Slackware64 14.2, i915 and kernel 4.4.14 - Chromium / Dartium crashes


Hi all

I just updated my trusty old Lenovo T420 from 14.1 to 14.2, and immediately I got hit by some rather nasty crashes, specifically Googles Dartium browser (for Dart development) would hang on start, and Chromium would randomly crash/hang/lock.

I got no crashes if I disabled GPU/hardware acceleration, but that's not really a nice option, so instead I went to kernel.org and grabbed 4.6.4 and installed that.

And now everything runs. Flawlessly.

So if you're suffering from what appears to be i915 (2nd. generation) problems in conjunction with 14.2, then give kernel 4.6.4 a try. It worked miracles on my machine.
