Package: src:linux
Version: 4.18.20-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I tried Buster with 4.18.20-2 kernel on an Alix 2C2, with Geode LX800, BIOS
0.99m.
After grub unpacking initramfs, the (serial) console outputs nothing (despite
earlyprintk/boot_delay), then it reboots by itself.
(Same with 4.18.10-1)
Then I tried linux-image-4.18.0-0.bpo.1-686_4.18.6-1~bpo9+1_i386.deb, and that
works mostly fine.
With this kernel, printk starts at about the same time, as with the other
kernel I would see the POST.
(Stretch 4.9 kernel also works FWIW).
For reference, I saw a Geode LX issue mentioned in this thread too:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2018/09/msg00295.html
My issue is maybe different than that, because I get no output at all (no "not
compatible with i586" message).
And as the stretch-backports kernel does work, I thought it isn't due to (the
mentioned in thread) upstream, but due to Debian's config.
(Or was perhaps meant, upstream gcc?)

So, as mentioned, I also tried that kernel, but same problem.
Note that the info below is while booted with the backports kernel (same
commandline options etc).
The info above (Subject/Version) I edited to match the nonbooting kernel.
Thank you,
Gert
