 Posted: Thu Apr 27, 2017 7:02 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Kernel upgrade and new init behaviour |
 |
|
I upgrade kernel from 4.4.26 to 4.9.16 (stable version) without problems.
At boot time, after grub menu, it don't show anymore init process step by step... it show that it loading kernel 4.9.16 and in short time I see greeter ready to login.
This isn't a problem, but during a session (of KDE) if I type "Ctrl+Alt+F1" to switch in a terminal, i get session with "loading kernel 4.9.16..." without conclude in a normal terminal login. I don't be able to open a terminal session.
If i type "Ctrl+Alt+F7" it return on KDE session normally.
Maybe, is there an option on the kernel that I missed?

Yeah you probably missed console options. Try diffing with your old kernel config, or you could pastebin your kernel config so the forum could look at it?
Also what hardware do you have, using EFI hardware?

Thank you for responce...
I'll try to compare my old and new kernel .config files, otherwise i'll post new config to the forum.
As hardware i have I7 on MSI motherboard and nvidia GPU, using EFI.
But I thought, could it depend from inittab file? |

Not so much the iniittab itself, but the gettys specified for the normal run level may be failing to load.
I believe the Gentoo default getty is "agetty"
I happen to use "mingetty"
Changing kernel version (and nothing else) will NOT affect the getty or the iniittab. From your initial description, I don't think the problem lies with inittab or agetty. You can test for this.

Since you mentioned that the bootup sequence also didn't show up, it's not your inittab... You didn't change it, right?

I have a couple thoughts, more in the form of questions. If the consoles "aren't there," would they still be defined in /dev? We know that either /dev/console or /dev/tty or /dev/tty1 is showing "loading kernel 4.9.16 ..." I assume that is coming from grub (before the kernel is touched)
My kernel boot line includes "console=tty1" and "quiet" I get a little bit of kernel-supplied output on tty1 (during boot), but the vast majority of the output is from openrc and services startup.
Was the hardware changed too? From the message, I think not. Still, in addition to checking for the presence of /dev/tty* devices, maybe the problem is rooted in console display, e.g., framebuffer, VESA - although if Ctl-Alt-F1 shows the "loading kernel" message, so some sort of display is working outside of whatever KDE is running on. |

Maxxx,
you should to post .config with wgetpaste, gentoo forum cuts too long message

I suspect FB_VESA
Your kernel: # CONFIG_FB_VESA is not set
My kernel: CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
| Code: | │ Prompt: VESA VGA graphics support
│ Location:
│ -> Device Drivers
│ -> Graphics support
│ (1) -> Frame buffer Devices |
This also results in: CONFIG_FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT is not set directly. It is set on certain other settings. I think if you turn CONFIG_FB_VESA on, your system will display booting as it used to. |

For EFI machines, CONFIG_FB_EFI and CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_EFI would be helpful.

| Maybe so, but your FB_NVIDIA isn't set either. All those settings (VESA, EFI, Nvidia) are in the same section of kernel config, "Frame buffer Devices" |

FB_NVIDIA is not set because i installed Nvidia driver 378.13 version, which, i think, include the right FB.
In my old kernel .config (4.4.26) i had not set any FB (I think so, i'll check it out). |

| I wouldn't set FB_NVIDIA myself. I used to have a system with nvidia on it (now I have amdgpu on one, and a couple laptops with Intel i915), and have always had FB_VESA set / built-in. |

There are reports of nvidia not playing well with the 4.10 kernels, most of them being complete inability to install.
Obviously something changed in your situation - and it may be that VESA FB of EFI FB (if either one works) is a kludge, a workaround, a dodge around the real problem. Meaning you never had a FB, but the consoles displayed anyway until you went to the 4.10 kernel. I've never had a FB setting changed on me during a kernel upgrade, but I copy my current kernel .config to the new kernel source directory and run `make oldconfig` |

Yes, in my odl config i have FB_VESA and FB_EFI set... but when i run
| Code: | | genkernel --oldconfig all |
maybe i don't copy well config file, and i must set again all kernel.
Now i try to set these parameters.
Thanks |

Then, FB_VESA and FB_EFI don't resolve my problems, but i looked for some parameter and i found this:
| Quote: | - Device Drivers
- Graphic Support
- Console display driver support
* Framebuffer Console Support |
I set it and now it work fine at boot and i have console with "Ctrl+Alt+F1".
It depend from a framebuffer, as you said.
Thanks to all |
