Black screen in kernel 3.8 (not 3.5, 3.11, 3.13)
- by TheDeeno
I need to use kernel 3.8 to address some docker compatibility issues. However, after installing this kernel when I attempt to boot my machine I get a black screen. The system appears to boot to the login screen (I hear the drum sounds), but the screen remains black. If I boot into recovery mode the video works, but is buggy/slow. In recover mode it looks like it's using the vesa driver. It'd be great if I can force this in normal mode.
My machine has an ivy bridge intel processor with integrated graphics
What should I do next to troubleshoot this?
