I didn't get a chance to prove the original bug in LAVA, so now I've got that result too: Original bug: https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/249115 Fails to boot, as others have reported. Fixed kernel build: https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/249113 Kernel boots correctly and job runs to completion. To test, I downloaded the built .deb files and extracted the contents and made a modules.tar.gz from ./lib/. The jobs above include SHA256 checksums for the extracted files and the modules.tar.gz and I uploaded the files to: http://people.linaro.org/~neil.williams/linux-bug-922478/ (fixed build) and http://people.linaro.org/~neil.williams/linux-bug-922478/original/ (buggy build) > So I've just tried this linux-image-4.9.0-8-armmp_4.9.144-4 on my > OLinuXino-LIME2, it boots ok, everything seems to work well. > > Thanks ! > > Jean -- Neil Williams h...@codehelp.co.uk pgpcjugIwWJnB.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Can we correlate Debian kernel versions to something like https://kernelci.org/boot/all/job/stable-rc/branch/linux-4.9.y/kernel/v4.9.144/ or https://kernelci.org/boot/all/job/stable-rc/kernel/v4.9.144/ ? -- Neil Williams h...@codehelp.co.uk pgpHK6GGwUaWJ.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#916134: linux-image-4.18.0-3-amd64: 4.18.0-3 fails to boot, 0-2 works.
Package: src:linux Version: 4.18.20-3 Severity: normal I am unable to boot with 4.18.0-3-amd64 - the grub messages are replaced by a blank screen. I am unable to login, the Caps Lock button does not light up and the laptop is unresponsive to ssh and ping. I am unable to get to any virtual terminal, the only option is to reboot. I tried a variety of systemd debug operations but none made any difference. Note: I also tried rescue mode from the Grub menu but that failed in the same way. I was able to boot 4.18.0-3 to the systemd.unit=emergency.target but I was not able to get to a working system from that login. Switching back to 4.18.0-2 restored all functionality. I tried to reinstall the 4.18.0-3 package but that did not fix the problem. Let me know if there is extra information I can try to provide. -- Package-specific info: ** Kernel log: boot messages should be attached No boot messages are displayed - the screen goes blank and no output is displayed after messages from Grub. ** Model information sys_vendor: LENOVO product_name: 2516CTO product_version: ThinkPad T410 chassis_vendor: LENOVO chassis_version: Not Available bios_vendor: LENOVO bios_version: 6IET75WW (1.35 ) board_vendor: LENOVO board_name: 2516CTO board_version: Not Available ** Network interface configuration: auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet dhcp iface wlan0 inet dhcp ** PCI devices: 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Core Processor DRAM Controller [8086:0044] (rev 02) Subsystem: Lenovo Core Processor DRAM Controller [17aa:2193] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR- 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [17aa:215a] Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR- Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 00:16.0 Communication controller [0780]: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset HECI Controller [8086:3b64] (rev 06) Subsystem: Lenovo 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset HECI Controller [17aa:215f] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR- Kernel driver in use: mei_me Kernel modules: mei_me 00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10ea] (rev 06) Subsystem: Lenovo 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection [17aa:2153] Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR- Kernel driver in use: e1000e Kernel modules: e1000e 00:1a.0 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller [8086:3b3c] (rev 06) (prog-if 20 [EHCI]) Subsystem: Lenovo 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller [17aa:2163] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- SERR- Kernel driver in use: ehci-pci Kernel modules: ehci_pci 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio [8086:3b56] (rev 06) Subsystem: Lenovo 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio [17aa:215e] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR- Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel 00:1c.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PCI Express Root Port 1 [8086:3b42] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR- TAbort- Reset- FastB2B- PriDiscTmr- SecDiscTmr- DiscTmrStat- DiscTmrSERREn- Capabilities: Kernel driver in use: pcieport 00:1c.1 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PCI Express Root Port 2 [8086:3b44] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR-
