[SOLVED] boot error

Alberto-Trujillo · 2023-11-04 17:31:37

Hi,
I just installed arch on a macbook pro along with the macos system.
I had never installed the boot system like this before,

bootctl --path=/boot install

Everything has gone very well and I can work without any problem within the i3 window manager.
However, during startup this message appears and I have no idea how I can correct it.

Arch Linux 6.5.9-arch2-1 (tty1)
arch login: [ 10.3193103 leee80211 phyl: bremf_inetaddr_changed: fail to get arp ip table err:-52

Please, I'm not asking you to do my homework, but could you help me understand where the problem is?

thanks in advance,
Alberto

You're gonna need glasses

See eg. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=270819 but out of context, that could have multiple reason that all boil down to Apple using broadcom wifi chips.

Than you Seth,
If it can be that complex and because everything works fine, I'll ignore the error.
Please, how can I set the boot to “quiet splash”? Since I don't have grub, I don't know how to do it.
Thank in advance

Since this will typically lead to disfunctional wifi and in case disabling the mac randomization doesn't fix it, I'd rather look at the journal to figure the cause and fix seek to fix it.

As for the kernel parameters, that vastly hinges on the bootloader you actually *do* use.

Hello again Seth,
My bootloader is systemd-boot; I show you a screen output of its installation,

[root@archiso /]# bootctl --path=/boot install
Created "/boot/EFI/systemd"
Created "/boot/loader"
Created "/boot/loader /entries"
Created "/boot/EFI/Linux"
Copied " /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-boot×64.efi"to"/boot/EFI/systemd/systemd-boot×64.efj"

Random seed file /boot/loader/random-seed successfully written (512 bytes).

If you don't want to invest your time with me, (because I'm very slow to pick up ideas), I'm fine with that. I have found a page on the archlinux wiki "systemd-boot (Spanish)" that explains the topic and I am happy to read it.

Thank you for your help,
Alberto

The config is pretty straight forward w/ an example in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … l_cargador

Back on topic: did disabling the mac randomization work and/or did you check the system journal for the cause of the error?
Does your wifi work?

Alberto-Trujillo · 2023-11-06 18:02:14

Hi Seth,
The link has been very helpful, thanks. I have edited the /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf file for a "quiet sflash" boot. (I have gotten rid of the ugly message)
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth do work.
I don't understand if randomization works; And I don't know how to check the system journal either.
If you want to guide me, I can enter the relevant commands and post the screen outputs

seth · 2023-11-06 19:31:34

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd/Journal
To post your complete system journal for the boot:

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

Alberto-Trujillo · 2023-11-06 19:43:07

[at@arch ~]$ sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
http://0x0.st/HtpF.txt
[at@arch ~]$

It doesn't seem like it's what we expected.

seth · 2023-11-06 20:32:44

Did you check the link?

MAC randomization is in place, you're using brcmfmac, I can't find at hand whether the broadcom-wl driver supports your chip
But you've the same chip as https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=270819 so disabling the randomization might prevent the error and, more importantly, help if the wifi starts to cause issues.

Alberto-Trujillo · 2023-11-06 21:53:32

I told you I'm a little slow in grasping ideas.
In my case it doesn't work: I created a new file,

/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi_rand_mac.conf

and added

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

But I got bluetooth errors too.
What's funny is that so far neither Bluetooth nor Wi-Fi has failed me; and I have been using this laptop every day since last Thursday when I installed archlinux.

seth · 2023-11-07 08:50:22

I guess you also rebooted - the randomization failure and brcmfmac errors of the other thread might be unrelated after all.
What kind of BT errors? There were some bluetoothd related messages in the journal but nothing that looks like an actual error.

Alberto-Trujillo · 2023-11-07 18:04:07

I have disabled wifi randomization again and after turning the laptop off and on, I have checked the system journal again looking for errors, and although I can see some in red, I think that is all I can do.
So if you have nothing more to add, I'm going to mark this thread as resolved.
Thank you very much for everything Seth; I have learned a lot with you.
