built a new machine, been nothing but hell. finally everything 'works' - but nvidia-drivers seem to force a hard shutdown with no warning or log of any sort that i can find system setup: evga x99 ftw motherboard nvidia card (tried a couple, both need the same driver, same age but diff line of card) new amd card for VM intel CPU with iommu / vt-d vt-x corrupted drive a few times - have tried multiple drives to make sure that wasn't it (PCI Ex ssd and sata) what i have tried: 1. nouveau (incredibly slow start up, doubles time to 'boot' and log in) ^does NOT freeze machine 2. patches for newer kernels - need <3.19 for nvidia 340.93 (see https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1014974.html) ^freezes machine still 3. older drives with patches (340.76 does not compile, 304.128 does) ^freezes machine still i'm not sure what's causing it - vfio? qemu? motherboard/bios? at this point i may have to stick with nouveau just wanted to put this out there Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: steps: 1. boot 2. run qemu-system-x86_64 ---- vfio link AMD card with romfile (see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162768) 3. shutdown VM 4. try to shutdown real machine (or switch to term with CTRL+ALT+#) and it completely freezes the machine - black screen - have to hold power down Actual Results: completey system freeze Expected Results: graceful shutdown
got an email on this. go ahead and close it, haven't even used that machine in a while (it's in storage right now) and i highly doubt it's an issue for most people or going to get fixed
