1. Please describe the problem: Attempting to build the linux-6-19.rc6 kernel with "-j21" operand to make almost always causes the system to freeze and cause the caps-lock key to blink. There is no pattern to the blinks... just a steady blink with no pauses. 2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel: 6.19.0-0.rc6.260121g6c790212c588f.44.fc44.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 : The last kernel that did NOT have this problem was linux-6.19-rc4. The problem began appearing with linux-6.19-rc5. 4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce the issue below: copy the current running kernel's config entry to linux-6.19-rc6/.config make oldconfig make -j 21 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``: Yes 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. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 2123460 [details] output of journalctl -k -b -1 > dmesg.txt Howdy, I would call this a crash but it's not like any panic/crash I've ever seen. Just a blinking (no pattern) light on the caps-lock key... and a system FREEZE. I was not using the keyboard at all since I was in the other room when the problem appeared. There was a previous problem like this in the 6.19-rc5 kernel from kernel.org but now there's NO error message(s) that I can see. Thanks for your help, George...
Howdy, The problem exists in the "latest" kernel "kernel-6.19.0-0.rc6.260122ga66191c590b3b.45.fc44.x86_64". There doesn't appear to be any messages in the journals (i.e., journalctl -k -b -1). Is that a bug? The other rc kernels were removed so I'm running kernel-6.18.0-65.fc44.x86_64 now. So far (3 runs), building the rc6 kernel has NOT failed. I'll rebuild the rc4 kernel which I believe did NOT fail... More info to come... :-) Anyone have any hints/tips/suggestions... just chime in. George...
Well... that was a short-lived plan. Yet another freeze has occurred. Help! George...
Hey George, Similar to the other bug, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2430550 see if the issue is reproduced with the latest fedora 44 kernel and fedora nightly builds.
