[solved] Xorg crashing with Braswell N3050

I bought a Braswell N3050 mini-itx board a few months ago. Since I bought it, 75% of the time when I try to shutdown, restart, or log out of X it crashes with the attached error. It seems that Xorg refuses to die. I can still ssh into the machine but killing it manually does not work either. I'm using the intel graphics driver. I have not been able to figure out why it works properly the other 25% of the time. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is, or if not, where I should file a bug report?

Re: [solved] Xorg crashing with Braswell N3050

This is suspicious because request_firmware shouldn't be called here unless you are using the edid_firmware parameter to override EDID. I suppose you aren't?

Well, since it could be a CPU bug, start with updating microcode (see wiki) and BIOS

I'm not familiar with these specific errors, but you may want to try different acceleration settings.

Re: [solved] Xorg crashing with Braswell N3050

Good observation. Yes I am manually setting EDID as a kernel parameter. I'm using it as an HTPC and found that forcing the EDID and video mode as kernel parameters was the way to force HDMI output on; otherwise I'd be stuck with a black screen if I rebooted with the TV off (which I often do since I manage it via ssh). Anyways I've removed the EDID parameter and rebooted 3 times without a crash. Just need to find another way to force the HDMI output on if EDID proves to have been the problem.

Re: [solved] Xorg crashing with Braswell N3050

OK, so now this appears to be a kernel bug. You may want to report it to bugzilla.kernel.org - tell them that it crashes 75% times when Xorg is exited with edid_firmware in use and attach full dmesg extracted through ssh instead of this screenshot.

BTW, I found that there are 6 simple EDIDs built into the kernel

        "edid/800x600.bin",
        "edid/1024x768.bin",
        "edid/1280x1024.bin",
        "edid/1600x1200.bin",
        "edid/1680x1050.bin",
        "edid/1920x1080.bin",

which don't require calls to request_firmware. If any of them matches your monitor, it may have a chance of working even on broken kernels.

Re: [solved] Xorg crashing with Braswell N3050

Thanks for the help. Computer is running rock solid with the built in EDID so I will mark this solved.

I did want to do some more troubleshooting so I pulled the EDID from my desktop but I can't get it to trigger the bug either. So it seems there's something specific about my TV's EDID that causes it.
