Created attachment 1429820 [details] dmesg from boot with kernel 4.16.3-200.fc27.x86_64 which works. Can't supply dmesg or anything from failed boots because of the problem manifests too early Description of problem: After power up, goes through boot menu, but never comes to passphrase entry for encrypted volume. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.16.5-200.fc27.x86_64, 4.16.4-200.fc27.x86_64 How reproducible: Always on my system, it is enough just to power up and watch the screen. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Power on the notebook 2. Watch the screen, after going through boot menu it never comes to passphrase entry for encrypted volume Actual results: Black screen Expected results: Should boot normally like with kernel 4.16.3-200.fc27.x86_64 Additional info: My T440s has ATI graphics. The disk layout is de facto standard, sda1 - /boot, sda2 - PV with encryption and / and everything in LVM
Errata: There is no ATI graphic on that T440s, it has Intel graphics.
4.16.3-200.fc27.x86_64 from updates-testing exhibits the same problem Please fix this soon, I would like to update one of T400s notebooks which is designate to receive early releases and updates to F28 as soon as possible, but I am worrying to do so while experiencing the described problem.
Update: The hanged boot can be tricked to complete by pressing some strange key combinations or sequences, like <Alt><Alt><Enter> or <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Enter>. Not sure if there is any key sequence/combo always working on the first attempt. This works with 4.16.6-200.fc27.x86_64, 4.16.5-200.fc27.x86_64, not tested with uninstalled 4.16.4-200.fc27.x86_64. I have also tried to enable the TPM module which i normally have in the visible, but not active state, e.g. may be said non-standard setting. Changing TPM to active in BIOS did not fix the problem.
When in hanged state, reaction to <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del> is "reboot: Restarting system" followed by immediate reboot.
Hi Eduard, This sounds like it may be https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1572944. Can you try 4.16.6-202[0]? It's on its way to updates-testing, but you can download it from koji[1] as well. Thanks! [0] https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-4.16.6-202.fc27 [1] https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=26711183
Hi Jeremy, thanks for pointing me in the 4.16.6-202 direction, this version does not exhibit the problem. Thanks again, Ed
Perfect, thanks for confirming! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1572944 ***
