Hi Ace,

Could you please attach a full dmesg (full logs not just filtered for radeon or drm) output from the failed and working cases to the bug report?

Could you also please test the stable kernel 4.20.16 with your graphics cards?

Thanks,
Christian

Tested kernel 4.20-16 boots to Firepro.
Kernel 5.1 boots to SI card and works fine

Have uploaded dmeg logs for these and kernel 5-No-DRM that you did for me (the one I normally use), hope this helps.

Hi Ace,

Thanks a lot for testing the stable kernel 4.20.16 and for testing the RC2 of kernel 5.1! :-) Many thanks for adding the dmesg logs to the bug report! :-)

Have a nice weekend!

Hi All,

Here is the RC3 of kernel 5.1 for testing.

New:
It also includes:
  • X1000: compressed kernel (zImage) and uncompressed kernel (vmlinux)
Issues:

I figured out, that the VLC player doesn't play videos anymore since the RC2 of kernel 5.1. VLC plays videos with the RC1 of kernel 5.1 without any problems. The issue is between the RC1 and the RC2.

I tested the VLC 3.0.4 on Fienix and VLC 2.2.2 on ubuntu MATE 16.04.6 LTS.

Please test the VLC and ViewTube with the RC3 of kernel 5.1.

Hi All,

VLC error messages with the RC3:

Code: Select all

[100ea580] ts demux warning: first packet for pid=1104 cc=0xe
[100ea580] ts demux warning: first packet for pid=1102 cc=0x4
[100ea580] ts demux warning: first packet for pid=1101 cc=0x8
[10109218] core decoder warning: can't get output picture
[10109218] avcodec decoder warning: disabling direct rendering
[10109218] core decoder warning: can't get output picture
I created a bug report because of the VLC issue with the kernel 5.1-rc2 and higher today.

Link to the bug report: Bug 110304 - VLC doesn't play videos anymore since the RC2 of kernel 5.1 -- bugs.freedesktop.org

It's quite likely that this is a PPC specific issue. Your best bet is bisecting between rc1 and rc2.

I haven't seen any other similar reports.
I was able to remove the PowerPC fixes 5.1-4 and 5.1-3 with the following commands:

Code: Select all

git revert 6536c5f2c8cf79db0d37e79afcdb227dc854509c -m 1
Output:
[master 4b4a8cf] Revert "Merge tag 'powerpc-5.1-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux"

Code: Select all

git revert a5ed1e96cafde5ba48638f486bfca0685dc6ddc9 -m 1
[master 0c70b7b] Revert "Merge tag 'powerpc-5.1-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux"
The removing of the PowerPC fixes 5.1-4 and 5.1-3 has solved the VLC issue.

The problematic code is definitely in the PowerPC fixes 5.1-3.

I created a new kernel package without the PowerPC fixes for testing.

Download: linux-image-5.1-rc3-2-X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Please test the RC3 and the RC3-2 with the VLC.

I posted my results to the Linuxppc-dev mailing list today. Link: VLC doesn't play videos anymore since the PowerPC fixes 5.1-3

Thanks,
Christian
