[Bug 117314] Re: latest kernel(2.6.20-16.28) update gives boot problems
Hello, After upgrading to the latest kernel I aslo hade problems booting on my SATA drive. (Current setup, 2 SATA drives and 1 IDE). I used UUID ref in both fstab and menu.lst before the upgrade. After some investigation I managed to get my mashine to boot, the solution for me was to update the UUID of the drive. Meaning that this seams to have changed after the upgrade. Due to lack of time I have not hade time to correct my fstab yet, but I managed to get the system up and running just before I hade to run to work this morning :) Maybe I am confirming a fact that is already known, but if needed I can provide additional input about my hardware. -- latest kernel(2.6.20-16.28) update gives boot problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same problem as dschneller: The kernel update fixed the fixed the boot problem, but now the nvidia module fails to load. And, hell, NO, I won't file ANOTHER bug. I know I'm being unprofessional now, and I never thought I would. But this is the 7th system-breaking bug in 3 months for me, and my hardware and my system setup is not that exactly exotic. When one bug is fixed, I run into another. Really, this SUCKS. I've been using GNU/Linux for 11 years now, but I've NEVER encountered a Distribution with that many critical bugs.

[Bug 117314] Re: latest kernel(2.6.20-16.28) update gives boot problems
I'm sorry that people have been continuing to have problems with the -16.29 kernel update. We have not yet been able to reproduce these issues. e.g. a machine local to me using the nvidia binary driver loads without problems. Can you check that your linux-restricted-modules was upgraded along with everything else? To make sure you have the correct linux-meta packages installed, try: $ dpkg -l linux-$(uname -r | cut -d- -f3-) | grep ^i $ dpkg -l linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r | cut -d- -f3-) | grep ^i Ff either of these are blank, the top-level linux-meta packages are missing from your system, which could cause things like linux- restricted-modules to get out of sync with the kernel ABI. If this is the case, try: $ sudo apt-get install linux-$(uname -r | cut -d- -f3-) $ sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r | cut -d- -f3-) -- latest kernel(2.6.20-16.28) update gives boot problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I checked for the status as you asked. Turns out for some reason linux-generic was not installed. To fix it, I did an apt-get update, installed it via your command line above and then did an apt-get upgrade just to be sure I had everything as current as possible. While X11 starts ok now - the VMware server at first still could not be used. The VMware-Server-Console started, however I could not resume an existing VM.

[Bug 117314] Re: latest kernel(2.6.20-16.28) update gives boot problems
I installed the new update because I suffered from the hard disk renaming (Intel PERL865 mainboard). Now I can boot again, however X11 does not start, because it claims it cannot load the nvidia kernel module (FATAL: Could not run the install command for nvidia). After some fiddling I could load it from the command line and launch X11 manually. However I wonder why it was not started on boot, because I just ran the same /sbin/lrm-video line I found in /etc/modules.d. Maybe some sort of a race condition on boot? I do not use any RAID stuff - the / drive (containing all system components) is connected via PATA and is called /dev/sda. There are two more disks, both SATA (sdb, sdc), however they just contain Windows and some linux data - not needed for boot. I also noticed that I could not start use VMware server in the manually started X11. Upon starting a virtual machine it just failed immediately with no error message. Trying sudo /etc/init.d vmware-server restart failed to load the kernel modules, too. Is it correct that there is no updated linux-restricted-drivers package for the new kernel?

AllanEising: Try and remove all instances of /dev/s??? from your /etc/fstab , /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume files and replace them with UUIDs. The blkid command will list the UUIDs for all partitions. Do this in 2.6.20-15 so you can see the old /dev/s??? syntax and match it to its UUID. Please be careful and *take a back up of your /etc/fstab* because failure to make this change correctly can stop your system booting into any kernel. I repeat, this change is not for the faint of heart (although if you do slip up you can probably use a LiveCD to copy the backup /etc/fstab back to the right place). I'm not sure what the best practice for DVD/CDROMs is /dev/s??? references is...

