Comment 65 for bug 1724639

Hi,

Tested two kernels this evening. Here are the summarised details...

Testing 21st November 2017

*Installs as kernel 4.12.0*
total 58M
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 936K Nov 21 20:08
linux-firmware-image-4.12.0_4.12.0-6_i386.deb
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 11M Nov 21 20:09
linux-headers-4.12.0_4.12.0-6_i386.deb
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 46M Nov 21 20:09 linux-image-4.12.0_4.12.0-6_i386.deb
This kernel has the graphics problem.

*Installs as kernel 4.12.0-rc3*
total 57M
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 936K Nov 21 20:10
linux-firmware-image-4.12.0-rc3_4.12.0-rc3-7_i386.deb
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 11M Nov 21 20:10
linux-headers-4.12.0-rc3_4.12.0-rc3-7_i386.deb
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 46M Nov 21 20:11
linux-image-4.12.0-rc3_4.12.0-rc3-7_i386.deb
This kernel hangs after displaying these two lines:-
Loading Linux 4.12-rc3 ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...

The (recovery mode) of the above kernel hangs as well
It displays these lines OK
Loading Linux 4.12-rc3 ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
And then the kernel hangs, as before.

HTH,

Ian
