[SOLVED] Boot fail after upgrade

Nelly · 2012-03-23 15:57:34

Dear archies,

I upgraded my archlinux via

sudo pacman -Syu

but after reboot I cannot boot. My kernel has some problem. This same is after reinstallation (or new install) archlinux. Could be a Kernel bug?? Because before all systems worked normally.

I have the same issue.

+1 : same issue here ...
Someone have an idea ??

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=138105 looks similar

Ecrelinf · 2012-03-23 18:02:16

Yes it is similar and the workaround adding pcie_aspm=force at the kernel line in grub works for me.

Nelly · 2012-03-23 18:47:59

Yes, adding

pcie_aspm=force

at end of the line in the /boot/grub/menu.lst works for me also, thanks. But why?

This appears to be a linux kernel bug, see: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42979

Out of curiosity - what motherboard do you have? Many people have reported this problem with Gigabyte hardware.

You are right, my motherboard is a GIGABYTE PH67A

I have a "gigabyte ga-p67a-ud3-b3", and do not suffer this problem atleast.
Just putting that here incase it might help to nail down the problem for you somehow.

I have the same problem with a gigabyte-p67a-d3-b3, but with grub2. Added pcie_aspm=force to /etc/default/grub per chroot as command line parameter, updated mkinitcpio, now getting "file not found" and no Linux menu entry at all...

Edit: had to reinstall grub2 - working now

Thanks - apparently not all newer Gigabyte boards are affected. Not sure exactly what hardware component is causing this issue. Some people with Asus boards have reported this aswell.

It might be a BIOS setting or such perhaps? - since the same mobo seems to work differently and mine works.

there is so many new techs in these mobos, like legacy IDE or AHCI,
or Legacy Bios or EFI.

Then perhaps it could be a grub-legacy/grub2 issue, or anything else.

I use legacy-grub, and i switched to ahci mode some weeks ago.

I use the ordinary, arch-bsd init-system, and have a very light load of daemons (though the latter probably doesn't have anything to do with it)
