Stuck at boot after kernel update

After updating earlier today, my system doesn’t boot anymore. Everything seems to work until the message reached target Timer Units, where it seems to be stuck. Here is my log file https://clbin.com/UWCfG

yep, same issue here …
it seems linux 6.0.1.arch1-1 does not support nvidia-470-dkms driver

Another nvidia driver issue? Shocking :roll_eyes:

Is there an easy way to downgrade the kernel on endeavour? I haven’t done it before.

I am not an Nvidia user.
If this is about Nvidia, could the following be relevant?

sudo downgrade linux linux-headers

Alternatively,

sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers

Thank you! That wasn’t it though :pensive:. I’m on 5.19.13.arch-1-1 now and still cannot boot.

I can’t find anything useful about this message. I haven’t updated the drivers so I would assume they are okay.

Have you tried this?

And see if the lts kernel boots?

Yes, it didn’t boot either. I timeshifted back into a working installation now. I’m not sure if it’s really a kernel issue. That’s just what @cluster said.

I’m not entirely sure, it could be caused by a missing package too … a dependency for the nvidia drivers that was removed during the kernel update …

I mean it sound very much plausible. I was just surprised that the downgrade didn’t help if this was the issue. But I did not reinstall the drivers, so if a package was removed, that would explain it! Were you able to solve it on your system?

Unfortunately not, I’m very busy at the moment and can’t examine the package logs more closely today

Binary packages are also available in my kernel-lts unofficial user repository.

there is a repo with them prebuilded…

And it looks like the modules do not get rebuilt properly on 6 and you may want to check if dkms runs fine when downgrading kernel?

Does it build?

dkms status

Are there errors in the system journal?

sudo journalctl -b | grep -iE '(nvidia|nvrm)'

hmm, dkms status on 5.19.13-arch1-1 already shows an error > dkms.conf does not exist

edit

but dkms.conf exist in:
/var/lib/dkms/nvidia/470.141.03/source/dkms.conf
and /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/470.63.01/source shows a broken link for source

5.10.62-1-lts 5.10.63-1-lts 5.13.13-arch1-1 5.13.13-zen1-1-zen source

it seems 470.63.01 is loaded instead of 470.141.03 or a mix of both …

to me looks valid that they do both not work…

for lts it shows an error for dkms… and the main kernel does not look like the module is rebuilt after downgrading the kernel? or do you do that on 4. oct already (joking) ?

And the output do not show any 6.0 kernel modules built…

maybe caused by the timeshift restore?
but the LTS source folder is linked to:
/usr/src/nvidia-470.63.01

The ArchForum thread looks like it needs a patch to built but the patch is somehow removing acpi support or something?

Not sure that this will be the solution…

okay you restored instead of downgrading… but this should work and is more an issue with the backup procedure than the nvidia driver but and kernel?

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-470xx-dkms

is last updated 2022-08-02 18:44 (UTC) and shows

pkgver=470.141.03

so you have the error and the path still in your system but they are old and unused… dkms seems not to clean them of automatically…

OK thanks, everything is up2date right now except the kernel, I think it’s better to wait until an official package is released

I just noticed updating now, there is another kernel update for both kernels (Arch and LTS)
Hopefully it will help.
