--- Comment #9 from Egbert Eich
What I meant is I don't know how to boot the system in non graphical mode.
Ok, understood. There are two ways to do this: 1. If you want it mermanent, ie until you change it again: a. log in as root. b. run: # systemctl set-default multi-user.target or to set it back to graphical: # systemctl set-default graphical.target 1. To do it temporarily: a In grub, press 'e' to get to the editable menu screen b. Add a '3' somewhere to the kernel command line.
I found this tutorial online related to git-bisect https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel_git-bisect do you have a better resource?
Partly.
1. You can do this from any directory on a file system with a lot of space.
If there is a lot of space left in the fs with your home directory for
example, do something like:
$ mkdir $HOME/kernel-source
$ cd kernel-source
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
(don't use kernel-stable.git)
$ cd linux
2. I would recommend to build a 'vanilla' 4.5 kernel first to see if this also
exhibits the problem:
in the directory 'linux' do:
$ git checkout v4.5
v4.5 is a version tag. To list all available version tags, do 'git tag'
3. If the v4.5 kernel also has the problem, you should do the same for the 4.4
kernel to see if this one works 'better':
$ git checkout v4.4
4. After these steps, (ie if you veriried that v4.4 is ok while v4.5 is broken)
you can start bisecting.
I the tree, do
$ git bisect start
$ git bisect good v4.4
$ git bisect bad v4.5
Build the kernel.
Building:
0. If you don't have a .config from a previous build, create a .config file:
$ zcat /proc/config.gz .config
1. To build the kernel & modules, do
$ make olddefconfig
$ make bzImage modules modules_install
