Bug Description

I have been running Ubuntu 11.10 for some time. After linux-kernel update to 3.0.0-13 ubuntu does not boot, keeps on that magenta blank page ... If I select 3.0.0-12 in grub I can boot as usually. If I select linux 3.0.0-13 it does not start,

grub.cfg seems a bit different between 3.0.0-12 and 3.0.0-13

Have exactly the same issue. Somewhy there's no initrd.img generated for new kernel. 3.1 from kernel mainline ppa doesn't boot too.

Can others seeing this issue confirm that booting back into 3.0.0-12 resolves the issue?

Can you report what type of hardware you have?

@pvilela

Can you try to re-install the 3.0.0-13 kernel by copying the deb from the archive[1], then 'sudo dpkg -i linux-image*'

Be sure you have enough disk space.

#33

We recently had a problem with the 2.6.38 kernel which was similar, and it was tracked down to being a patch that had been backported from the latest kernel. That patch is in the 3.0.0 kernel. The problem only showed up in systems with hybrid graphics - i.e. both an intel graphics device and another brand of graphics interface.

Before we start bisecting to find the problem, I thought it would be worth reverting that single patch to see if it resolves the issue.

Please test that kernel and report whether is solves the problem.

The test kernels are here:

http://people.canonical.com/~sconklin/lp880476/

And the source tree the kernel is built from is here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=sconklin/ubuntu-oneiric.git;a=summary
in the branch lp880476

Thanks!

Hi Steve

Thank you for your help. I have just tested it. Unfortunately the result is the same. I am attaching a photo of the kernel panic while booting in Recovery Mode

Thanks for the fast response. I'll start bisecting this and posting test kernels, please bear with me while we go through multiple tests. I've tried the machines I have on hand and can't reproduce this here.

ok, I've put the first test kernel up. It may take up to around 7 or 8 tries to find the problem.

The first test kernel for bisection is:
linux-image-3.0.0-13-generic_3.0.0-13.21~spc01lp880476_i386.deb

and is located here:
http://people.canonical.com/~sconklin/lp880476/

The following information will allow other people to reproduce what I'm doing if they need to:

If you're interested in what we're doing here to find this problem, there's more information here:

Unfortunately, this first test kernel originated a kernel panic as well..
Please send me the second one ...

By the way, when I install the linux-image package I always get this error
"Failed to symbolic-link /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-13-generic to initrd.img: File already exist"

Should I first delete the initrd.image file, or doesn't it matter ?

@pcilela -- there is something odd about how your grub update has gone as you have moved from an root=UUID=xxx form to a root=/dev/sda7 form. So it may be something outside the kernel which is failing here.

Can you try editing the boot line when in grub, to use the root=UUID=xxx form (the exact uuid should be copied from the -12 entry which works) and see if that boots ok. Please report how that work here.

Also we should be slightly suspicious of the initrd for -13 given your errors. So could you also run:

update-initramfs -u -k 3.0.0-13-generic

and report the complete output here.

I have edited the boot line in grub as instructed. There was no difference (the kernel still panics) apart the VFS message referring it could not the find the kernel in UUID=... (previously it could not find it in /dev/sda7..)

The "update-initramfs -u -k 3.0.0-13-generic" command does not produce any screen output. Is the output written on a file?

Well, we can continue to test bisected kernels in parallel with thinking about other possible problems. The latest is in the same place:

http://people.canonical.com/~sconklin/lp880476/

and is named linux-image-3.0.0-13-generic_3.0.0-13.21~spc02lp880476_i386.deb

The git bisect log to reproduce this is:

Please test and report, thanks!

@Andy

I tried update-initramfs command, anfd it seems it's broken, as it gives no output even for '-h' parameter.

@Steve
Unfortunately, you do not provide amd64 builds, so I cannot test your kernels, will try to understand kernel bisecting process to check all variants in short time...

Hah, /etc/sbin/update-initramfs is symlink to /bin/true! Changing it to /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.distrib solves the problem.

btw, where /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.distrib comes from?
initramfs-tools package contains normal /usr/sbin/update-initramfs

Oleg, thanks -

Paulo, could you please run this and paste the results?

