Description Ernesto 2019-02-14 22:48:51 UTC
Description of the problem:
The system shows a trace during boot and hangs.

Kernel version:
5.0.0-0.rc4.git0, 5.0.0-0.rc6.git0 and 5.0.0-0.rc6.git1.

Kernel 5.0.0-0.rc3.git0 boots ok. Version 4.20.3-200 also worked ok back in Fedora 29.

Reproducible:
Always.

No extra modules or proprietary drivers.

journalctl --no-hostname -k --boot=-1 (or -2 or -3) only shows previous successful boots. Please instruct me on how to gather information about a failed boot attempt (other than taking a picture with my phone).

My hardware is a Chuwi Lapbook SE Chinese notebook. Celeron N4100, Intel chipset and graphics.

BTW: seamless boot works. If I leave rhgb and quiet params, all I see is the Chuwi logo forever. I have to remove rhgb to actually see the trace.

I can guess the problem is related to the mmc driver, and I have to add that Fedora is installed on the integrated 32 GB eMMC on this notebook.

Comment 3 Laura Abbott 2019-02-15 01:09:25 UTC
If you try the debug version of the 4.20 kernel do you see the same issue? I ask because I left debugging code on a couple of times recently and that crash is coming from debug code 

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 you can install kernel-debug from here

Comment 4 Ernesto 2019-02-15 02:16:43 UTC
Yes, I tried kernel 4.20 debug and it crashed.

Comment 5 Laura Abbott 2019-02-18 19:30:31 UTC
Okay today's -rc7 build should have debugging enabled. Please try that. I also started a thread with the mmc maintainers upstream.

Comment 6 Laura Abbott 2019-02-22 22:03:25 UTC
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=32976235 can you test this scratch build when it finishes? This has debugging enabled and a potential fix from upstream.

Comment 7 Ernesto 2019-02-23 01:02:25 UTC
rc7 git 2.1 doesn't work, but rc7 git 3.1 does!

Comment 8 Ernesto 2019-05-09 18:52:31 UTC
So this is fixed in FC30. Should I close this bug?

Comment 9 Laura Abbott 2019-05-09 19:49:15 UTC
Yes I'll close it, the fix should have been picked up.
