[SOLVED] Kernel crash since upgrade to 4.8.2 today

Hello,

Just as an information, in case somebody else encounter this.

I just upgraded my system today and after reboot I'm getting some errors and kernel crash.

See attached photos.

I'll probably boot from USB, chroot and re-install previous kernel.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/do … the_kernel

Thank you.

Pitou!

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel crash since upgrade to 4.8.2 today

You might consider installing the lts kernel (linux-lts) as a backup for times like this. You can keep both kernels installed and boot into the lts kernel if you have problems with mainline (or use lts all the time if you don't need the newest kernel.)

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel crash since upgrade to 4.8.2 today

This kernel completely crashed my system too with the same errors as you.

How did you downgrade your system? Mine is not usable.

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel crash since upgrade to 4.8.2 today

Johan: I had the same problem.  I downgraded the kernel like Pitou, and now my system is fine.  I used an Antergos live disc (it's a live Arch distro with a GUI), chrooted into my root filesystem, and then downgraded to kernel 4.7.  This guide ought to help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/do … the_kernel

In a nutshell: 1) boot into live Arch system, whether it's the Arch live disc or an Antergos disc like I did.  2) mount your root file system.  For example: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt  3) chroot into your file system.  It'd go like this: arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash 4) downgrade your kernel, kernel headers, and any modules.  It'd look like this: cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg THEN pacman -U linux-4.7.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz linux-headers-4.7.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 5) reboot!

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel crash since upgrade to 4.8.2 today

Hi,

For your information, today's update to linux-4.8.2 rendered my system unusable too, although my error messages were different from those of Pitou : they were errors during boot time, from systemd saying it could not find my /, /boot, /var, and /home partitions (accompanied by a whole lot more errors due to unmounted system partitions).

Similarly to Pitou, booting from a live USB, chrooting into my Arch system and downgrading the linux and linux-headers packages solved my problem.

@ 2ManyDogs: Thanks for your advice, will install linux-lts to make things easier to deal with, if such issues appear again in the future ;-).

Thank you very much Corey Goettsch, that helped a lot!!

Nobus, I was just about to ask the same question. I saved my dmesg's, they could be helpful for a bug report.

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel crash since upgrade to 4.8.2 today

If someone Bisects the kernel should find the cause.
Note the stable series branches from mainline so you would need to check 4.8 first to see if the bug is in the stable series or the mainline series.
Might also be worth checking 4.9rc1 to see if it has already been fixed upstream.

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel crash since upgrade to 4.8.2 today

I'd say might as well bisect from the last known good kernel, I suppose it shouldn't add many extra steps if any. Testing 4.9rc1 and knowing if it works would help when reporting the bug upstream as it probably helps narrow down the problem.

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel crash since upgrade to 4.8.2 today

My system boots, but my root filesystem (btrfs) is reported as been full, despite only 11GB used out of 20GB. When I boot from the live USB and mount the filesystem it is fine.

I am getting these worrying stack traces in dmesg which suggest btrfs is totally borked in this kernel:

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel crash since upgrade to 4.8.2 today

In this kind of situation where clearly some people have a similar problem with boot and a kernel oops/crash it would be very helpful if people would say a bit more than "me too" - and include perhaps the details of the hardware to see if there is a pattern to which machines have a problem with the upgraded kernel. The first post had a screenshot which showed that the machine was an HP Pavilion but it is not clear which version though the BIOS version appears on the same line which may also be useful info.  Do the other reporters have the same machine or a different one where this problem is happening? Which graphics is installed? Could a specific graphics chip be problematic with kernel 4.8.2-1?  Perhaps those who have already posted could edit their "me too" posts to add in some hardware details. I have four machines (three different sets of hardware) all of which are running the new kernel without any problems, and presumably the majority of people are in the same position.  So finding a pattern to narrow down what the issue is might allow a fix to be found. Also if you downgrade to a working kernel you should be  able to get the journal log file for the problematic boot and include that in any reports rather than only the selected snippet where the stack trace lines are. Fuller logs can be helpful.

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel crash since upgrade to 4.8.2 today

All of the posters posting so far are not applying the microcode update. I'd suggest you do that and see if it helps. Especially Haswell and Broadwell users are affected by a processor bug for a functionality that modern GCC attempts to use if possible.

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel crash since upgrade to 4.8.2 today

I just tried the ucode update and it didn't help.

However I found what is causing the crash for me with 4.8.2. It's the broadcom-wl-dkms wifi driver.

If I remove it, my laptop boots and works fine. This chipset is a BCM43142 and it never worked well in Linux. Broadcom are silent about linux driver updates.

Not sure what to do from here.

It happened to my old 2003 R50 too. I tried with applying the microcode update, just in case, which didn't help. Downgrading the kernel helped.

It's the broadcom-wl-dkms wifi driver.

What version of the broadcom-wl-dkms package are you using?

This one: broadcom-wl-dkms 6.30.223.271-10

EDIT: just noticed that user "enricostn" reported the same issue on the AUR for this package

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel crash since upgrade to 4.8.2 today

Ok, problem solved, I was not at -10 (6.30.223.271-10), probably something before. I updated this driver from AUR.

Everything works as before, although still not perfect for this chipset! smile

Thanks everyone.

Pitou!

You might consider installing the lts kernel (linux-lts) as a backup for times like this. You can keep both kernels installed and boot into the lts kernel if you have problems with mainline (or use lts all the time if you don't need the newest kernel.)

Could you point to a how to for the lts kernel? I didn't find a wiki page for linux-lts. Is there a way to pick which kernel at startup? I did find the wiki page "Kernels"  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Linux which has a link to the linux-lts package and a reminder

Note: Do not forget to change the boot options in your bootloader, e.g. GRUB, to use the new kernel.

but that's in a section about building custom kernels, so it's unclear to me. Is it just "update-grub" so it includes linux-lts in the boot menu?

Thanks,

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel crash since upgrade to 4.8.2 today

I removed the Broadcom proprietary driver and installed the firmware files for the b43 driver.

For now everything seems to be working fine but I also updated the Intel microcode.
