Maybe the above patch will cure the symptoms but i will not heal the cause. But the driver for the intel VGA must not assume the current state of the device. It is necessary to setup the whole VGA device during the probe phase. Otherwise when kexec a kernel there are tons of log entries or in many cases a garbaged screen output and the whole kernels will hang. - Stefani -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
