This is vmware guest
sfrench@ubuntu:~/xfstests$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 70 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4750HQ CPU @ 2.00GHz
(and using 64 bit kernel build) ...
I don't have the Ubuntu config for their mainline kernel test builds any more (deleted the kernel since it didn't work) but they post their .config diffs at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/
I could not get to a console so assumed it died in kernel as x was coming up. I will have to reinstall current mainline to see if I can hook up a serial console (I had maximum kernel boot verbose in the grub.cfg but nothing interesting before the black screen)
