Description Christian Neufselle 2015-06-03 18:45:31 CEST
Description of problem:
after the choice "mageia" in the grub2 menu, boot stops after around 9 seconds.
After the choice "mode de dépannage", boot stops after :
"acpi warning system IO range range 0x0... conflicts with OpRegion 0x0...
ACPI : if an acpi driver is avaible for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver "
I tried to edit "mageia avec linux desktop" (options avancées) with options: acpi=off and runlevel 3. I can log in "localhost login" (command line), but  the command "startx" returns :
/home/[user]/.serverauth.xxxx does not exist
modprobe: error could not insert 'i915'no such device
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to x server : connection refused
xinnit : server error

I tried to change the driver "intel 810 or later" by vesa, or intel xorg, but it's a failure

hardware: asus X553M ; pentium N3540 ; platform Intel BayTrail ; intel HD graphics

Humm, xorg.0.log shows:
[  1636.130] intel: waited 2020 ms for i915.ko driver to load

Are you sure you run the journalctl command _after_ a X11 failure?

Comment 10 Christian Neufselle 2015-06-05 17:39:13 CEST
I boot with : edit "mageia avec linux desktop" (options avancées) options: acpi=off and runlevel 3. I run startx (returns failure).
I run journalctl, and I copy the file syslog.txt in /home/user. I reboot with a live usb (mint, because mageia don't work with usb) and I recover the file for attachment (with other pc, no other OS on the laptop).
I try again

Comment 14 Thomas Backlund 2015-06-05 18:36:22 CEST
Why are you running with "acpi=off" ?

It most definately gets the i915 module loading in trouble, and probably creates other hw issues...
Comment 15 Christian Neufselle 2015-06-08 18:43:10 CEST
to Thomas:
because it don't start with acpi on (see description)

yeah, remove the "NEEDINFO" since all information that was asked for was given :-)
