Hi All,
I'm using ubuntu 15.04 and after the change from XBMC to Kodi is when I started having this issue. It happens out of nowhere, it can hapen on the main screen, after watching several tv chapters, trying to install a new add-on. And the thing is that it kills completely the machine, I can't ssh or even if I'm logged in kill the process.
What could it be happening, how and which logs could I send?
Regards,
Djcrash1981.

Tell us about your hardware: Provide dmesg | pastebinit and a kodi.log after boot up.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Yeah it's for sure this kernel bug.
Kodi is OpenGL and therefore the power state of the GPU changes fast as hell.
If you want to test without touching any Software: Go to your Bios and disable the C6 powerstate. Set it to C1 and you will see.

If you choose this solution, you need to completely rebuild the kernel, which is certainly offtopic here.
I gave you two suggestions (one without any SW change) and one with a prebuild kernel.
Try one of those - start with the Bios change and set Max CState to C1. Beware that your BYT will get warmer.

If you also have the bug _with_ my kernel - you have a different issue. Make 100% sure that you are running this kernel.
Did C1 fix it?
Concerning kodi + vaapi: Yes, we have an architecture designed for full throughput. Bad drivers always happen with kodi first ...
