Upgraded to: gentoo-sources-5.10.103
and kernel will not boot, not even recovery mode.
I'm getting some strange looping/scrolling message on the screen:
Kscan: watching read 1 fsk983s....
I followed standard procedure:
emerge -avq =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.10.103
cd /usr/src/
eselect kernel set 3 (this is: linux -> linux-5.10.103-gentoo)
cd linux
cp ../linux-old_kernel/.config .
mount /boot/
make oldconfig
make
make modules_prepare
make modules_install
make install
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
reboot
( did the same on my other boxes and this kernel is booting OK on
other installations)
Solved.
Please post the solution. Otherwise anyone with a similar problem
searching for an answer will find only the question and a tease that it
can be fixed but not telling how.
Simple human error :-/
When I did:
cd linux
cp ../linux-old_kernel/.config .
mount /boot/
make oldconfig
New entries showed up. Instead of pressing "enter" I made a mistake
and press "Y" several times.
This enabled some feature in the new kernel that shouldn't be there;
example: "CONFIG_KCSAN = y"
Redoing the process just by hitting "enter" soled the problem; new
kernel boot as it should.
make olddefconfig will the same as oldconfig while picking the defaults,
this will save on hitting enter each time.
