Nvidia kernel causes >60 sec boot on xps 9510 since a few weeks

AndreasR · June 7, 2022, 7:07am

Greetings
XPS 9510 laptop here, intel i7 and rtx3050 mobile hybrid running eos
since an update a week or two ago my boot is no longer graphical (lots of diagnostic text scrolls while starting) - then gets stuck for 30 secs on a line that says something about systemd and modules.

after 30 seconds the scren goes blank with only a cursor in the top left corner - this stays for 60 secs.

after this the gdm greeter appears and I can use my system.

reading the logs I find various notifications about systemd unable to start systemd (?) so here goes, maybe I can provide anything useful. I can not identify what module it is that fails to start.

andreas@moya:~$ systemd-analyze blame
1min 30.240s systemd-modules-load.service
       230ms dev-nvme1n1p2.device
       149ms ldconfig.service
       142ms systemd-rfkill.service
       117ms user@1000.service

and

andreas@moya:~$ systemctl list-units --failed
  UNIT                         LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION        
● systemd-modules-load.service loaded failed failed Load Kernel Modules

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
1 loaded units listed.
andreas@moya:~$

but which is it?
I cannot find / identify it. Any help?

removing all things nvidia solves it for now. (mostly using it for video playback and occasional steam so no biggie but hey…)

I used nvidia-installer-dkms in the past and after some reading now using nvidia-inst - but both lead to the same symptoms.

30 sec. wait time during CLI boot
60 sec. nothing happens / seems frozen > then gdm login appears.

I am running “Running nvidia-bug-report.sh…” now but it takes ages, will attach once completed.

thanks

Andreas

welcome at the forum… and sry to see you have such issue.
Also i do not think it is a general issue with nvidia-inst script, and more likely something between Kernel and Nvidia drivers?

First thing to check would be installing LTS kernel in addition to main one to see if it works for the Nvidia Driver.

In addition i would think this machine is an optimus hybrid GPU one? RTX 3050 nvidia + igpu iris intel?

AndreasR · June 7, 2022, 9:40am

indeed it is intel+nvidia hybrid.

I read that nvidia driver these days contains the optimus/prime functions so I did not bother experimenting with optimus or bumblebee . I’d rather have no nvidia accelleration than broken system. This laptop has a second M.2 for windows - that’s where I play games

endeavour is my daily workhorse - I just wonder why it broke all of a sudden (worked for 2 years without a problem using nvidia-dkms)

not trying to complain or fix, just offering help if someone wants to fix this alleged “bug”

also > changed the topic to reflect. thanks!

a boot log could tell a story

I have the same/similar problems on an RTX3070, the best solution is to downgrade back to the previous driver and stick them in IgnorePkg for the time being. Found some stuff on the Arch forum (but am at work ATM).

jonathon · June 7, 2022, 11:52am

Does this add the nvidia modules to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf ?

joekamprad · June 7, 2022, 1:56pm

no, it only adds DRM modestting on grub kernel line.

AndreasR · June 12, 2022, 4:59pm

removed nvidia-*

fuck this proprietary shit

sorry for short temper and lack of patience. if you ever need someone to test stuff on a mobile RTX let me know - for the moment I need a working laptop, sorry - busy week

P.S. appreciate all the effort you put into this. been following your posts back with Antergos, too. <3
