rt2800pci module breaks entire OS

brb · 2023-09-22 17:00:30

I did a fresh Arch install. When I write lspci, entire system freezes with an error:

CPUd not responding to MCE broadcast
Kernel panic - not syncing: Timeout: Not all CPUs entered broadcast exception handler
...

I found a similar problem https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=220177
There was an advice to block rt2800pci module.
It worked! Now I have sticked with ethernet option.

My question is: how to repair wireless network controller?

My wireless network controller (currently, module is blocked), lspci -k:

03:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
	Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
	Kernel modules: rt2800pci

Are you sure the HW still works?
Is there a parallel windows installation?
Did you try the behavior w/ eg. the LTS kernel?

I am not sure about HW.
There is only Arch Linux on hard drive. (/dev/sda1 for Grub and /dev/sda2 for Arch)
Could you provide steps for installing LTS kernel? (now, I have the default Linux package from Core repo)

I managed to install LTS kernel and boot into it. Still the same problems as in kernel from Core repo.
Maybe, I should try to downgrade linux-firmware package?

b.t.w.
Even with loaded module, there is no wireless interface showing.

Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

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

There is only Arch Linux on hard drive.

"hard drive" is irrelevant to this question, if you're booting windows on this system at all, you're dual booting and the 3rd linke below becomes very relevant to this subject.

No Windows on this machine.

but no driver shows up - is this w/ a blacklisted rt2800pci ?
