2 -> 304.132-1). Reverting these fixed it. A similar setup on a laptop with the newer nvidia-340xx had no issues. Maybe this is related.

No Nvidia components here, pure Intel graphics.

I resolve this problem with the same solution, i downgrade linux 4.8 => 4.7. So i hope in the next upgrade on linux i don't have this problem!

@stanhope I think your issue may be different see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=218614
@step so you are not going to contribute to fixing the issue?

HarveyK · 2016-10-22 15:44:03

Today's update to kernel 4.8.3-1 did not help here.
EDIT: Nor does the update to 4.8.4-1.

Are those related?

I too have an issue with my Lenovo X220. I've seen error message about flip_done time out, however, downgrade didn't solve the issue for me.

Today's update to kernel 4.8.6-1 did not solve my issue.

However, switching to "Early Kernel Mode Setting" as described in the Arch wiki is working here, so I consider this topic as SOLVED.

I just had to add the Intel i915 module to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf:

MODULES="i915"

and rebuild the initramfs image with

mkinitcpio -p linux

Don't know though, if the OP suffers from exactly the same problem, so your mileage may vary.

Removing xf86-video-intel solved this for me right now.

What is the difference between using i915 and xf86-video-intel, one is better than the other? What changes?

One is a kernel module and the other an X11 driver ... Arch btw. has an exhaustive wiki and you can always ask the oracle of Mountainview.
