1. Please describe the problem: Microsoft Surface Go 2 cannot boot new kernel. I suspect the problem is because of the following commit: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20200817092428.6176-1-tony@atomide.com/ My system seems to stop at "clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc" when trying to boot the kernel 2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel: 5.8.13-200 3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue *first* appear? Old kernels are available for download at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 : Worked find on kernel 5.8.12 which was prior to the abovementioned commit. 4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce the issue below: Install kernel 5.8.13-200 on Surface GO 2 or other system with Intel Pentium Gold 4425Y CPU 5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``: Not yet tested. Will attempt and update ticket 6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?: No. Stock kernel. 7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag. Kernel does not get far enough through boot process to log the failure.
Another user of the same hardware (Microsoft Surface Go 2) in the Surface Linux subreddit has confirmed that the issue is affecting kernel 5.8.13 on Arch Linux too. https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/j71vyl/surface_go_2_wont_boot_kernel_after_update_to/g82watc?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 This seems to be directly a kernel issue but I'm not sure how to file a bug with kernel devs
There seems to be some investigation of this issue already under way here: https://github.com/linux-surface/kernel/issues/63
> There seems to be some investigation of this issue already under way here: > https://github.com/linux-surface/kernel/issues/63 Thanks, I've replied to the thread there. Hopefully someone will run a bisect and we can pinpoint the exact commit causing this soon.
Sorry about the regression. A patch fixing this has been posted upstream, see: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-i2c/20201014144158.18036-1-hdegoede@redhat.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-i2c/20201014144158.18036-2-hdegoede@redhat.com/ I've added the fix for this as a downstream patch to the Fedora kernels for now. The fix will hopefully show up in the upstream stable releases soon.
FEDORA-2020-8c65b883c8 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 32. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-8c65b883c8
FEDORA-2020-8c65b883c8 has been pushed to the Fedora 32 testing repository. In short time you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2020-8c65b883c8` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-8c65b883c8 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates.
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 33-final by Fedora user frantisekz using the blocker tracking app because: If we're doing a respin for the shim bug, we can try and pull this one in.
I've tested the kernel on my Surface Go 2 by running: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2020-8c65b883c8` Everything seems to be working great and I no longer experience the problem. Thanks to everyone involved in getting this fixed.
F33 final is signed off, so there's no point to FE status any more.
FEDORA-2020-8c65b883c8 has been pushed to the Fedora 32 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '32'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 32 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-05-25. Fedora 32 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
