I bisected to this commit: 572994bf18ff ("drm/ast: Zero is missing in detect function")You don't have a monitor connected, I guess?Correct, my lab systems use IPMI and a browser-attached console.In that case, we now trigger the helpers that poll for connected monitors. However, the overhead seems rather extreme. I'll have to try to reproduce this, or otherwise we can revert the commit.It's strange, only that system in my lab seems to have a problem. The others work fine. Thanks for having a look!Is it a HW or FW problem? Maybe a different revision?It's possible. I don't know how to further diagnose the issue, though. Any guidance appreciated!
v5.15-rc3 works well on my test machine. For getting the firmware revisions, run sudo dmidecodeon the machine. It will print a long list of devices with related information. Running
sudo lspci -vwill give information about the PCI devices. There's an entry for the VGA device somewhere. Maybe you can find some difference between the different systems
If you think the machine got stuck, try to plug-in the VGA cable during the boot and see if it makes the machine come up.
Best regards Thomas
I'm asking because the problematic commit does the correct thing. If there is no VGA cable connected, the driver should poll until it detects one. The overhead should be minimal. But I'll try to reproduce anyway.
