Description rip057 2021-04-02 03:11:38 UTC
1. Please describe the problem:
after upgrade to latest kernel from both fedora 33 and fedora 34 kernel panic happens on boot.
system is dell precision 5500 with dual cpu x5690 72G of ram

2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:
 5.11.11-300.fc34.x86_64

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 :
this started happening a few kernels back on fedora 33 i tried the beta to see if anything changed it didnt.

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:
install latest kernel and boot


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``:

havent tried will try later.
6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:
no

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.

there are no kernel logs but what the serial output from kernel boot up with earlyprintk enabled.

serial console log from kernel boot up

Comment 2 rip057 2021-04-02 13:52:45 UTC
so i update to to the rawhide kernel
kernel-5.12.0-0.rc5.180.fc35.x86_64.rpm 
and the error still exists, I haven't hooked up the laptop to the serial to log the output but it still hangs and kernel panics.

Comment 3 robert.shteynfeld 2021-05-15 00:11:37 UTC
Same problem on Fedora 33.  Any 5.11.x kernel produces above error during boot.  Dell precision dual xeon 5690 with 128g ram.

Comment 4 robert.shteynfeld 2021-05-15 14:51:17 UTC
From kernel.org ticket "Can you add "mminit_loglevel=4 ignore_loglevel" to the kernel command line and
post the log please?"  I don't have a way to get logs from serial port (and have not done it before), so posting in case you can do this easily.

Comment 5 robert.shteynfeld 2021-05-15 15:19:43 UTC
I don't have a way to get the console output into a file, but here's the video in case that helps:

Comment 7 rip057 2021-05-15 17:23:06 UTC
I logged as much as I could in the attached file. at the top of this bug.

I also fixed this bug in the short term by removing numa node functionality in the bios.  without numa node functionality the kernels have been booting up fine.

I've proposed this fix for the kernel.org ticket, but apparently it does not work. I'd appreciate if it could be tested with serial console enabled to see what went wrong there...

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.
