 Sorry, I got it. Just needed some debian dev vocabulary...

Ok it works with the patch. Just having iptables logs on console makes
it unusable, but I do not use it exceot for booting.
Maybe it is a feature for a test kernel ?

 Ben,
 
 I patched, built and installed the kernel and it still crashes. I am 
 attaching the call trace to this message again. If I can get you any 
 more info please let me know.

I'm not sure, but that looks like it's failing to mount the root, as if
the boot loader was not loading an initrd.

Anyway, from your later message on debian-user
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2014/05/msg01438.html it seems
that the problem you had is fixed and is not related to this bug report.

Ben.

No it's not.  It sounds like you booted using what GRUB calls 'rescue
mode', which adds the kernel parameter 'debug' and makes the kernel log
more to the console.

Ok, it seems to have stopped now
and services of the machine are up and running.
In my case the patch was successful

I rebooted with the default entry : same thing (and since this machine
is part of pool.ntp.org I get many logs for incoming NTP packets)
However it stops afetr a moment (timestamp 111 in last log line), but
dmesg is replaced by those logs.

I have bootlogd, but it was not the behaviour in 3.13

2014-05-20 Thread Geoff
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.14.4-1
Followup-For: Bug #748574

Dear Maintainer,

Is this related to the problem reported on Arch Linux

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39811

which seems to have been reported to the kernel people :-

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73911#c8

I had this problem with my Gigabyte GA-H87-HD3 mother board.
The bios was on version F3.

I have updated to F8 and kernel 3.14 now boots ok.

Geoff

/boot had become a mess with on me so I cleaned it out and re-installed 
the linux-image-3.14-1-amd64 package with aptitude and wouldn't you know 
it - everything seems to work fine now. The only thing that has changed 
since I installed (and then purged) this package is the BIOS update.


Sorry if this confuses things. Someone on debian-users suggested that 
perhaps initrd.img wasn't getting constructed correctly.

Please note that, having noticed I was a bit out of date, I flashed my 
BIOS to the current level release by Gigabyte but the result with 3.14 
is still the same.

Did the PowerEdge R210 boot with previous Linux kernels?
If yes, what is the last known good version?

Please tell more about the installation of the 3.14.1 kernel.
(Was it a fresh install?
Was it a update? Was there enough disk space during the update?)

 PS : since I access it through an iDrac kvm which does not transmit

FWIW: I think that iDRAC kvm can transmit arrow keys and ConTRoL.
I can't tell how, but it is very likely that such keys are supported.
That those keys have special meaning on the admin machine,
is something to cope / workaround with.

Thanks, I will investigate it, I suspect it might be a java problem (and
I made a wishlist that we could navigate in menu with j/k)
I just wanted to warn you that testing might be difficult for me.

I did that but no way to save it. It's a Call Trace, ending with the 
instruction pointer RIP 0x0. I took a picture of the screen if it would 
help...

  When trying to boot 3.14.1 It stops at the first line booting the

  Please try adding the kernel parameter 'earlyprintk=vga' to make it log
  to the screen earlier.

Yes, please send the photo to the bug as an attachment.  (You may wish
to scale it down, but make sure it's still legible.)

It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.

 Attaching it here. Unfortunately shift+pageup and shift+pagedown did
 not function so I could not get more.

They never do after a crash.  But this seems to be enough information.

 The page faults are ominous…

Please test whether the attached patch fixes this, following the
instructions at
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official
