[Solved] Failed to UEFI Dual boot w/ Windows. Kernel panic.

[Fitap]

Hi,

I did read the wiki of how to dual boot on gentoo and this time result me very hard to achieve this goal. Getting kernel panic.

I have installed with this method, 3 diferent boxes sucessfully. One more time I'm ussing a ssd nvme like storage and I not have initramfs.

Here you are the entire .config file.

Any of you can give a hand ?


Regards.

[pietinger]

I found this in your config:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_X86_INTEL_LPSS=y

So your machine should be an Intel Notebook.

Code: Select all

CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV=y
CONFIG_NVME_CORE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME=y
CONFIG_SCSI_MOD=y
CONFIG_SCSI_COMMON=y
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI_DMA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y

You have all needed modules for booting from a NVMe with ext4 compiled static into your kernel - good.

Code: Select all

CONFIG_SGI_PARTITION=y
CONFIG_ULTRIX_PARTITION=y

Do you really use this ... ?

This tells me your root partition is partition nr. 7 of your first NVMe:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_CMDLINE="root=/dev/nvme0n1p7 rootfstype=ext4 rootdelay=10 raid=noautodetect"
CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE=y

and you dont accept any further command line parameters (from UEFI).

So, if partition nr.7 is really your root partition, then I can see no mistake and we really need the complete error message of kernel panic !

----

All following is for later (=this is not the reason for kernel panic):
Enable this - You will need it:

Code: Select all

# CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is not set
and one of these:
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_BAYTRAIL is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_CHERRYVIEW is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_LYNXPOINT is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_ALDERLAKE is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_BROXTON is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_CANNONLAKE is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_CEDARFORK is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_DENVERTON is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_ELKHARTLAKE is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_EMMITSBURG is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_GEMINILAKE is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_ICELAKE is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_JASPERLAKE is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_LAKEFIELD is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_LEWISBURG is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_SUNRISEPOINT is not set
# CONFIG_PINCTRL_TIGERLAKE is not set

You should also configure a microcode update (you have not):

Code: Select all

CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=""

[Fitap]

Thanks for quicly response pietinger.

You are rigth, This gear is a Victus i5 from HP.

So, if partition nr.7 is really your root partition

Yes, the nr.7 is the root partition of my first (and unique) NVMe.

All following is for later (=this is not the reason for kernel panic):
Enable this - You will need it:

Thanks for the advice, I will do.

I can see no mistake and we really need the complete error message of kernel panic !

I dont know if is possible record boot screen from linux. Here you are a pic instead.

[pietinger]

A pic is okay and it says your notebook cant find this device.

-6 ENXIO
No such device or address. The system tried to use the device represented by a file you specified, and it couldn't find the device. This can mean that the device file was installed incorrectly, or that the physical device is missing or not correctly attached to the computer.

What happens if you boot with a live CD and ask "blkid". Do you see something like this ?

Code: Select all

/dev/nvme0n1p7: UUID="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" [...]

[Fitap]

blkid output from a live CD.

Code: Select all

/dev/nvme0n1p7: UUID="dafae8d5-0adb-4b57-bbc3-bb31d20e4412" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="d7e84ce3-f73c-d84b-917b-20ae73b0bae6"

[pietinger]

Ok. Please describe how you installed your Gentoo on this notebook - especially how you made your kernel config (I hope you didnt edit your .config directly).

[Fitap]

I never ever created a kernel by editing it manually. I always did it with the ncurses make menuconfig application.
I installed gentoo on this computer following the wiki handbook, as you know, partitioning, downloading the stage tarball. That's how I did with the other computers that are with me. This is quite rare for me. I have never been so stuck in an installation before.

[pietinger]

Please change your command line paramters to:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_CMDLINE="root=/dev/nvme0n1p7 nodmraid"

(As you have experience you know how to chroot into your installation and change kernel config and install kernel into /boot/EFI/...)
Does your kernel find its root partition now ?

Problem is: Your kernel config looks good and it is all in it needed for finding its root partition IF nr. 7 is a root partition; At the moment I can only imagine that your nvme switches off within 10 seconds; therefore I want to remove this insane waiting parm (you would only need for usb drives or mmc drives).

[NeddySeagoon]

Fitap,

Please show us the output of

Code: Select all

lspci -nnk

The exact output of the panic message would be good too.
It probably ends with

...unknown-block(X,Y)

If that true, the values of X and Y point to the problem.

e.g. (0,0) the kernel cannot find the block device at all.
(259,7) the kernel can find /dev/nvme0n1p7 but not read what it finds there.

Other values point to other things.

Your up to date kernel .config would be good' and the output of

Code: Select all

ls -l /boot 

[pietinger]

Neddy,

in the picture of his screen I could see it was: "unknown-block(0,0)". Because his kernel config looks good I thought it must be a problem with command line parms ("nodmraid" I recommended only to be save). Maybe there is a problem with BIOS settings too. I am just waiting for his report.

[NeddySeagoon]

pietinger,

I would not rule out the kernel .config being correct but the kernel derived from that .config not being booted.
grub does not always make the newest kernel the default.

Missing the correct

Code: Select all

CONFIG_PINCTRL_

option, if its needed, means lots of things never power up.

[Fitap]

Code: Select all

CONFIG_CMDLINE="root=/dev/nvme0n1p7 nodmraid"

Still with same issuse.

Code: Select all

lspci -nnk

[...] but the kernel derived from that .config not being booted.

Yes, this could be possible.

grub does not always make the newest kernel the default.

He is using a stub kernel and doing UEFI boot (=without grub).

Missing the correct

Code: Select all

CONFIG_PINCTRL_

option, if its needed, means lots of things never power up.

This is true for some devices (like touchpad connected via i2c - we all know ), but not for NVMe.

[pietinger]

Oh no ... I think I have found it. This must be also compiled in static and NOT as module:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_VMD=m

[Fitap]

Oh no ... I think I have found it. This must be also compiled in static and NOT as module:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_VMD=m

Yes !

Works with no other parameter in the kernel than the one required

Code: Select all

CONFIG_CMDLINE="root=/dev/nvme0n1p7 rootfstype=ext4"

Thanks guys.
