Description jaskerx 2024-09-06 17:11:48 UTC
1. Please describe the problem:

Updated to Kernel 6.10.7 and now computer does not boot.

2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:

6.10.7.

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 :

Yes. Problem first appeared with Kernel 6.10.7.

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:

Reboot the computer. Allow it to automatically choose the newest Kernel (6.10.7). Get errors about AMDGPU frame buffers.

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``:

I will have to get back to you with this.


6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:

No. The latest change I made was adding preempt=full to my Kernel arguments, which is working with all the old Kernels.

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.

Does not work as the Kernel does not boot so nothing is logged.

Reproducible: Always

Just tried with the Rawhide Kernel kernel-core-6.11.0-0.rc6.20240905gitc763c4339688.52.fc42.x86_64 and I'm having the same issue so it looks like Kernel 6.10.6 is the only bootable Kernel for my system.

Comment 2 jaskerx 2024-09-10 17:49:21 UTC
Looks like this is my own fault, "preempt=full" is why the Kernel failed to boot removing the argument fixes this. Now without the argument I get occasional audio stuttering which is why I enabled the option in the first place. Can anyone tell me why "preempt=full" would cause this? Could it be that I am using the RPM Fusion version of MESA?

Comment 3 jaskerx 2024-10-03 18:56:27 UTC
Closing this as it seems to be a self inflicted wound. Somehow (I'm guessing by my own hand) grubby removed/deleted my kernel arguments so when I added an argument my boot would hang, since the arg I added would be the only one. When I removed the argument it would boot the grub defaults. I had to `grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg` in order to get all the default args to show up again in grubby, which might have been a good idea because it looks like my grub.cfg hasn't been regenerated since 2021.
