Boot problem with kernel 5.11.4

[mdmarmer]

My system won't boot with 5.11.4 kernel, so I'm using 5.10.20
Here are some of the boot messages that appear:
failed to start port 0 (errno=-12)can't setup: -12init fail, -12irq 9: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)handlers:acpi_irqGave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:boot args, check rootdelay =Alert UUID= does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
Attached is the output of inxi -Fxxx

Do you have any build errors from the kernel installation? I get -

Code: [Select]

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.11.4-towo.2-siduction-amd64 (x86_64)

for virtualbox and rtl8812au.

I can boot with the kernel, but my wi-fi is gone (unsurprisingly)

[dibl]

All good here.

No build errors.  And the same kernel boots with no problem on a desktop system.  I have another laptop that is quite old. I may try on that one.

[towo]

With no offence, your thread is useless. If you have a problem with the kernel, the minimum would be to provide the hardware info from that system. Me and no other people here have a crystalball, where we can look, what could be the problem.

[Pip]

Sorry, towo, I'm the only one who didn't provide such so I presume that's for me, though it's not my thread.

[towo]

For vbox is a easy fix,

add

Code: [Select]

#include <linux/ethtool.h>to
/usr/src/virtualbox-6.1.18/vboxnetflt/linux/VBoxNetFlt-linux.c

Start dkms build after that change.

rtl8812au is not my construction site but i would oracle, google may have a fix for that even.
And no, it was mdmarmer, who had not provided any hardware info for his problem.

[Pip]

Didn't the sys.txt attachment he provided have what you needed?
I think I needed to update my git download for 8812au, so I wasn't pushing it at the time since I was fairly sure I'd find out about it eventually. I'd just hoped the small issues I'd had might help mdmarmer find something relevant in his apt or build logs.
Thanks, as always, towo.

[Pip]

I did already have the ethtool.h included, but only later in the file:

Code: [Select]

/**
 * We filter traffic from the host to the internal network
 * before it reaches the NIC driver.
 *
 * The current code uses a very ugly hack overriding hard_start_xmit
 * callback in the device structure, but it has been shown to give us a
 * performance boost of 60-100% though. Eventually we have to find some
 * less hacky way of getting this job done.
 */
#define VBOXNETFLT_WITH_HOST2WIRE_FILTER

#ifdef VBOXNETFLT_WITH_HOST2WIRE_FILTER

# include <linux/ethtool.h>
I'll poke around for a while to see what I can find out, but I'm in no hurry so please ignore for the moment. I'll start my own thread if it becomes a problem for me.

[towo]

Ah, i didn't see the attachment in mdmarmer's post, because i'm not aware anyone would attach a inxi output instead of posting it direct in a tread.

[mdmarmer]

The problem is that the kernel is not finding the root (/) partition. Is  there a parameter that could help? Should I file a bug report? If I do file a bug report, where would I file it? Do I need to provide more information? If so, what?
Basically the system is a fairly new Lenovo laptop with a fairly new Intel i3 CPU, an SSD (dual boot with Windows 10) -- one partition for linux and a swapfile ... all the details are in that sys.txt file I attached to my first post.  I get the same results with the 5.11.5 ... Both of these kernels boot fine on my older desktop system.  I had no problems until 5.11.4 ...

[mdmarmer]

I tried 5.11.0-5.1-liquorix-amd64 kernel on this laptop and it boots just fine and has no problems.  damentz  said that he "had to make a ton of changes recently on Liquorix to fix some boot issues."
I am using boot parameter pci=nocrs to get my touchpad working.
