Description Robert Smol 2016-02-19 06:52:32 UTC
Description of problem:

Fedora 23 won't boot on new Skylake processors. I've tested with install DVD and also with upgraded kernel. The machine hang's during boot on intel_pstate driver. The only way to get around is to turn off with intel_pstate=no_hwp,but this turns off power saving.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[rsmol@yoga-laptop ~]$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

Skylake support is incomplete in the 4.3.y kernel.  You might have better luck with the 4.4.y kernel, which F23 is being rebased to this week.

Comment 2 Robert Smol 2016-02-21 16:21:33 UTC
Hi, I've tested against kernel-4.5.0-0.rc4.git2.2.fc24.x86_64 it is the same issue, can I somehow test something or help?

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/rawhide-kernel-nodebug/fedora-rawhide-kernel-nodebug.repo

the last message on screen is: intel pstate hwp

Comment 3 Robert Smol 2016-03-15 12:55:16 UTC
Hi,currently on 4.5.0-1.fc25.x86_64, the issue is still here. Does it mean Skylake will not be supported in F24? The last message I see intel_pstate: HWP enabled and then nothing I have to press power button for 4 seconds.

Comment 4 Robert Smol 2016-04-13 19:52:21 UTC
Hello, today on 4.4.6-301.fc23.x86_64, still same issue. Is there any test I can provide to help this to get fixed? I've also tested F24 alpha, it had same issue ;(

 Please consider to include that patch in the kernel and close this bug. Thank you