Hi, Sitsofe Wheeler [2007-06-01 16:44 -]: Martin: Since it looks like we are headed for another change I think the word has to be put out to those who have gone and relabelled their /etc/fstab with the /dev/h??? syntax that we are now going back the other way. The folks over in bugs like Bug #94119 need to be warned that their CD drives are going to go back to being broken. Perhaps people need to be told what grub /module options can be added to diable ata_piix. People need to be warned not to upgrade to -16. People need to prepare for another round people having binary driver breakage Right, all of this needs to happen in the USN. The USNs already explain the ABI change consequences. Does the update go out as -security given that it's not fixing a security problem any more? What does -security mean? Yes, it needs to go to -security, since it was broken in -security. The problem was that -security was abused to introduce changes which were not security related, so we cannot just let them stay there. Also what happens to the current renaming bugs? Are they just closed? Do we just open a new bug if/when another great renaming happens? Is it worth trying to fix the PATA bugs being masked on SATA machines? Do we just close those bugs too?

Phillip Lougher I can see your between a rock and a hard place , ICH6 appears to function correctly under either libata or PATA, Hence the lack of bug reports (besides me) for this chipset. I don't think it matters which way you go with this for this chipset as I appear to be the only ICH6 person who noticed the drive renaming and I'm not the screaming kind. 2 others noted the ghost cdrom for the fstab entries but dont think that'd cause much fuss if you reverted back to libata. What would be cool is actually knowing because if I'm staying PATA I'll get hdparm out and ramp up my HD performance. Also there appears a number of issues using UUID for swap , I came across it a while ago UUID altering on swap over time. I also see a number of reports in the forums of people stating their swap changes UUID between boots. Could it be the some hibernate methods clear the swap (ala mkswap) thus generating new UUID's and leading to the resume issue on kernel change.?? I wouldn't have seen this besides having changed my swap over to physical drive number to keep my system functional across hibernations (uswsusp) shortly after the introduction of UUID.

Moreover, my root partition, whis is reiserfs, didn't have an UUID at all, so I had to boot a live CD and set a new UUID for it with 'reiserfstune -u `uuidgen` /dev/sda2'. Then, I replaced all the /dev/sda2 references in fstab and menu.lst with the new 'UUID=...' thing. Finally, rebooted and it just works fine now, even suspend to disk. BTW, I also replaced /dev/hdc from fstab with /dev/cdrom (a symlink to hdc) just in case.

Philip, Unhappily, the bad behaviour that other people are experiencing with the reversion wasn't intended. A wholesale re-reversion of the libata isn't an option because this will cause devices to change again for everyone, and everyone will be quite understandably upset. Sorry, but that's precisely what we have to do, and ASAP. Please let me reiterate that the purpose of -security is *not* to fix hardware where the release did not install before. That's bad luck. Breaking hardware where it did install before is absolutely not acceptable. Can you please prepare a feisty-security upload that reverts this change to the state of the release?

Martin: Since it looks like we are headed for another change I think the word has to be put out to those who have gone and relabelled their /etc/fstab with the /dev/h??? syntax that we are now going back the other way. The folks over in bugs like Bug #94119 need to be warned that their CD drives are going to go back to being broken. Perhaps people need to be told what grub /module options can be added to diable ata_piix. People need to be warned not to upgrade to -16. People need to prepare for another round people having binary driver breakage (both due to manual compiles but there also seems to be some percentage of people who this happens to who use lrm - perhaps there's a depmod race...) . Perhaps some public statement can be put out explaining what has happened and who it has happened to. Does the update go out as -security given that it's not fixing a security problem any more? What does -security mean? Also what happens to the current renaming bugs? Are they just closed? Do we just open a new bug if/when another great renaming happens? Is it worth trying to fix the PATA bugs being masked on SATA machines?

The reversion from libata for PATA to the older IDE drivers was done to fix a large number of bugs people were experiencing with the feisty final kernel.

