kernel 5.9 won't boot on my system
« on: 2020/10/26, 20:11:05 »
5.8.16-towo.1 still boots fine.
Also KDE is not upgradeable for me (lot's of packages to remove) and has been for a while.

And you think, that helps in any direction?

I guess since it works fine with the last one and I haven't troubleshooted why, I guess it doesn't help.  I get stuck on simple things sometimes.  I just thought someone would appreciate a warning.

I've been running your kernels for years now and have been infinitely appreciative of them.

So you see, that kernel is working in general.
Let me oracle, you have a nvidia acard and you are using the blob, then have fun, a new driver, which supports kernel 5.9 or higher wil not be avaialable in the near future.

Thank you, that must be my problem.

OT: I have a new siduction install (siduction 18.3.0 Patience - kde - (202008212153)
) with a ASUSTeK TUF GAMING B550-PLUS with AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G with Radeon Graphics.
Is kernel 5.9.1 already in the repos? I cannot install it.

Thanks for your information, I will hold the kernel before I install the 5.9.

This will never happen, since such kernel won't be distributable, that patch violates the licence.

Those of Nvidia or the GPL of the Linux kernel?

Well, to want to use a distribution with always up-to-date kernel with a GPU that requires the proprietary driver nvidia is rather unfortunate.

Unlike you, I don't recommend buying a Radeon (everyone has to decide that for himself). If nouveau is enough (here intentionally a GF710, no problems with it), you can use it.

Btw., the thread starter could have called also times its concrete Nvidia GPU.

The kernel one.
This patch only removes the change, that non-gpl modules can use gpl'ed parts of the linux kernel.
Reverting that change clearly violates the kernel licence.
What people do on their own, is their part, but i can't do such thing in a distributed kernel.

+1

Speaking only for myself, with 2 Nvidia GPUs in the house, it would be good if release of the 5.9er could wait until the updated driver is available. Otherwise, it will be necessary to pin the 5.8x kernel before the du that installs 5.9.
