New Kernel seems broken for me
« on: 2021/11/07, 15:37:13 »
Hello folks

Today after the DU, my install brings me through grub and then gives mdadm:no arrays found in config file or automatically, then drops me to a initramfs shell.

Booting to the previous kernel allows for a normal boot.

new kernel 5.15.1-1
working kernel 5.14.15-2

I'm attaching a screen pic of the error screen.

Edit: No errors occurred after updating my lxqt install, new kernel boots fine.

TIA
Tom

That looks like, the kernel is not installed propper.

dpkg -l | egrep -i "x-image|x-head"
df -h

Looks all good, i don't see any reason, why that kernel should not boot.

Thanks towo

I think I'll try removing, then, reinstalling it and see what happens.

I'll post again afterwards.

Hello again

Removing the kernel, then, reinstalling it led to the same error as before. So, I'll wait till a new kernel is ready, and, see if the same thing happens, Very strange, but it is the first of the 5.15 kernels.

Thanks for your help towo

Here's a thread that describes the issue and some possible fixes (if a new kernel doesn't resolve it):

Thanks dibl

I played with the advice from the forum post. I couldn't fix or even have a different result come up. So, hopefully the next kernel will fix the problem, since it seems I'm the only one experiencing it.

Thanks again, obviously your Google Fu is a lot letter than mine.

Hello again.

It seems that 5.15.1-3 is giving me the same "can't find root" error. I'm waiting to see what happens when Tumbleweed releases a 5.15 kernel. Maybe I can do some comparisons. at least my 5.14 kernel still works.

Your error message where the UUID is not recognized makes me suspect something is not quite right on your system. Have you recently added any drives, or changed partition layout, or anything like that? If you are using the UUIDs in /etc/fstab, which I highly recommend, then you might want to compare the UUIDs in fstab with the UUID in the grub config file and make sure that it matches the boot partition. Do you have a swap partition -- your grub couldn't seem to recognize the UUID for resume, which would be the swap partition.

Hi dibl

Thanks for the ideas.

The machine has been running siduction for many years, hasn't changed a bit. It has a rack mount for the HDD. I have 4 disks that I can easily slip in, one with windows 10, one with siduction, one with Leap and one with Tumbleweed. anyway ...

The UUID in fstab, for root, is the same as the one showing in the error. Works with 5.14, errors out with 5.15. I have all the normal partitions /root, /home & swap.

I'm going to see if I can find something in the logs, Eventually the answer will turn up.

Hi GoinEasy9,
just to stand by you, my little server has the same problem with kernel 5.15, you're not alone :-)

It's an old installation, maybe 8 years, but dist-upgraded up to date and running fine with Kernel 5.14.16-2. Siduction is installed on the SanDisk SSD /dev/sda. There is no firmware update available. The three HDD are newer.

Code: [Select]
root@turing:~# inxi -D
Drives:    Local Storage: total: 5.52 TiB used: 1 TiB (18.2%)
           ID-1: /dev/sda vendor: SanDisk model: SDSSDP064G size: 59.63 GiB
           ID-2: /dev/sdb vendor: Seagate model: ST2000VN004-2E4164 size: 1.82 TiB
           ID-3: /dev/sdc vendor: Western Digital model: WD20EFRX-68EUZN0 size: 1.82 TiB
           ID-4: /dev/sdd vendor: Western Digital model: WD20EFRX-68EUZN0 size: 1.82 TiB

I hope it is an error in the Kernel and will be fixed in a new version. But I have the vague suspicion that something was dropped and will never come back  :'(

Have you more than one distro installed on your PC?
