Anytime I load a video file or use the GPU in any way i get tons of the following message in dmesg. [ 161.372074] [drm:ring_stuck] *ERROR* Kicking stuck wait on render ring [ 165.372674] [drm:ring_stuck] *ERROR* Kicking stuck wait on render ring [ 169.373276] [drm:ring_stuck] *ERROR* Kicking stuck wait on render ring Also the video will play in what seems like 1 FPS Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run mplayer on some avi file 2. observe failure of life 3. open bug report Actual Results: [ 161.372074] [drm:ring_stuck] *ERROR* Kicking stuck wait on render ring [ 165.372674] [drm:ring_stuck] *ERROR* Kicking stuck wait on render ring [ 169.373276] [drm:ring_stuck] *ERROR* Kicking stuck wait on render ring Expected Results: no errors with proper playback framerate. more dmesg error stuff: [ 169.373282] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* no progress on render ring [ 169.373284] [drm] capturing error event; look for more information in /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state [ 169.383415] [drm:i915_set_reset_status] *ERROR* render ring hung inside bo (0x3b35000 ctx 0) at 0x3b3501c contents of the /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state file: http://pastebin.com/hKfG0fUH (seriously the file is huge)
Which kind of kernel is this? It says "3.11.1-ph34r". If this is a rather unmodified kernel, please report this upstream at https://bugzilla.kernel.org and provide us a link to the upstream bug. If you modified this kernel, we suggest you to reproduce this with sys-kernel/vanilla-sources to make sure the report is clean.
Please see upstream solution: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61571 Basically the newer intel video driver should be used with newer kernels which ironically are masked. I had to unmask an "unstable" driver to fix my stability issue. Someone should unmask packages that are required to function.
