Description of problem: After moving to Fedora 19 from Fedora 18 my machine was permanently affected by kernel crashes and locks. After investigation it is clean that the cause is in video driver. Workaround is to set "nomodeset" kernel boot parameter. On kernel 3.10.7 I was trying to catch traceback on kernel crash via watchdog or SysRq nothing did help. Looks like hard lock. I'm ready to investigate this problem further until successful resolution. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 3.10.7-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 15 23:19:45 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) How reproducible: Install Fedora 19, upgrade. Reboot. Wait a few minutes.
Hi, Can you give us more information? You can get a trace if there is a hard lock by following instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_kernel_problems#Diagnosing_.22My_machine_locked_up.22 Also more information about your hardware will help us. lspci -v; lsusb; lsmod ?
Will do it in a couple of days. I can say now that on the same hardware running on $ uname -a Linux smatveenko-linux 3.11.3-301.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Oct 3 00:57:21 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux without mode set almost every application accessing video driver will crash in a minute or so. Setting nomodeset helps to be able to use entire system as usual.
On "3.11.6-301.fc20.x86_64" there is no issue when running without "nomodeset" kernel option on the same hardware. I think i will not be able to reproduce this one. Sorry for inconvenience.
OK, thank you for letting us know.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life.
