Upgraded to linux 4.13.11-1 thinkpad stuck during boot

I first noticed this issue with linux-ck 4.13.11-1 and reported it in the relevant thread,
where I've been asked if it also happens with linux 4.13.11-1.

Turns out it does.

Thinkpad x230 runs boot process until Starting TLP system startup/shutdown... step and it just hangs there.

Pushing the power button does start the shutdown process so the computer is not fully unresponsive.

What's in the journal? Have you tried disabling tlp? What are you starting (GDM is my bet)?

Re: Upgraded to linux 4.13.11-1 thinkpad stuck during boot

Not sure which journal I should look into as I have made a number of tries with different kernels. IIRC journal had "Starting TLP system startup/shutdown..." then things related to shutting down.

I have not tried to disable TLP, I needed my computer working ASAP and so after a few tries I booted to 4.9 kernel and downgraded the problematic kernels.

My DM is SDDM, my desktop is KDE.

Just wanted to confirm that i had the same problem.

Edit:
What have you done to diagnose / resolve the issue?
Find the last release of the linux package that does not suffer from the issue.  (  Download packages not cached locally from the ALA. )
What is in the journal from a failed boot?  Is every other package up to date?

Re: Upgraded to linux 4.13.11-1 thinkpad stuck during boot

Hi,

---------------
After writing the below message, I remembered that I had bfq as elevator. When I deleted that parameter from grub, it did boot. It was working normally before the full system update.

On grub menu, highlight the kernel you'd like to boot, press e, remove elevator=bfq, then press F10. And just change grub config to make it permanent.
---------------

I have the same problem. I will try to give brief info as I don't know how to get the dmesg from that unbootable system

model: 20FHCT01WW
kernels: 4.13.11-1 AND 4.13.11-1-ck-skylake
boot stops after 2nd panic code and before asking for disc encryption password.
all packages were updated

Does disabling SDDM help?

I have not had the opportunity to run more test or even reboot the computer yet.

I'll do it at the first occasion.

Re: Upgraded to linux 4.13.11-1 thinkpad stuck during boot

What I did was to boot 4.9 kernel line to downgrade 4.13 to the last working version.

I just reinstalled 4.13.11-1 and upgraded linux-ck to the latest 4.13.12-2.

I first tried booting linux-ck 4.13.12-2 and it worked, then I tried linux 4.13.11-1 and it worked too.

I tried a few more reboots and cold boots but I am now unable to replicate the issue I had.
This is weird as I reinstalled from pacman local cache the same kernel I had the issue with and issue occurred every time.

Sorry I can't provide additional details about this.
