Bug 584750 – >=gentoo-sources-4.6.0 fails to boot

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Robin Bankhead 2016-06-01 12:38:25 UTC]

Created attachment 436016 [details]
.config for gentoo-sources-4.6.0

Hardware: HP Pavilion dm1-4400sa
CPU: AMD E2-1800 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics

BIOS configured in full-EFI mode (CSM disabled).

Build procedure:
1. Copy previous .config to /usr/src/linux/
2. make oldconfig
3. make && make modules_install
4. Copy kernel, System.map and .config to /boot/
5. Build out-of-tree drivers and update grub2

Result: computer freezes at grub2 "Loading" message.

Last working kernel is 4.5.0 (can try more recent 4.5.x if required).

I didn't notice any error messages during build but can rebuild and log if required.

[Comment 1 Michael 'veremitz' Everitt 2016-06-04 23:27:18 UTC]

There are many things that could have gone wrong here .. the kernel is just one. grub2 configuration may have subtly changed, and your root device may have (accidentally) changed. There are a few things you can do here .. if you still have your old kernel image, does this still run, does the grub configuration match between your old image and your new? You will most likely need to drop to the grub2 shell to find out exactly what's going wrong here .. and you may need to add 'early printk' debugging to your new kernel if you are still struggling.

So, this is just my 2c, preliminary thoughts; hopefully you'll pin down the problem quickly.

[Comment 2 Robin Bankhead 2016-06-05 16:15:45 UTC]

Sorry, should have been clearer re: older kernel, that is still functional now under the same grub2 edition (and looking at grub.cfg the configurations for all listed kernels are the same; they're all autoconfigured with /etc/grub.d/10_linux).

I'll enable early printk and research and try booting from the grub shell (I've done this under grub-legacy but grub2 looks to be a lot more complicated in syntax). Thanks for the tips.

enable early printk.
