LibreELEC will not start with Intel ARC 750

  • Hi,

    I’m not sure if I should report here or GitHub. However the latest nightly builds will not boot past the “just enough OS” logo if I use my Intel ARC750. If I remove that card and use the AMD 6400 it works fine. I can still SSH into the machine while it’s at the logo.

    I’m assuming Mesa support isn’t quite there yet?

  • So I tried adding that as suggested and rebooted, still no luck. Same issue


    This might help. Looks like it’s recognised.


    Here is the log.

  • The i915 driver is not probed. it should look like this.

    Kernel driver in use: i915

    Code
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
    DeviceName: Onboard - Video
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P Integrated Graphics Controller
    Kernel driver in use: i915

    See my dmesg

    And the drm devices

  • Can you please run lspci -s 03:00.0 -n and check that 56a1 is the device ID of your card that needs to be used by the force probe.

    Otherwise - If it is the MEI error.

    I believe we will need to update the kernel configuration.

    Looks like we need to update the kernel

  • atoulmin -

    Confirm that i915.force_probe=56a1 Is on the same line as quiet in syslinux.cfg

    Can you please share the full dmesg want to make sure we are heading in the right direction.

    Run modprobe i915 force_probe=56a1

    Share the dmesg output from the modprobe.

  • So I didn’t realise it had to be on the same line, adding the force_probe at the end will now boot LibreELEC into Kodi. Hooray.

    However when I attempt to play a video I get sound, but the picture will Goto switch but will revert to Kodi menu. The movie will continue to play with sound but no video.