"file /usr/sbin/update-initramfs"

Thanks,

'dpkg -S update-initramfs'

Thanks!

The second will have to be the full path, i.e. -

'dpkg -S /ursr/sbin/update-initramfs'

OK, I could run update-initramfs like this:

pvilela@IATE6:/usr/sbin$ sudo rm update-initramfs

pvilela@IATE6:/usr/sbin$ sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.distrib /usr/sbin/update-initramfs

pvilela@IATE6:~$ sudo update-initramfs -u -k 3.0.0-13-generic
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-13-generic

That was the only output

I think these are two different bugs. I'll get another test kernel to you as soon as I can.

Oleg, please use 'ubuntu-bug linux' to open another bug for your issue. Thanks.

Steve, no problem to open new bug, but why do you think there're two different bugs while I and Paolo both had broken symlink to update-initramfs?

Thanks to some instruction from Colin Watson, I understand this better now.

Ubiquity diverts update-initramfs during installation so that it's not run many times, and then restores it at the end.

Having the symlink wrong is a symptom that something failed in an indeterminate way.

If the system is one which can easily be re-installed from barer metal, that is your best choice.

If you want to attempt recovery, the next step is to try to figure out what failed, and the starting point for doing that it to examine the /var/log/installer/syslog file.

If you can't do a fresh install, please attach the file and we'll go from there.

This is apparently not a kernel problem, so there's nothing to be gained from further bisection of the kernel.

Thanks

Hi Steve

I do not have a /var/log/installer directory in my system. Is there another place to look ?

I can reinstall the system from scratch if you think it is the best way to go from here.

Paulo,

Yes, since you have no /var/log/installer directory, there's no real possibility of figuring out what went wrong, and a fresh install is the right way to go.

Yes, after a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 3.0.0-13 does boot ...something I wanted to avoid ...

ok Paulo. I'm sorry it required a re-installation but I'm glad you're up and running. I'm going to close this bug.

I'm having what might be a related problem on a hybrid laptop using ironhide: I can load the nvidia-current module in kernel 3.0.0-12 (amd64) but not in 3.0.0-13 or 3.1.

When I try to modprobe the nvidia-current module on the 3.0.0-13 and 3.1 kernels, the nvidia module reports:

Can't find an IRQ for your NVIDIA card!
NVRM: Please check your BIOS settings.
NVRM: [Plug & Play OS] should be set to NO
NVRM: [Assign IRQ to VGA] should be set to YES

and of course this is a laptop with a BIOS that doesn't give you any control over the IRQ assignment. lspci reports "Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11" for the nvidia card, so it does appear that BIOS is allocating an IRQ. According to lspci, the Intel GPU also is using IRQ 11.

I tried the Ubuntu 3.1 weekly build kernel, but it crashes badly with a NULL pointer deference when I try to modprobe the nvidia module.

I even tried a complete reinstall but I get the same problem.

Note that I used to be able to load the nvidia module into the 3.1 kernel until very recently, so were there any recent updates to initramfs that might be causing this?

Hi,
I also confirm same problem.

Couple minutes ago I installed updates with Update manager, and after restart could not boot any more.
I selected 3.0.0-12 in grub and booted as usually.

Using Lubuntu 11.10, fresh installation.

I this can help, my root partition is Luks crypted, and system halted BEFORE asking for password (this also mean that logs could not be written to /var/log ) .
I saw some alert about radeon, this could be lead to problem.

Best Regards

fwiw, when I experienced the problem, I downgraded to initramfs-tools 0.99ubuntu7 (via the builds at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/initramfs-tools/0.99ubuntu7) and locked it to that version in Synaptic, and afterwards whenever I installed new kernels they were able to load the nvidia driver again.

Please reopen this bug, reinstalation is not an option for everyone, and there are more people affected.

Thank you !

I have the same problem. Dell XPS L501X, Nvidia graphics (not dual), Ubuntu 11.10 64bit. Just ran the updates and got kernel 3.0.0-13 which does not boot.

Reverting to 3.0.0-12 works as usual.
