[SOLVED] DELL Vostro doesnt finish boot process with HDMI pluged in

Question

I am using Xorg 1.16.1, when I try to boot my machine with a external monitor (HDMI) plugged in, X does not start.
Here is what dmesg says:
[ 7.368666] brcmsmac bcma0:0: wl0: brcms_c_d11hdrs_mac80211: txop exceeded phylen 137/256 dur 1602/1504
[ 7.390077] brcmsmac bcma0:0: wl0: brcms_c_d11hdrs_mac80211: txop exceeded phylen 157/256 dur 1762/1504
[ 7.528043] brcmsmac bcma0:0: brcms_ops_bss_info_changed: arp filtering: 1 addresses (implement)
[ 11.048888] [drm:ibx_irq_handler] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun
[ 27.815808] [drm:ibx_irq_handler] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun
when I pull the HDMI cable out, X starts properly:
[ 53.849688] fuse init (API version 7.23)
This is what lspci says:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)
Has anybody an idea, what could be wrong with my system?
regards

Answer 1

Yea I m using light-dm.
Ok, I just did another reboot to check the log files in the plugged-in/out case and I discoverd, that the boot process can not be completed as long as the HDMI cable is plugged in. (So my first Headline was unintentional right : ) )
I checked dmesg I both cases and they only differ only in the last few lines:
PluggedIN case dmesg:
[ 7.411395] brcmsmac bcma0:0: wl0: brcms_c_d11hdrs_mac80211: txop exceeded phylen 137/256 dur 1602/1504
[ 7.429694] brcmsmac bcma0:0: wl0: brcms_c_d11hdrs_mac80211: txop exceeded phylen 157/256 dur 1762/1504
[ 7.520580] brcmsmac bcma0:0: brcms_ops_bss_info_changed: arp filtering: 1 addresses (implement)
[ 60.760060] [drm:ibx_irq_handler] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun
[ 67.101403] fuse init (API version 7.23)
As you can see at the time stamps, the boot process stops as line 3 and only continues at line 4 when I pull out the cable.
PluggedOUT case dmesg:
[ 7.325765] brcmsmac bcma0:0: wl0: brcms_c_d11hdrs_mac80211: txop exceeded phylen 137/256 dur 1602/1504
[ 7.347581] brcmsmac bcma0:0: wl0: brcms_c_d11hdrs_mac80211: txop exceeded phylen 157/256 dur 1762/1504
[ 7.515908] brcmsmac bcma0:0: brcms_ops_bss_info_changed: arp filtering: 1 addresses (implement)
