#186904 — Stretch and i3-7300T

Hi all,

Has anyone got 7th generation Kaby lake i3-7300T working with Debian?
I tried to install Stretch but unable to get it work.

I just tried Testing and now it is working but this is not what I
exactly want. I need stability.

The motherboard is ASRock H110M-HDV.

Would like toknow if someone is using similar settings.

Thanks.

Can you provide any error messages? What makes you think 7gen CPU
doesn't work?
I had some troubles with kernel 4.9 too, but my CPU is 6gen and my
problem was only with sound codec.
For now I suggest you to make sure your mobo firmware is updated,
install kernel image (4.12) from "stretch-backports" repo and also
install "intel-microcode" package.

If you press ctrl+alt+f2 can you get prompt?  If you can, login and apt 
install firmware-linux* and intel-micro-code. See if that helps.

Ok, now I got it working with Stretch finally.
I had to upgrade the Kernel and of course the firmware.
Now the display manager loads as it supposed to.
The only thing is that it seems running rather slow, I have to see what
might be causing slow access to HDDs.
 Anyway, now I have something I can work with.

Thank you everybody.

Oh no, I still got problem.

I have installed Stretch with non-free enabled and was able to install
then upgraded the kernel. I got some problems first seemed like
something to do with power supply so I got new power supply installed
today but the problem is that the system freezes at some point. I
haven't been able to pin point what is the cause of the problem whether
it's hardware or software...
I will follow up but in the mean timen I wonder if there's anybody who
is encountering problem with Kaby Lake processor with Stretch.

#187091 — Re: Stretch and i3-7300T PROBLEM AGAIN

At this point it is highly unlikely this "freeze" problem is CPU
related. There could be hardware problems like over-heating, bad memory,
power issues, etc. This list could extend forever.
To debug this problem you need to read syslog\journal to find what was
last thing your system did before\after "freezing".
You can do this by asking journald a whole log from previous boot:
    $ sudo journalctl -b -1
If you don't remember when that "freeze" happened, you can walk back
through previous logs to find the one with "freeze" problem by changing
-1 to -2, -3, etc
    $ sudo journalctl -b -2

Well, I don't know journalctl doesn't give me anything...

It once again happened while ago. I was transferring the files from the
back up HDD to main HDDs, I was also running the Firefox though I wasn't
browsing actively. Firefox crashed and then thing went froze.I think
it's something to do with PcManFM though...
 I was able to switch to other console, tty2 and tried to kill the
process but did not help anything. I was also monitoring the system
usage, CPU and memory usage were pretty low.
Maybe I should try using another file manager instead.

What couldn’t you get to work? Were you able to run the installer successfully? Reason being, for many a newer kernel (>4.9 which shipped with Stretch) does the trick.

You can run Stretch with a newer kernel from Backports[0] with relative ease.

What happens is that when I boot, the display manager fails to show
anything but the background. No user name, no nothing.

Yes, I agree for day to day use stability is the best and the older the 
system the more time it has to get fixed.

Probably a firmware problem, did you use the disk with the 
non-free-firmware included?  The packages you need to install are 
firmware-linux* and intel-microcode.

I would imagine prior to installing the non-free components it would be
beneficial to know which cd image was used to install testing. If it was
an official image w/o non-free firmware his success could most likely be
attributed to updated drivers in the kernel in which a backports kernel
would suffice. 

If the testing netinst media did include firmware then your suggestion
to install non-free firmware should do the trick. Though it might be
neccessary to modify apt sources to include non-free.

If everything is working as it should with the non-free installer and if 
non-free firmware is needed it will be auto-installed and the sources 
added to the sources.list and has been the case for me, except while 
testing the Stretch installer where it had multi bugs filed against it.

Would firmware-linux-nonfree bring any advantage as far as performance 
is concerned? I don't have it installed, and everything works fine on my 
machine, but I wonder whether I should consider installing it. I've just 
installed intel-microcode since I feel it might have an impact.

When in doubt, try:

 dmesg | grep -i firmware

and see if it complains about any files that it wants to load but can't.

to track down which package contains your firmware file.

I only find something related to ACPI, which I don't understand whether 
is significant:

~$ sudo journalctl -k|grep -i firmware
Sep 17 21:14:48 alan kernel: ACPI: [Firmware Bug]: BIOS _OSI(Linux) 
query ignored
Sep 17 21:14:48 alan kernel: acpi PNP0A08:00: [Firmware Info]: MMCONFIG 
for domain 0000 [bus 00-9b] only partially covers this bridge

And then a strange error message, it doesn't find a .txt file:

[...]

brcm/brcmfmac43602-pcie.bin is the firmware for my Broadcom BCM43602 
wireless card, contained in package firmware-brcm80211. Without it the 
wifi network adapter didn't work, so I provided it during installation, 
and then that package was automatically installed. I don't understand 
what's that brcm/brcmfmac43602-pcie.txt file, it complained about it 
also during installation, but the wifi card works nevertheless.

So can I conclude that I wouldn't get any benefit by installing 
firmware-linux-nonfree? And what about intel-microcode that I've just 
installed? Can I expect some performance related benefit?

I gather that microcode updates are usually issued to fix errata in the 
CPU's design [1], and without the intel-microcode package installed an 
older version of the microcode would be loaded from BIOS/UEFI in the CPU 
at boot time [2].

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/4b4hzx/is_it_worth_installing_the_nonfree_firmware_for/d15zljn/

So the point is not performance, but bug fixing, and it seems reasonable 
to install that package.

perhaps it is a bug

what if you do 
cd .../brcm/
sudo ln -s brcmfmac43602-pcie.bin brcmfmac43602-pcie.txt

and try reload the driver/module

On reboot I had a kernel panic. After removing that link everything 
works again. These are the messages I got:
