[SOLVED] Random kernel panics during boot (Waiting for UDev uevents..)

Update 2012-03-31: Workaround confirmed to work, see tenthirteen's post.

Update 2012-02-03: I've narrowed down the problem to the 3.x kernels. Downgrading to kernel26-2.6.38.5-1, with the other packages up-to-date (using nouveau instead of nvidia driver), solves the problem. Still, I still consider this a problem since it forces me to use an older kernel, so if anyone has any idea how to find the problem I would be very thankful!

When I came back home after the summer vacations I did a huge upgrade with pacman -Syu (of course I read the announcements before). This included linux (3.0.3-1) from kernel26 (2.6.38.5-1) and udev (167-2 -> 173-3). After this point, the boot process randomly fails from time to time; today I had to restart more than 20 times before my machine would boot successfully.

It always occurs during "Waiting for UDev uvents to be processed". Some of the errors are:

1. The computer freezes when the message is shown (cursor stops to blink).
2. Nothing happens for a long time, then Waiting for UDev uvents to be processed [ FAIL ]s.
3. Short and long error messages that look similar to this guy's (except for the last line).

I greped for some of the error messages in /var/log but they don't seem to be logged, so the examples below are from my handwritten notes and thus not very complete (there are a lot of other error messages except these lines). It's also possible that there are some mistakes. Note that they're from different boots.

BUG: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000286

BUG: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

These errors are seemingly arbitrary which makes it very hard to find the problem. Sometimes it works without a single complaint, sometimes it says something about "No caching mode page present, Assuming drive cache: write through", and sometimes I get different errors (the examples above are only from today!). As you can imagine, it gets pretty annoying.

So far I've tried to:
* Use the fallback mode - nope.
* Rerun mkinitcpio -p linux - nope.
* Append noapic and nomodeset to the kernel in GRUB - nope.
* Install and try kernel26-lts - seems to work, although I don't understand what other differences there are (e.g., it doesn't start X). At least this seems to suggest that it's not a hardware problem.
* Unplug all USB devices before boot - sometimes works, sometimes not. Doesn't seem to be a direct connection.
* Remove my custom settings in /etc/modprobe.d - nope.
* A lot of other things I've forgotten.

Edit: I forgot to mention, once it's booted, the system works perfectly fine. No kernel panics etc. That's the second reason why I suspect it's not a hardware failure.

I've been thinking about trying to downgrade the kernel and udev, but with the renaming and all dependencies I'm not sure how to do that.

Since I've run out of ideas how to troubleshoot this issue, I would appreciate if I could get some suggestions here. I've search around and found similar posts but no solution that works for me.

Finally, here are some more information.

Re: [SOLVED] Random kernel panics during boot (Waiting for UDev uevents..)

I've temporarily fixed the problem by doing the following:

removed cryptsetup (1.3.1-2)
removed lvm2 (2.02.88-1)
removed mdadm (3.2.2-4)
removed linux (3.0.6-2)
upgraded mkinitcpio-busybox (1.18.5-1 -> 1.18.2-1)
installed gen-init-cpio (2.6.36-1)
upgraded udev (173-3 -> 167-2)
upgraded mkinitcpio (0.7.3-1 -> 0.6.11-1)
installed kernel26 (2.6.38.5-1)
upgraded nvidia-173xx-utils (173.14.31-1 -> 173.14.30-1)
upgraded nvidia-173xx (173.14.31-2 -> 173.14.30-1)
upgraded initscripts (2011.07.3-1 -> 2011.04.1-2)
upgraded net-tools (1.60.20110819cvs-1 -> 1.60-18)

I also restored my old /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, /etc/inittab and /etc/rc.conf.

I'm still interested in a solution to the original problem. Is it a problem with my configuration, the new kernel, the udev version or something else?

The difference in inittab is just a -s option and the mkinitcpio.conf files are the same except for some comments. rc.conf has the biggest changes and is now (removed comments):

Re: [SOLVED] Random kernel panics during boot (Waiting for UDev uevents..)

nvidia, udev  and the kernel are nice candidates to search for problems

upgrade one package at a time (i would leave udev for last) and test which package breaks. then file a bug

Re: [SOLVED] Random kernel panics during boot (Waiting for UDev uevents..)

I have old singlecore Sempron which runs for years now and yesterday after system upgrade I was unable to boot anymore. It mostly hangs with something like this screenshot from the first post or with message Booting the kernel which goes right before message Starting udevd. I downloaded Salix live CD and tried to boot computer but it hangs at exactly the same spot. Also tried Chakra live CD but keybord was unresponsible. Then I started to play with BIOS and lowered CPU External Frequency from 200MHz to 180MHz. After that I am able to boot Arch.

At this moment I am presented with text login, not with Slim which I use for some time and still need to figure out is it result of last upgrade or something else is wrong. Chakra now boots normally and KDE is up and running.

Re: [SOLVED] Random kernel panics during boot (Waiting for UDev uevents..)

nvidia, udev  and the kernel are nice candidates to search for problems

upgrade one package at a time (i would leave udev for last) and test which package breaks. then file a bug

So, now I've found that the new 3.x kernels are the cause of the problem. However, I still have no idea why, and would like to narrow it down further before posting a bug report. Any idea how to do that?

Try disabling hyper-threading in the BIOS or by booting with 'maxcpus=0'

I'm having similar issues on a P4 3.4GHz CPU on an Intel motherboard but booting without HT/SMP works.

Still tracing what the actual problem is, udev or kernel is my guess.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that and report back! (My CPU is a P4 2.6GHz.)

Re: [SOLVED] Random kernel panics during boot (Waiting for UDev uevents..)

Further analysis.. Narrowed it down to a HT P4-specific issue with kernels after 2.6.38 on some Intel motherboards.

Seems to be appearing in bug reports on Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, etc.

From this thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/876359

It appears that using "processor.nocst=1" and re-enabling HT in BIOS brings back HT and avoids the panic.

According to Linux kernel boot parameters:

processor.nocst [HW,ACPI] -> Ignore the _CST method to determine C-states, instead using the legacy FADT method

So little is lost by using that option vs. disabling HT entirely, and hopefully it will get fixed in an upcoming kernel release.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for this! Sorry about the long delay, I've been busy lately and didn't want to risk to break my system. Now I can confirm that adding "processor.nocst=1" indeed fixes it. The stock kernel still causes this problem.

I'll be damned. You know i've had to add ACPI=OFF to every single live image ive run into in the last couple of months. ive also got a P4 intel.

Now if only we could find a way to get the old catalyst for my radeon xpress200 to work with the new kernels we'll be in business here lol.

Re: [SOLVED] Random kernel panics during boot (Waiting for UDev uevents..)

with acpi=off i usually got the mesg "no specific IRQ entries, using default mptables" and one or two fails at boot, but im always able to login.

i just checked with processor.nocst=1
I dont get the warning about the mptables, but it *still* hangs on udev lol.

Something that might help: i noticed the BIOS version on this computer is not the one from intel for the board but one from e-machines. I dont know if theyre the same or what kind of dammage i could do trying to switch them lol.

either way this "bios bug" about the mptables, and having to use acpi=off, has only been going on for the last couple of months and on all the major distributions. Old images still boot up fine and automatically. So im inclined to think its the kernel more than my bios.
