Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

After updating my kernel from the 6.8 to the 6.9 version and rebooting, I'm stuck in the boot sequence.
I see an error :
"Framebuffer coreboot8: probe with driver framebuffer failed with error -17".

boot

Tried to Google this error but found nothing relevant. Any idea?

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

Please chroot in from the installation media then post the system journal from the boot with the issue to a pastebin and post the link to that.

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

I used the fallback option of my boot manager to boot.
It worked and I was able to log into my XFCE session...but I have no WiFi, I don't know why.

I then saved the result of "sudo dmesg" to a txt file and put it in a pastebin.

https://pastebin.com/wZWPHJFZ

Everytime I try to boot from the normal boot option (not the fallback one) I see the same boot error.

Could it be related to the fact that this laptop use Coreboot as bios firmware?

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

Interesting, I'm having framebuffer issues too on my corebooted (libreboot) T430, with Intel HD4000 graphics.
Every time my system tries to open KDE, it works for a few seconds and then immediately Kwin restarts.

I get errors that say:

kwin_wayland_drm: Failed to create framebuffer: Input/output error

in journalctl.

My system was unusable in this state so I had to downgrade to kernel 6.8.9

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

Can you boot when adding "initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init" to the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters ?

Had a black screen after booting with this kernel parameter. I typed my LUKS password blindly and then the xfce session was up and running.
Still no WiFi.
Very strange.

If I look at errors In journalctl I see this.

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

It'll probably block both simpledrm devices - the wifi situation should be unrelated to that.
Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Or "sudo journalctl -b  > /tmp/journal.txt" and upload that.

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

When I'm blocked during the boot I have no other solution than a hard reset.
And then why I retry again to start the system everything is fine (so the boot problem is not systematic) and a "sudo journalctl -b  > /tmp/journal.txt" would be useless because the second boot was successful.
Is there any solution to save a failed boot sequence that was interrupted by a hard reset?

Here is what I see when the boot sequence is blocked :

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

OK I played a little with journalctl and I found the boot sequence that was frozen and for witch I was forced to do a hard reset.
Here it is :

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

Linked below is linux 6.9.arch1 built with the config from 6.8.9.arch1:

Does it have the issue?

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

I used the "downgrade" tool (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/downgrade) to roll back my kernel from 6.9 to 6.8.9.
It seems to have resolved the problem. I booted 6 times in a row without any issue.

It's a little bit disappointing to not have been able to identify the root cause but I think I'll wait patiently for future versions of the kernel to see if the problem was solved.

Thanks to Loqs, Boulder and Seth for the help!

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

The journal in #11 is from a boot w/o initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init and the problem here is that we're not getting rid of the simplydumb device.

For the boots w/ "initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init", https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboa … el_(SysRq) doesn't work either??

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

Thank you, seth and loqs for your input. I have had the same problem as patrick_g. Just for reference I have uploaded the output of journalctl -b here.
For me, adding the kernel option initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init worked well and my system boots up properly.

It seems however, that during bootup, I do now not see much of an output until my display manager appears.

Now since I am still quite a linux noob I would like to better understand what that option actually does. Reading through https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.14/gpu/tinydrm.html it seems quite cryptic to me. My only question would be: What are the functional impacts of this change?

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-5.1 … l-DRM-Misc and the option blocks it's init function, so the module cannot be activated.
You've a device w/ a kms capable driver (like 99.67545% of all users), so the device is close to useless for you and mainly serves as a fallback to get you a graphical wayland session if the i915 module has a hiccup - like the vesa driver would on X11 and just like that I don't like the approach because in reality people will just miss that they're running a software emulation - we had that in spades w/ the mesa split and the intel DDX driver /rant wink

I do now not see much of an output until my display manager appears.

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

@seth do you think this is a kernel regression?

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

(Internal) edid isn't applied: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=296012
Blocking the simpledrm device breaks the boot: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=295911 (hybrid system)
Not sure whether this SLI issue ties in: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=295987

There's certainly something going on around the simpledrm device and the journal in #15 doesn't even have the release failures - there's just the sysfs warning.

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

Anybody has a solution for this yet? I'm having exactly the same issue since 6.9.1, still persistent in 6.9.3.
I have to power cycle a few times until it boots correctly.

Yes I tried that before but did not work for me.
However just an early KMS start of the i915 driver did it for me(without the kernel blacklist option). Tried a bunch of restarts and so far so good.

I still see this issue even after upgrading to 6.9.3.
I would like to try your solution. How do you set an early KMS start of the i915 driver?

So put 'i915' in MODULES and regenerate initramfs.

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

Thank you rootinthemood.
I modified my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to put i915 in MODULES and regenerated initramfs and now the problem appears to be solved.
After 12 boots I haven't seen any boot failure (previously it was approximately one failure for 3 or 4 boots).

Re: Boot failure after upgrade to kernel 6.9

Yeah this definitely fixes it. No errors about framebuffer in journalctl and dmesg anymore. Also slow shutdowns I was experiencing are also gone but that maybe unrelated.
