With all four modules suppressed, did you reconfigure X so it would still come up (I'm pretty certain it doesn't come up without reconfiguration)?
Not surprisingly X does not start. Sax2 fails with 'module not found': FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.25.4-2-xen/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i915.ko': No such file or directory [drm] failed to load kernel module "i915"
Did you try suppressing just drm and i915?
No.
The boot.omsg and messages fragment we need to see should be from a boot with all modules enabled, and with DRM debugging enabled prior to initiating shutdown (as described).
OK: I booted with all four modules in their usual place, echoed 1 to the drm bug parameter and initiated a shut down. Output of /var/log/messages and /var/log/boot.omsg is in the two attachments.
I take your comment about SLED to say that there you don't have the problem reported here? As cross reference knowledge, would you check whether the drm/i915 pair is in use there?
Yes, they are in use and seem to work just fine:
ssh test uname -a Linux tfkp10 2.6.16.60-0.23-xen #1 SMP Thu May 15 06:38:31 UTC 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ssh test lsmod | grep i915 i915 28672 1 drm 91944 2 i915 The new kernel for SP2 is seemingly heavily patched backwards. A few month ago I tried to install SP1 in this hardware and gave up very quickly.
As you give a Novell email adress: if this PC is of high priority for you it might be more efficient to ask FSC for a sample than me trying to follow your instructions. They are interested to get the thing certified for Linux anyway.