Hi All, If you are getting the hangs early in boot symptom, I think this is related to a problem with resume. On my system the boot process is attempting to resume a non existent image and stops when it fails???. You can check this for yourselves. when system has stopped press ctrl alt F1 and read the message press reurn to continue booting (system should boot normally). It doesn't matter how you address the resume= via /dev/sd, /dev/hd or UUID= the kernel still hangs at this point (probably because the boot image references a non valid swap partition (probably sd).

It was definatly the '/dev/sda1' in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume. causing the 'hang with flashing cursor' which isnt really a hang its the system waiting for acknoledgment behind the usplash. Hance pressing ctrl alt F1 and enter gets the system booting.

Ok pinned the last bit of the puzzle down my suspend I'm using uswsusp so in /etc/uswsusp.conf I had /dev/sda1 (as that was the correct swap drive) so when the new kernel installed the and the devices no longer matched the initrd image no longer had uswsusp in it. Therefore correcting uswsusp (/dev/hda1) got suspending working again but of cause it wouldn't resume... Dpkg-reconfigure uswsusp fixes initrd and now only 24 hours after the latest upgrade my system is back to working. my main concern is that the Devs will now 'fix' this latest drive naming change and thus break my system yet again... at least I can fix it quickly now... -- latest kernel(2.6.20-16.28) update gives boot problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

After I upgraded, the grub menu.list file was incorrect. The entry for 2.6.20-15 looked like this BEFORE: title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-15-generic root(hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic root=UUID=6430bdad-99af-4e51-8552-4f50510924c1 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-15-generic quiet savedefault AFTER the upgrade, my 2.6.20-16 AND 2.6.20-15 entries were altered so that neither was bootable.

[Bug 117314] Re: latest kernel(2.6.20-16.28) update gives boot problems
Solution for me was to address volumes in fstab by their UUID. When I first saw 7.04's new UUID convention I didn't like it, didn't at all appreciate the automatic edits to my fstab, and didn't like how a portion of my hard-won (though limited) understanding of volume mounting had been broken without announcement. So I immediately changed my fstab volume names back to traditional `/dev/sdan`. Something about the -16 patch caused bad superblock reads on _some_ of my volumes. Not the root/boot one, but the one I use for /home and another. When I changed my fstab entries to UUID the bad reads went away. fsck _did_ turn-up and fix some garbage on my root volume on re- boot. The effect of all this, intended or not, seems to be that you must use the UUID notation. That may not be literally true, but as a practical matter I took it as sign to stop resisting. This sort of thing will keep coming up, I think. Learn volume UUIDs with `vol_id -u /dev/sdan`, probably as root. In fstab, replace volume names (the filesystem column) with `UUID=UUID string from `vol_id -u`. All's well now. I documented the `vol_id` syntax in comments to my fstab, so I won't have to look it up next time.

[Bug 117314] Re: latest kernel(2.6.20-16.28) update gives boot problems
There are various problems reported here. One of them is related to the relabeling of storage devices form sd** to hd**, wich produces a IRQ problem, and then an error message about DMA interrupt and DMA interrupt recovery. This is all related to disks not been found or not been properly identified byt eh kernel. Some people have said that they got it to boot by changing the refeernce in menu.lst back to hd** or using uuid's. I can confirm that this does NOT work on my system, as i use only UUID's references for my boot images. The 2.6.20.16 still refuses to load and hangs right there. I can also confirm that this problem affects the normal bot mode as well as the recovery mode. 2.6.20.15 loads fine, no problems at all, using the exact same menu.lst and fstab files. Besides that particular problem, there are people reporting issues with third party drivers, X server not loading and wireless cards failing to work. Please bear in mind that these issues are all related to modified kernel modules, and DO NOT apply to the kernel itself. it is quite normal to ahve to reconfigure yor kernel modules if you have made changes, like installing propietary graphic or wifi drievers.

@Vajra Yes, it should have been handled correctly, but there's no indication in your problem reports that it is caused by a bug in the kernel itself. i'm not saying that these are not important issues, i was just pointing out that the original problem reported is related to a rather specific and critical aspect of the kernel, as disk recognition and handling wich prevents it from loading and hangs the machine. If your system hangs when loading X server the kernel has already booted and it's up and running.
