[SOLVED] PC won't boot anymore

Nhanderu · 2021-11-04 13:01:14

Hello.

I've been using Arch Linux on my current laptop for some months now and it worked perfectly. But two days ago I tried to reboot it and it couldn't boot up again anymore. I don't have much to say besides it freezes with a black screen. It won't load any TTY, nor anything. The only thing that shows are "loading linux", "/dev/xxx: recovering journal" and then it breaks.

Whenever I try to install a new 2021-11 version system, the same thing happens, but the live media loads fine when using the 2021-10 version, which led me to believe this was cause by some update. Is there any other way I can verify (or falsify) this idea? And, if it's correct, how can I 1) recover my Arch linux installation with it's files (if possible) and 2) how can I discover which update caused all of this?

Some videos I recorded of the aforementioned cases (sorry for the horrible quality)

1. Trying to boot my PC: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1thji9Y … 50SOk/view
2. Running 2021-11 install media: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M6KU27 … -dsiR/view
2. Running 2021-10 install media: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F4Oxu0 … a30ld/view

If there's any info you need, please ask.

Thank you all!

Edit: solved.

Have you tried disabling modesetting?
From the 2021-10 installation media please chroot in and post the system journal for a failed boot.

Wow, it worked. I added "nomodeset" as a kernel param on 2021-11 and it worked perfectly. Thanks! Do you think that adding this param to grub.cfg would be a good permanent solution? Also, do you know why this happened?

I'm not used to it, but I assume you mean the errors from journalctl, right? I don't understand most of its output, and I don't know exactly what data could help you. Would you help me with that?

Thanks!

No, he means the entire journal.
You don't know what's relevant and we don't know, because we can't see it.

Eg. run "sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io" will upload the journal for the previous boot.

Nhanderu · 2021-11-05 14:52:43

I fixed the problem by downgrading the linux kernel to 5.14.14.

Looking at /var/log/pacman.log, I saw that I updated the kernel from 5.14.14 to 5.14.15 on 2021-11-02, and after downgrading it, everything worked pretty well.

I saw your post after I "solved it", but anyways, the generated URL is this.

Install the LTS kernel (so you've something to boot) and udpate the kernel again to 5.14.16, try to boot it w/ "iommu=soft" as kernel parameter.
Please also post a journal for the (hopefully successful) LTS boot for comparism (or your present boot on the downgraded kernel)

I tried booting the 2021-11 live media, which supposedly uses 5.14.15, with "iommu=soft" and the problem persists.

Well, actually I ran your command (and generated the URL) with the downgraded kernel already. I can upgrade the kernel again, chroot into my system via the live media, and get another journal data, if you want.

seth · 2021-11-05 16:08:41

Yes, but "-b -1" is for the *previous* boot.

I tried booting the 2021-11 live media … with "iommu=soft" and the problem persists.

https://www.spinics.net/lists/amd-gfx/msg69180.html

Can you boot that kernel w/ "iommu=soft" and "nomodeset" and upload the system journal ("journalctl -b | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io")?

I'm sorry for my delay. Here is the result: http://ix.io/3Em2

Though to be fair,

The upload is only the session journal and fairly uninteresting (aside from the main user target being reached at all)
