[Solved] d-u yields non-booting system

[OppaErich]

Hi,


I just did a dist-upgrade and the new kernel does not boot. There were errors about nvidia and virtualbox modules not building during d-u too.


I get to see some error messages:

[BUG] using smp_processor_id() im preemptible [00000000] code sshd/1113
       "                                                                       "        code sshd/1191
and ... code isc-worker 0000/4537
      ... code dnsmasq/1167



The boot process stops then. Kernel 4.14.8-towo.1-siduction-amd64 does boot though.


Have fun,
Stephan


Edit: I can't suspend for days now. Well - I can but only the PC wakes up again, the display stays dark. The power LED of it keeps blinking which means there is no carrier = "dead" input.

New Kernel came in today but virtualbox and nvidia still fail to build.

experimental repo worked for me

[OppaErich]

Hi,


thanks for answering. I've tried the driver from Experimental. This one builds fine but the newer Kernels still don't work. Where dont't work means gdm does not show up. 4.14.8 is fine.

A 3+ hours irc session fixed it. 


Thanks guys,
