We have daily snapshots here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-12.3/standard/x86... Also, can you try the latest upstream snapshot from here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard/x86_64/ Also, how exactly do you trigger the issue?

It is super rare that gdm comes up. In at least 9 out of 10 case I end up with the lock-up shown in #1. When I ssh into the machine and kill X, it restarts and uses the galium emulation. But this is too slow for real usage. Kernel is 3.7.10-1.16. I am checking for updates everyday. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Reading installed packages... Information for package kernel-desktop: --------------------------------------- Repository: openSUSE-12.3 Updates Name: kernel-desktop Version: 3.7.10-1.16.1 Arch: i686 Vendor: openSUSE Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date Installed Size: 116.8 MiB Summary: Kernel optimized for the desktop Description: This kernel is optimized for the desktop. It is configured for lower latency and has many of the features that aren't usually used on desktop machines disabled. This kernel supports up to 64GB of main memory. It requires Physical Addressing Extensions (PAE), which were introduced with the Pentium Pro processor. PAE is not only more physical address space but also important for the "no execute" feature which disables execution of code that is marked as non-executable. Therefore, the PAE kernel should be used on any systems that support it, regardless of the amount of main memory.

Can you update your kernel-firmware package and try booting then. If it doesn't work, you could fetch the repo here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/ and copy the radeon/ directory to /lib/firmware/ to try the latest radeon blobs.

But trying the latest firmware from the git repo I gave you might still be worth a try. Simply rename the old /lib/firmware/radeon/ and copy the new one from the repo. Btw, I see i686 around the comments here. Is that true? Are you really running a 32-bit kernel? Why? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Just because 64-bit is much more and widely tested than 32-bit so I wouldn't wonder if it doesn't happen with a 64-bit build of radeon. On the 64-bit installation you can then try the latest kernel along with the latest microcode to see whether that makes any difference. Just be careful not to destroy your current 32-bit installation and, just to be on the safe side, you should back up all your data before continuing with this experiment! You've been warned! :-) HTH. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Let's watch it a couple more days to make sure it doesn't happen.
