To Fred, Looking at you Xlog I seen the same problem as in mine
[ 36.472] (II) modeset(0): Output VGA-1 has no monitor section [ 46.854] (II) modeset(0): Output SVIDEO-1 has no monitor section Almost 10 seconds gone there and: [ 46.876] (II) modeset(0): EDID for output VGA-1 [ 57.393] (II) modeset(0): EDID for output SVIDEO-1 another 11 there. Lastly: [ 126.003] (II) modeset(0): Modeline "1280x1024"x0.0 108.00 1280 1328 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync (64.0 kHz e) Over two minutes hammering away on your video card. All the time is eaten up modesetting and polling outputs, when the DRM module was supposed to have done that. I took up the suggestion somebody mentioned of using the Ubuntu test kernels and I got up to 4.5.6 with boots looking good. I also started to learn git and downloaded the test kernel repository. I see that there is a lot going on with drm/i915 drivers, in an attempt to move higher level functions away from Xorg ,and a lot of commits (changes) devoted to the same area and problems (fix one thing,break two more). Maybe a one size fits all driver (9 generations), is too much. Your first time stamp is 36.282 which is when the system is booted and going into user-mode. Mine is similar using 4.5.6. You can use 'systemd- analyze' to see your boot times. The call traces in your kernel log don't seem to eat much time at all, but obviously something is afoot. BTW I tried the 4.9.0-rc1 kernel and the thing stop at the initramfs shell, with alot of "error -22" messages. I think maybe they're heading in the wrong direction. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1631719 Title: Intel GMA965 DRM hanging on yakkety Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Upgrades to Yakkety in feature freeze with kernel 4.8.0-21-generic. System regularly hangs for 10 second intervals which is very noticeable in boot process. Cause seems to be the Intel GMA965 DRM support causing regular kernel warnings: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1183 at /build/linux-JqzU2_/linux-4.8.0/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_irq.c:1224 drm_wait_one_vblank+0x1b6/0x1c0 [drm] The problem seems to start very early in the boot process, possible already in GRUB, definitely when the kernel image is first started. Workaround: Boot into Ubuntu recovery mode and then resume into graphical system. In this case the problem does not occur.
