Attachments: the .config used to compile the 4.20 kernel for the Dell D420

the .config used to compile the 4.20 kernel for the Dell D420

The kernel 4.19 did not boot, giving a black screen after a distribution update.
I used the old 4.18 kernel to boot. This worked. 
I compiled the new 4.20 kernel myself. This worked. 

Since the kernels 4.18 and 4.20 both worked, i suspect that something in the .config of the 4.19 kernel is wrong. I can not boot the 4.19 kernel, so reading the /proc/config.gz is not possible for me. I therefore find it difficult to check this myself. 

I have included the .config i used to compile my working 4.20 kernel. This is a striped version of the .config of the 4.18 kernel.

I have a Dell D420 with a Intel Mobile 945GM graphics controller, driven by the i915 kernel module. I use the X window, in case this might be relevant.

I just bought a Dell Chromebook witch had a similar problem and might be a duplicate. The chromebook is a 64 bit machine, so this will get a separate bug.

Bug 1116425 is also the same, looking at the posted video.

I just tried it again with the latest kernel-pae-4.19.11-1.3.i686. This gives the same result. Black screen, and than a reboot.

My bug is a duplicate of Bug 1120186.

I just tried kernel-default-4.19.11-1.3.i586 as suggested in Bug 1120186. This kernel works with me also.

Sorry, I should have looked in all the bugs....
