Description Peter Küppers 2023-12-07 14:00:55 UTC

After upgrading to kernel 5.14.21-150400.24.97 (kernel-default) my external monitor was no longer detected or available.
somewhere recommended kernel parameter i915.force_probe didn't help
switching back to kernel 5.14.21-150400.24.88 helped

Could you boot with "drm.debug=0x1e log_buf_len=16M" boot options for both working and non-working cases, and attach the outputs of dmesg to Bugzilla?
You can compress the files before uploading.

Hello Takashi,

sorry for the late answer, but Bugzilla login was not available for some days (LDAP error).

But the good news:
I don't know what I changed, which was relevant after I committed the bug. But it works now with the kernel 5.14.21-150400.24.97.

I have the following kernels and related rpm installed (from standard 15.4 repository):
5.14.21-150400.24.88
5.14.21-150400.24.92
5.14.21-150400.24.97
Means for every kernel the package:
kernel-default
kernel-default-extra
kernel-default-optional
And I 'juggled' with the kernel-macros package between the versions and used YaST Bootloader module in between changing default kernel.

Now it works and I've no idea, what was the reason for this. 
If it happens again, I'll have a closer look on the constellation.
Please let me know, if you need further information. Will put the bug status to RESOLVED - WORKSFORME.

Thank's a lot fot your help!

Peter
