Linux Zen Kernel - experimental xe intel driver
Hi,
There might be an issue with the artix zen kernel with the intel xe driver.
Are they being built with intel xe modules enabled?
It used to work for me awhile back on archlinux when i was using it.
Fresh install of artix openrc/xfce4 today the arch way or manually, not a calamares install.
Using kernel commandline in grub:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i915.force_probe=!a7a0 xe.force_probe=a7a0"
This works with the lts kernel but fails with the linux-zen kernel, im unsure about the standard linux kernel as that is not installed.
I just get a black screen after the grub prompt, it doesnt get to the cryptsetup password prompt.
I dont have a fancy partition layout, just efi boot and root.
nvme0n1 259:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 512M 0 part /boot
└─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 512G 0 part
└─artix 253:0 0 512G 0 crypt /
I was able to narrow it down to the artix zen kernel because the archlinux zen kernel works with the xe driver as I installed the archlinux zen kernel with "pacman -S extra/linux-zen after uninstalling the artix kernel.
Btw i have the artix-archlinux-support package installed and configured to install the arch kernel.
Just thought you should know and maybe investigate.
