Description Vasiliy Sharapov 2016-10-03 14:31:33 UTC
Filed from caserun (https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/run/289603/#caserun_13279403)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.3-20160914.1
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.17.2-22.el7.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.6.1-3.20160215gitd41fccc.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-506.el7.x86_64
linux-firmware-20160830-49.git7534e19.el7.noarch
package mesa is not installed
mesa-dri-drivers-11.2.2-2.20160614.el7.x86_64
package xorg-x11-glamor is not installed

Steps to Reproduce: 
 1. Make sure that your graphics driver supports KMS.
 2. Make sure you have rhgb quiet options in kernel commandline and no
    nomodeset option - this is the default in Client and Workstation variants


 1. Boot up



Actual results: 
No RHGB - high resolution gets set but text-mode progress bar is used

Expected results:
 1. Make sure the whole booting process is correct and smooth, without any
    graphic fragments nor unaligned text/logos. There should be circle progress
    bar in the middle of the display instead of the text-based progress bar.

<copied from #1381286 . Based on past experiences with this machine, it is best if I avoid looking at this until we've made 110% sure that it actually has updated firmware...>

The Precision 7710's firmware was basically made with the explicit purpose of annoying me I'm pretty sure... we had a lot of issues with this machine's firmware mapping the DMA address of multiple of it's devices incorrectly which caused all sorts of mayhem. Additionally, I remember that dell didn't bother to fix that firmware bug until a little while after the machine went into production. I'm not sure if they actually have fixed it yet, but I would think so.

Mind double checking that the firmware on this machine is up to date and that the firmware isn't causing the issue here? As well, can you get me the full dmesg of this machine?
