From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Bob Tracy Subject: 5.17.0 boot issue on Miata Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2022 21:54:15 -0500 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline List-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: debian-alpha@lists.debian.org Cc: mcree@orcon.net.nz, linux-alpha@vger.kernel.org When I attempt to boot a 5.17.0 kernel built from the kernel.org sources, I see disk sector errors on my "sda" device, and the boot process hangs at the point where "systemd-udevd.service" starts. Rebooting on 5.16.0 works with no disk I/O errors of any kind. Assuming the 5.17.0 kernel or its associated initrd had bad sectors, I rebuilt both and saw no I/O errors during the build nor afterward when copying the new kernel into place under "/boot". Even tried a cross-compile build of a 5.17.0 alpha kernel on my x86_64 platform to save build time (34 hours for a native build on a PWS 433au vs. 2 hours on the x86_64 platform). That build produced identical results when I tried booting on it. If anyone else is seeing this and can get a head-start on bisecting, that would be very much appreciated. I won't be able to get to it for about a week and a half :-(. 5.16.0 works. 5.17.0 doesn't. Might get lucky and find that the offending changes happened in the first 5.17.0 release candidate. As always, sincere thanks in advance. --Bob
