I've the same Dell model and the same issue. I've also tried to boot all the 5.0.* kernel release without success. To install the last version 4 kernel before the version 5 kernel was released, run the following commands: wget https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/kernel/4.20.16/200.fc29/x86_64/kernel-modules-4.20.16-200.fc29.x86_64.rpm \ https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/kernel/4.20.16/200.fc29/x86_64/kernel-core-4.20.16-200.fc29.x86_64.rpm \ https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/kernel/4.20.16/200.fc29/x86_64/kernel-4.20.16-200.fc29.x86_64.rpm sudo dnf install kernel-4.20.16-200.fc29.x86_64.rpm \ kernel-core-4.20.16-200.fc29.x86_64.rpm \ kernel-modules-4.20.16-200.fc29.x86_64.rpm Also, you can keep older kernels around longer by editing /etc/dnf/dnf.conf and changing installonly_limit to the number of kernels you wish to be kept when dnf runs an update. If you can't boot a 5.0.* kernel, then increase it to a large enough value to keep the last 4.* kernel in your grub boot menu. If you put exclude=kernel in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf, then dnf will not update the kernel. Of course, once this bug is fixed, you will want to remove these changes to ensure that you upgrade to the latest kernel. This is a known issue with i915 display initialization that causes certain eDP panels to fail link training. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109959 documents the issue and root cause on the i915 side. The patch is in review on the Freedesktop patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/58893/ This bug looks like a duplicate of 1693365 and 1694786. I have a Dell XPS 9575 and can confirm that I'm also impacted by the same bug. Does anybody know if(kernel-5.0.7-300.fc30) resolves this issue? https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/search?terms=kernel-5.0.7-300.fc30&type=build&match=glob I checked out the chaneglog but I didn't see anything mentioned related to this issue. The new patch is still under review on the i915 side. Until it's merged to the i915 development repos, it won't be in a stable kernel release. https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/296273/ (In reply to Evan Anderson from comment #6) > The new patch is still under review on the i915 side. Until it's merged to > the i915 development repos, it won't be in a stable kernel release. > > https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/296273/ Actually, looks like https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/296408/ has been merged to i915 latest as https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel/commit/?h=for-linux-next-fixes&id=21635d7311734d2d1b177f8a95e2f9386174b76d and is included in kernel-5.0.7-300 on Fedora. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel/c/363f1a0d2f1057ac41ed8661f47218c2de0dda65?branch=f30 That's fantastic news! Without this patch it would be far more challenging to install the Fedora 30 release for many laptop owners (many Dell laptops at least), where the panels are failing training on boot. Hopefully kernel-5.0.7-300 (or something later) is included with the Fedora 30 release ISO! Fixed in Fedora kernel 5.0.7-200.fc29.x86_64. After upgrading to it, it booted on my Dell 9570 and I'm running it right now! Can we move this bug to fixed? *********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There are a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 29 kernel bugs. Fedora 29 has now been rebased to 5.2.9-100.fc29. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 30, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 30. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those. *********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** This bug is being closed with INSUFFICIENT_DATA as there has not been a response in 3 weeks. If you are still experiencing this issue, please reopen and attach the relevant data from the latest kernel you are running and any data that might have been requested previously. |
