Re: Tracking down severe regression in 5.3-rc4/5.4 for TU116 - assistance needed

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

 



The obvious candidate based on a quick scan is
0acf5676dc0ffe0683543a20d5ecbd112af5b8ee -- it merges a fix that
messes with PCI stuff, and there lie dragons. You could try building
that commit, and if things still work, then I have no idea (and you've
narrowed the range). Also I'd recommend ensuring that the good kernel
is really good and the bad kernel is really bad -- boot them a few
times.

Cheers,
