Re: [PATCH] acpi: allow non-optimus setups to load vbios from acpi

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, same for me. The screen does not freeze anymore and the boot
succeeds. But now I have this kernel message during boot (for the second
card):

[   24.382045] pci_pm_runtime_suspend():
nouveau_pmops_runtime_suspend+0x0/0xe0 [nouveau] returns -22

Do you want to have the complete dmesg log? I think this is a new bug.
Your patch works for the previous one, so you can close it.

Yours,
Claas
