My system freezes most of the time on shutdown/reboot with the latest 4.14 kernel. The problem doesn't occur with previous kernels (4.12 / 4.9).

The following error shows up in the kernel messages each time this happens:

No more freezes after I've disabled CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI. I'll report back if they should reappear.

[Comment 2 Tomáš Mózes 2018-01-05 15:46:09 UTC]

Maybe it's a good candidate to report upstream if you can reproduce on vanilla sources.

[Comment 3 teefax 2018-01-06 11:03:47 UTC]

I could reproduce the problem with sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-4.14.11. This seems to be related to the nvidia drivers not working properly with the 4.14 kernel. With the x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-387.22 the freeze occurs on shutdown/reboot. With nvidia-drivers-390.12 the freeze occurs directly after the login when pulseaudio is being started.

In both cases the problem can be avoided by disabling the HDMI sound codec support.

[Comment 4 Alice Ferrazzi 2018-01-06 18:58:27 UTC]

can you try with gentoo-sources-4.14.12

[Comment 5 Alice Ferrazzi 2018-01-06 18:59:24 UTC]

yes this is better to be reported upstream

[Comment 6 Mike Pagano 2018-06-08 22:42:36 UTC]

As this concerns a proprietary closed-source upstream binary, it is not in the context of gentoo kernel support.
