Parrot 4.7 freeze

Support Driver and Hardware
1

Briefly describe your issue below:

New version of Parrot 4.7 doesn’t work on Dell Latitude e7250.
After installation the os is booting properly when it goes to X window I see only mouse pointer and black screen, not able to switch to console and after few sec the parrot is frozen. Same when running via Live option. In the previous ver 4.6 eveyrthing was fine, so probably some drivers related.

What version of Parrot are you running? (include version (e.g. 4.6), edition(e.g. Home//KDE/OVA, etc.), and architecture
(currently we only support amd64)

Parrot-security-4.7 @ mate.

What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)

Debian standard

Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)

no

parrot-upgrade or fresh install.?

3

Fresh install as i wrote above same thing when im trying to boot via livecd.

I see a RAID controller i would check to see if this is properly set up if in use or disabled if not. But basic logic says if was able to work in live mode(it had to to install), so if it worked before and won’t even boot live now what did you do when you installed…

I made a test and I switched the sata controller from Raid mode to AHCI but without any result same thing freeze.

I dont know but it may be helpful on the latest kali which is also running on 5.2 kernel everything works fine and the SD card reader also ( currently sdcard reader doesnt work in 4.6 not sure how about 4.7 coz im not able to run it on my dell )

I have same laptop, you need to add acpi=off to grub in order to get a successful boot. Something got borked with the kernel upgrade to 5.2.0-2

I compared kernel configs from Parrot vs Kali where everythings works fine and there is no big diff in the config:

< # Compiler: gcc-8 (Debian 8.3.0-19) 8.3.0
< CONFIG_ACER_WIRELESS=m
< CONFIG_LG_LAPTOP=m
< CONFIG_SURFACE3_WMI=m
< CONFIG_INTEL_WMI_THUNDERBOLT=m
< CONFIG_PEAQ_WMI=m
< CONFIG_TOSHIBA_WMI=m
< CONFIG_SURFACE_3_BUTTON=m
< # CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON is not set
< CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON_INTGPU_OFF=y
< # CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_OFF is not set

@rowie do you have more issues like this one and are u planing to make some changes for kernel in 4.7 and release the “fixed” iso version ?

Did you made some changes in kernel to get Parrot works fine with acpi ?
