Hey guys!

I always update my system at night before turning off my laptop. Recently I updated and started facing the kernel panic screen on boot. I tried to search more about this, but nothing helped me. Today I just downgraded to an old version of packages and it fix the kernel panic (aparently), and now I’m avoiding updating the system. What is the best way to fix this kernel panic?

Do you really need to use the latest kernel? I know that EOS is a rolling distro but most people can simply use the LTS one.

Probably no. Is there any automatically way to stop update to the latest kernel versions or core packages?

4

The easiest way is to install the LTS one, edit your bootloader to boot with it and keeping the latest kernel in case you need it one day.

I just updated and saw during the update that i got an Error related to “broken pipe”. This has happend before as well (Error message "broken pipe" during system update) This time i just reinstalled kernels before reboot so maybe that saved me. Wonder if that might have happend to you, now causing that issue?

Only by not updating. That’s not how Arch works. It’s up to date all the time and partial updates are not recommended suggested or supported.

If it works on the lts kernel, you should use it (you should be anyways we just had a thread about this). Other than very select reasons, almost everyone benefits by using the lts kernel over latest.

Otherwise your option is to not update until it’s fixed.

I’ve also seen this error 1/2days ago. Rebooting without intervening didn’t cause me any problem (its not a recommendation).

I’m not sure what issue you are talking about here.

There is a newer Bios update for this laptop. Not sure if it would help but is available.

Do you have package xf86-video-intel installed?
If so, uninstall it.

Sorry, the xf86-video-intel package is not installed

13

No need to be sorry, it is a good thing! :wink:
I assume the LTS kernel works for you now.

In case you’ll get new similar issues, it is worth considering the BIOS update that @ricklinux mentioned above.

And welcome aboard! :smile:

14

Thank you and @ricklinux! I updated the BIOS a few minutes ago :grin: And the LTS kernel worked perfectly. Now I’m trying to integrate the fwupd with de yay updates to keep the BIOS updated.

If you want/need to run the “latest and greatest” or “specialized” kernel, It’s always a good idea to have the LTS kernel installed as a fallback in case the other kernel borks on you. In truth, it probably better to just run the LTS kernel unless you have a particular need to run something else.

hey how do i chnge to lts kernal can u explain

17

I guess it still doesn’t work on the current kernel? At the time you were on 6.7.1-arch1-1 It’s updated from that a couple of kernel versions.

18

You can find that in the wiki of EOS, under How to change the default entry to boot
https://discovery.endeavouros.com/installation/systemd-boot/2022/12/

19

Are you referring to BIOS? The ‘fwupd’ never worked, now I enable the fwupd-refresh.timer, I hope that start check the BIOS version.

20

I just install the LTS kernel packages linux-lts and linux-lts-headers, then I create the grub file with sudo grub-mkconfig -o /etc/default/grub. And that’s it, the grub automatically (I guess) list boot options with the kernel version.

21

mine auto takes me to boot when ever i turn on and then it shows me 2 kernels which i have installed to choose from is it by default like that like it says endeavouros with lts kernal and below the same with newer kernal
