*ERROR* conflict detected with stolen region:... - karlheinrich - 6th July 2017

After installing Maui 17.3 (Build Version 20170303) I encounter the following error at start-up:

[quoted from KSystemLog]
6/7/17 5:41 AM kernel [drm:i915_gem_init_stolen [i915_bpo]] *ERROR* conflict detected with stolen region: [0xc6000000 - 0xc8000000]
[unquote]

I found some info on the Internet alas much too technical for me to understand for initiating corrective action and request expert assistance.

System info:
Frameworks version: 5.31.0
Qt Version: 5.7.1
Kernel Version: 4.4.0-65-generic
Processors: 4xIntel Core i5-6600 CPU @ 3.30GHz
Memory: 7.7 Gib of RAM
Swap: 32 GiB of Swap
OpenGL Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel® HD Graphic 503 (Skylake GT2)
Xorg-Server/Wayland: 1.18.4
Mesa 3D: 12.0.6

Thanks.

So this error prevents you from booting Maui?
Or is it just an error popping up but the system runs fine after it?


RE: *ERROR* conflict detected with stolen region:... - karlheinrich - 6th July 2017

No, it does not prevent booting Maui. The message pops very briefly up at the booting process. I had to install KSystemLog from Synaptic from which the the error message was copied from.

I also experience high CPU usage, Plasmashell 4% while system is idling. The CPU History (in System Monotor) is about 20%.

4% isn't a high cpu usage though.
You can try installing a newer kernel like the hwe 4.8 kernel that is available in the repos and see if it makes the error message disappear. Otherwise just ignore it.

Okay, will install a newer kernel and will ignore the error message if it's reappearing. Thanks.

In Synaptic PM I clicked on to 'Mark All Upgrades' which initiated upgrading the kernel. However the erratic CPU usage continued and the error message remained.

I decided to wipe the disk partition with Gparted, re-installed Maui, upgraded the kernel to version 4.4.0-83-generic and am happy to report that the system is now working smoothly with no temperamental CPU usage. But the error message is still popping up during boot process (which I shall ignore). All's OK now!
