 Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2018 12:40 pm Post subject: kernel 4.16 questions |
 |
|
running 4.16.1 on thinkpad x1 carbon (4th gen) and I
notice
1. intel microcode does not load - are the fixes in the new kernel ??
2. i915: unknown parameter 'enable_guc_loading' ignored -- why the change?
3. i915: unknown parameter 'enable_guc_submission' ignored -- why the change?
any insight appreciated ...

always possible - but everything works fine; just a "make silentoldconfig"
from the 4.15 kernel config. No i915 or firmware changes came up that
I saw...

See Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst for valid make targets. I would certainly not do silentoldconfig, BTW, this target is done by make automatically.
In your first post you tell firmwares do not load and now you say everything works fine?

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. 
I still need that. 4.14 totally trashed my new laptop. Turning off rc6 was the only way I could keep xorg from flickering like mad.

perhaps gentoo should issue a patchset to turn RC6 control back on in the gentoo kernel?

Just for that one user?
You can try, but don't blame them for not wanting.
You could easily roll your own patches, as that link has it. |
