General Protection Fault, with i915 and kernel-5.5.4
I have had three general protection freezes the first two of which seemed to be brought on by doing a window resize.
It has happened three times in approximately 16 days of use. It is not reproducible at will.
It was ok with linux kernel 5.4.x series. Kernel 5.5.1 looked ok but I only used it very briefly.
I had the first general protection fault with 5.5.2 - I was resizing an xterm window. I had another using 5.5.3 - I was resizing a Libre Office Calc window at the time. The latest fault with 5.5.4 was not associated with a window resize.
I will attach an extract from the syslogs for showing the traces.
Hardware: Asus P7H55-M SI with Intel Core i5 processor and Integrated Graphics [i915 driver]. Currently using a keyboard connected to a PS/2 keyboard port and using a USB connected mouse. Distro: Slackware-14.2, but with newer kernel. ------------------------------------syslog-2020-02-16-5.5.4-2-GPF.txt
