HI. Today I accessed http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D but the very top line at the top of the page was a link to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc2-wily/, which doesn't have kernel DEB packages (except for linux- headers-4.4.0-040400rc2_4.4.0-040400rc2.201511251301_all.deb, but this is only the kernel headers, I couldn't find any kernel image). Thus I proceeded to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel- next/ where the most recent folder with available DEB packages currently is http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel- next/2015-11-21-wily/
>From http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel- next/2015-11-21-wily/ I downloaded and installed the following packages: linux-image-4.3.0-997-generic_4.3.0-997.201511202100_amd64.deb linux-headers-4.3.0-997_4.3.0-997.201511202100_all.deb linux-headers-4.3.0-997-generic_4.3.0-997.201511202100_amd64.deb I was able to boot this kernel. Here's the result of some commands: 'uname -a': Linux yurix 4.3.0-997-generic #201511202100 SMP Sat Nov 21 02:02:46 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 'dmesg |grep -i i915': [ 1.175639] [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20151120 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0 [ 2.343450] i915 0000:00:02.0: fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device [ 13.974419] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:03.0: bound 0000:00:02.0 (ops i915_audio_component_bind_ops [i915]) (most recent event in dmesg was rcreated @ [ 1282.427420]) 'dmesg |grep -i amd': [ 0.000000] AMD AuthenticAMD [ 0.000000] RAMDISK: [mem 0x34978000-0x364b3fff] [ 1.143551] [drm] amdgpu kernel modesetting enabled.

[ 1.224944] amdgpu: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -2 I noticed that 'fglrx_updates.ko' (which seems to be the AMD GPU driver) probably is a proprietary driver and thus wasn't loaded by the kernel (I noticed some dkms error messages related to it, during kernel installation, probably because of restrictions at the driver's dkms.conf file), which caused kernel '4.3.0-997-generic' to try to load /lib/modules/4.3.0-997-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu.ko. Because 'amdgpu.ko' wasn't loaded either, I was unable to run the 'AMD Catalyst Control Center' (shell command: amdcccle). But the kernel did detect the AMD GPU: 'aticonfig --list-adapters': * 0. 04:00.0 AMD Radeon R7 M260 * - Default adapter (managed by /lib/modules/4.3.0-997-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko) 'lspci |grep -i amd': 04:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Topaz XT [Radeon R7 M260] 'i915.ko' was loaded and 'amdgpu.ko' depends on it. Here's the output for 'lsmod |grep -i i915': i915 --- 1204224 --- 5 i2c_algo_bit --- 16384 --- 2 --- i915,amdgpu drm_kms_helper --- 135168 --- 2 --- i915,amdgpu drm --- 356352 --- 8 --- ttm,i915,drm_kms_helper,amdgpu video --- 36864 --- 3 --- i915,dell_wmi,dell_laptop So, in a nutshell: looks like the kernel '4.3.0-997-generic' is doing ok with its module 'i915.ko'. I will keep testing it for a while just to make sure, but so far 'dmesg' hasn't shown me any message like '[drm:gen8_irq_handler [i915]] *ERROR* The master control interrupt lied (SDE)!' for kernel '4.3.0-997-generic'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1520040 Title: [drm:gen8_irq_handler [i915_bpo]] *ERROR* The master control interrupt lied (SDE)!
