*ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun

[Oliver Ruebenacker]

Hello,

On trying to boot, Fedora crashes on my Lenovo Thinkpad T430 with this
message:

Booting 'Fedora (3.15.4-200.fc20.x86_64) 20 (Heisenbug)'

[   2.718947] [drm:cpt:cpt_serr_int_handler] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO
underrun

Actually, all kernels after 3.13.10-200.fc20.x86_64 are crashing on boot
on my laptop, but this is the first time I get an error message. Plus, I
also have random crashes a few times per day.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Best,
     Oliver

I didn't have chance to try but I think the latest kernel fixes it:

Hello,

You mean once I update to yet another kernel, things should be working
again? Would you mind explaining the reason for this hope?

Not sure about the quoted diff - I don't see how my problem is related to
backlights?

Thanks!

Best,
     Oliver

Thanks for the links, but could you explain what I am supposed to learn
from these links?

I see a similar error listed somewhere, but about attaching an external
monitor. I have not currently an external monitor attached (though I had in
the past). Is this relevant to my case?

The last one seems to require an account to access - is it worth signing
up?

Thanks!

Best,
     Oliver

Intel DRM is one of the most committed kernel components in general, perhaps. :)

Is that what you've seen somewhere relevant to your case.
Perhaps you can probably ask where you saw it? :)
