Intel HD 530 not recognised by kernel 4.4.1

Question

After recompiling the kernel (4.4.1 on openSuse leap), i was expecting to, at least, see the gfx listed when lspci:

dmesg outputs:

...
snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: failed to add i915 component master (-19)
...

What am i doing wrong? Did i miss any option?

Thanks in advance, j

Which processor is that? Are you sure it has those graphics on board? There is an nvidia card after all... — Wouter Verhelst, Feb 13 '16 at 08:53

I also saw this, but the video card was disabled in the BIOS by default, so try enabling it there.

Same thing happened for me with i7-6700K (HD 530) running on an Asus Z170 motherboard. Had to specifically choose "IGFX" instead of automatic as my primary display source. – timss Apr 21 '16 at 17:56
