## How to report an issue ?  

Visit the [Intel GPU Documentation](https://github.com/intel-gpu/documentation/issues) 
project on GitHub to submit your issue.

Provide the following information when submitting your issue:

* Full kernel log from boot up
* Hardware configuration
* Reproduce pattern and rate
* Others that might be helpful

For example, to gather the information on Ubuntu*:

```bash
sudo apt install lshw dmidecode inxi
dmesg >> kern.log
sudo lshw >> hw_info.txt
sudo dmidecode  >> dmidecode.txt
sudo inxi -Fzm   >> inxi.txt
sudo lspci -vvv >> lspci.txt
sudo tar -zcvf dri.node.tar.gz /sys/kernel/debug/dri
apt list --installed  intel-platform-vsec-dkms intel-platform-cse-dkms \
    intel-i915-dkms intel-fw-gpu  intel-opencl-icd intel-level-zero-gpu level-zero \
    intel-media-va-driver-non-free libmfx1 libmfxgen1 libvpl2   libegl-mesa0 \
    libegl1-mesa libegl1-mesa-dev libgbm1 libgl1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-dri \
    libglapi-mesa libgles2-mesa-dev libglx-mesa0 libigdgmm12 libxatracker2 \

## How to map the DKMS kernel driver codes with tags?

The DKMS module source is developed and published in the [Intel GPU i915 Backports](https://github.com/intel-gpu/intel-gpu-i915-backports/) project. To map your installed kernel module to the source version, check the DKMS status after installation:

```bash
dkms status
```

You should see a result similar to the following:

```bash
intel-i915-dkms, 0.5834.220609.0.1011, 5.14.0-1034-oem, x86_64: installed
```

In this case, the version of the intel-i915-dkms is `0.5834.220609.0.1011`. Within that version string, `5834` is the build number. You can then look at the tags on the Intel GPU i915 Backports 
[tags](https://github.com/intel-gpu/intel-gpu-i915-backports/tags). Using `5834` as the example, you can see `UBUNTU2204_22WW32_392_**5834**_220609.0` as the source tag.
