**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Feb 13 03:00:02 2018 Feb 13 07:45:33 ant_work: yes, 4.16-rc1 behaves same as -next did a few days ago. Vanilla build (just a patch to detect my CF card), GCC 7.2, results in black/blank screen on boot (same with GCC 6.x) Feb 13 07:51:03 it seems the kernel boots (according to the disk LED) but there is no output. Also I can not logon (blind) the USB port also is not activated. I may panic during boot, but I have not JTAG cable to see serial output. Feb 13 07:53:01 the same kernel boots on qemu fine Feb 13 07:53:04 "fine" Feb 13 07:53:12 but does give some output Feb 13 07:54:14 but the output from qemu is nothing relevant. The issue is "real" hardware related and was introduced with 4.15 Feb 13 07:55:43 as you mentioned, 4.14.18 works fine with the SPI patch. (PCMCIA issue and GPIO keyboard issue still present) Feb 13 07:56:43 otherwise 4.14.18 is pretty good Feb 13 07:57:49 the white blank on boot (SPI issue) is fixed, but still the first blank (setterm -blank 1) for example, is still grey (used to be white). any following blanks are proper blanks (eg screen off) Feb 13 07:59:29 let me know if you have any hints where to look for the GPIO keboard issue that was introduced with 4.9, very odd some shift/fn combos do not work anymore Feb 13 08:00:33 or you have to use right shift instead of left shift. but FN+UP does not work anymore (PageUP) but FN+DOWN (PageDown) still works. The keymap is still the borzoi/spitz default one. Feb 13 10:59:10 looking forward to see a kexec with the SPI fix, so that I don't have to use the frankenstein version and the separate boot partition anymore :) Feb 13 11:28:24 VartiWork : The issue with C1000 is not related to SPI afaik.. Feb 13 11:30:02 anyway, the frankenstein kernel and a seperate /boot partition do not hurt that much ..!? Feb 13 11:30:20 * greguu is gone Feb 13 11:42:28 I have remembered wrong then I guess Feb 13 11:42:39 no, it's not that much important, just a minor annoyance **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Feb 14 03:00:01 2018
