Kernel 5.10.29 causing endless reboots on Celeron 1017U
by xj25vm from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GHRW)
I've upgraded this laptop last week to -current 64bits. Today I finally decided to bite the bullet and upgrade the kernel as well. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it to boot with 5.10.29. I am using eLilo, and generated an initrd.gz exactly the same as for the previous kernel which I have installed and working. After elilo, I can see only the following two messages
Code:Loading kernel ... done
Loading initrd.gz ... done... and then it immediately reboots.
1. Currently working kernel is 4.9.45 - I have managed to boot back into it fine - as I kept the kernel and modules for it just in case.
2. This is an Acer B113 laptop with Celeron 1017U
3. I have generated the initrd.gz with the same parameters as for the kernel which is working (I use dm-crypt for root partition):
Code:mkinitrd -c -k 5.10.29 -f ext4 -m uhci-hid:usbhid:hid-generic -r /dev/mapper/lukssda3 -C /dev/sda3 -LI tried to append "noapic" and "nomodeset" - but they don't seem to make any difference. Are there any other parameters I could try to pass to the kernel - to at least get some meaningful error message?
