I have a following hardware: - Intel Core i7 4770 - AsRock H87 Pro4 - ASUS GTX650-DC-1GD5 (Nvidia GTX 650) - Two monitors, one attached to intel graphics, another one to Nvidia I'm using pure UEFI boot with kernel stub. Asus card firmware is upgraded for UEFI GOP support. I have two graphics cards: integrated intel and nvidia. Sometimes I use my Nvidia for KVM VFIO pass-through. When I need to use VFIO I set my primary graphics to Intel inside UEFI setup and boot with modprobe.blacklist=nvidia. When I don't need to use VFIO I set Nvidia as primary and add modprobe.blacklist=i915. After upgrading to kernel 4.1.15 I have a very strange behavior: plymouth is displayed on Intel-attached monitor, while diagnostic messages are displayed on Nvidia-attached monitor. When system finishes booting I'm getting black screen on Intel, some diagnostic messages like "starting systemd..." on Nvidia and I'm unable to access X or console. I can SSH into my machine and remotely it works just fine. If I disconnect monitor from Nvidia - system works just perfectly on Intel card. I can attach monitor back to Nvidia after system finishes booting and use VFIO pass-through without any issues. If I boot without any modprobe.blacklist options, I'm getting console on intel but X is running on nvidia, even if I set Intel as my primary card in UEFI settings. This setup perfectly worked with kernel 4.1.12 and below. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set primary VGA to Intel in UEFI 2. Attach monitors to both intel and nvidia cards 3. Boot with modprobe.blacklist=nvidia Actual Results: Plymouth animation is displayed on intel during boot and then it goes black, diagnostic messages are displayed on nvidia and stay there forever. Expected Results: X or console working on intel card, black screen on nvidia.
After extensive debugging with different kernel switches and UEFI settings I found that switching from "Ultra Fastboot" to just "Fastboot" solves the issue. Buggy board FW?
1) `emerge --info`? 2) `emerge -vpq x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers x11-base/xorg-server`?
Or is this a CANTFIX?

@Jeroen Roovers: But I guess this is not related to xorg/nvidia-drivers because problem starts much earlier, during boot animation, from initrd (dracut in my case), even before root partition is mounted and init daemon (systemd in my case) starts. Let me know if any additional information is needed.
any news on this bug?
I'm on the different hardware and on the way newer kernel currently, so I can't provide any additional information. Sorry.
which kernel are you using ? is solved there ?
I'm on a different hardware, with Intel graphics only and running 4.9.76 kernel, so I can't really provide any info.
cannot reproduce
