DRM problem after recent upgrade

Just recently upgraded my system with pacman -Syu, now my system does not boot and halt with an error message as

[drm: intel_dp_aux_wait_done] *ERROR* dp aux hw did not signal timeout (ha irq.0)!

UPDATE: I installed linux-lts, which is kernel 3.0. The error disappears but the system halt when reaching the desktop environment. I have only the desktop background with no icon or menu. Just mouse moves, and no action from keyboard.

Re: DRM problem after recent upgrade

I had a kernel panic recently during boot, due to DRM as well as far as I could tell. It didn't repeat so far after a couple of reboots, so I will keep an eye and see if it repeats.

I did many reboots, and even upgraded the system via arch-chroot (booted by USB), but the problem is permanent.

What kernel are you using and what alternative kernels have you tried?

Re: DRM problem after recent upgrade

Are you using DisplayPort?

My kernel is 3.7.10-1-ARCH, and I did not tried other kernel. Now I am installing linux-lts to check it.

No, I am using a labtop with its own display, no external port.

Re: DRM problem after recent upgrade

That's probably good. I only asked because when I googled part of your error, I got a ton of bugs concerning DisplayPort and that sounded pretty grim. So I'm glad that's not it .

Re: DRM problem after recent upgrade

Is there a reason why you're using a relatively old kernel? I assume you'd ignored it when updating, unless you're using a fork of Arch.

sorry, my bad! my kernel is up-to-date, 3.9.9-1. `uname -r` command showed a wrong version.

Re: DRM problem after recent upgrade

Wait.  Stop.

What is the output of uname -r
and what is the output of pacman -Qi linux
If the revisions don't match, that is the root of your problem.

No, that is not the source of problem. It was my mistake. `uname -r` in arch-chroot shows the version of host machine's kernel. Thus, I got the correct kernel by pacman -Qi linux.
