Summary | 0003872: Linux 4.9 regression in the nouveau driver: freeze during boot | ||||
Description | I have installed the latest kali rolling 2016.2 distro and after the latest updates. It doesnt boot at all throwing this error at startup and it freezes there | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Just boot into kali linux | ||||
Additional Information | CPU info: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz | ||||
Hi, it's working for most of us humans out there, BUT.. some machines may freeze I've stumbled upon. But only a few cases.. Try booting with the parameters: and if not that works, try adding the parameter "acpi=off" as a last addition to those too and report back :) |
|
I have disabled the nouveau driver, which fixed the problem should i enable and try that? if so , let me know how to enable it back since i did it using the instructions under Installing NVIDIA drivers on Kali Documentation Page sed 's/quiet/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' -i /etc/default/grub |
|
Ok! No then you found your problem mister! You are NOT the only one having problems with NVISIA drivers on Linux btw.. that one can be a struggle, which i don't know the solution for. Thanks for letting me know sir! |
|
We have upgraded Linux to version 4.9.13. It would be nice to know if this version fixes your issue with the nouveau driver. To drop the kernel command line option that you added, you can do this: sed 's/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/quiet/g' -i /etc/default/grub Thank you in advance ! |
|
I have checked with both the 4.9.13 and 4.9.16 kernel versions, the issue is still there. Sorry for taking so long to respond. |

Thank you for your interest in Kali, but we are not able to deal with such hardware support problems. Please read https://kali.training/chapter-6/filing-a-good-bug-report/ first. And consider that we are not kernel developers, if you know of a fix, we will gladly integrate it in our kernel build. Otherwise your best bet is to wait the next kernel update and keep around an old kernel that works for you (for example by installing an old known-working Kali image). |
