A later version fixed these issues in rawhide, as far as I can tell. The lockups can take a while, and I don't use rawhide for long periods of time, so it could still be locking up there, just hasn't occurred while I've been using it. I'll try letting rawhide sit idle over night. I tried locally compiling rc4.git4.1, and it still has the same problems in F25. I've disabled the slab hardening in case that was the cause. Booting to multiuser is gray on white text in the console; the workaround of resetting it by starting X still works. The system locks. It took a while, but the system was just sitting idle as I did something else, I came back and it was locked. Nothing unusual in the logs. So, I'm guessing there is a bug hidden somewhere in the kernel itself. This doesn't happen with 4.13, so it's a change that was made for 4.14. Since it has been doing this with 4.14 from the get-go, it must be an early change. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
