Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager crashing with Broadcom chipset

Sorry for the delay. It looks like I do have that :

$ ls -l | grep r69.g17
-rw-r--r-- 1 moo moo 76239644 Jun  1 21:00 linux-git-4.20rc4.r69.g17ac524719f3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
-rw-r--r-- 1 moo moo  6560336 Jun  1 21:04 linux-git-docs-4.20rc4.r69.g17ac524719f3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
-rw-r--r-- 1 moo moo  9151676 Jun  1 21:03 linux-git-headers-4.20rc4.r69.g17ac524719f3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

How do I install that so I can boot from it and test?

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager crashing with Broadcom chipset

After installing that package as root, /boot looks like :

$ ls -ltr /boot/
total 134604
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    31232 May 16 21:47 amd-ucode.img
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root     4096 May 21 15:14 grub
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  5826432 May 31 08:14 vmlinuz-linux-lts

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  9321545 Jun 11 15:14 initramfs-linux-git.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30444793 Jun 11 15:15 initramfs-linux-git-fallback.img

I mention that because I'm surprised that it didn't rebuild vmlinuz-linux-git, but that could be normal.

After that, when I boot linux-git from the grub menu, there is no backtrace message on boot, and the network is functional. That version of the kernel seems OK.

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager crashing with Broadcom chipset

Marking as solved, because I upgraded the system while using the lts kernel, and got kernel 5.1.6, and I just noticed that did not have the problem. I'm guessing a bug crept into the kernel and has somehow been addressed. I just now upgraded to 5.1.12 and that is also fine. LTS is at 4.19.53, and that works.

Good to learn about git bisect!
