Unable To Boot With New Kernel

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware
1

A few days ago I updated my kernels and a few other packages.

When I rebooted into the non LTS kernel (6.9.1.arch1-1) I was met with this screen and my system does not load the OS.

I was able to boot into the LTS kernel and downgraded packages to diagnose what could have caused this booting issue. I ended up learning the packages linux 6.9.1.arch1-1 and linux-headers 6.9.1.arch1-1 might be the cause of my issue.
I’m unsure what other information I can provide that could help resolve this.

I have stayed on the 6.8.9-arch1-2 kernel for the time being.

Perhaps try a reinstall of the problem kernel, which should also initiate some other rebuilds. If the standard kernel is the issue, for example:

sudo pacman -S linux

3

I have installed and reinstalled both packages, but I’m still running into the same issue.

The pacman log for installing and the re-installation are similar and is as follows:

There are more errors than what I’ve seen in the past when upgrading to a new kernel and I’m not familiar with what the errors mean.
Specifically the ones stating
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.9.1-arch1-1 (x86_64)
WARNING: errors were encountered during the build. The image may not be complete.

Well that explains why that kernel isn’t booting, but I’ll need to hand over to others to comment on what to do about it.

Making sure you’re up-to-date is important though I think, in case it’s been resolved. Something like:
eos-update --yay --nvidia

5

how did you install your nvidia drivers? the module is failing to build with the newer kernel.

6

have you checked the boot in journal log ?
what about

sudo journalctl -b -1 ( or -2 , etc with 6.9.1 ? )

can you provide

inxi -Fza
7

If I remember correctly, I have the nvidia-dkms drivers from the Arch repo.
Are you referring to the modules nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm that say they cannot be found? I remember setting those for a GPU pass-through some time ago.

8

I’m not sure what I’d be looking for when going through journalctl.

you will have to update your motherboard UEFI later

you are using two video card with differents drivers

Device-1: NVIDIA GA104 [GeForce RTX 3070 Lite Hash Rate] vendor: eVga.com.
    driver: nvidia v: 550.78 

Device-2: NVIDIA GM204 [GeForce GTX 970] vendor: eVga.com.
    driver: vfio-pci v: N/A alternate: nouveau,nvidia_drm,nvidia
    non-free: 545.xx+

it should be 550.78 for both video

10

I will update my motherboard UEFI and report back about results as soon as I can.

As for the GPUs using different drivers, the GeForce GTX 970 is set up as a PCI passthrough GPU.

11

You could try command

sudo pacman -Syu linux linux-headers

If that still fails, the make.log file of Nvidia should tell the reason.

Post the outputs here if needed.

12

I’ve been having a lot of issues with usb devices not being recognized and shutdown issues with 6.9.x. I’ve decided to stick to the LTS until 6.10.x comes out

13

I see that there is a newer kernel available 6.9.1.arch1-2.
I’ll try installing that and see if I run into any issues.
Where can I find the make.log file for nvidia?

Edit: I’ve found where the file is.

14

I tried installing the 6.9.1.arch1-2 kernel and it there are errors that ask me to check the make.log files for nvidia and v4l2loopback.

The nvidia make.log is as follows.

The make.log for v4l2loopback is as follows.

Fri 24 May 2024 04:41:40 PM MDT

++++++ To sign the  module, you must set KBUILD_SIGN_KEY/KBUILD_SIGN_CERT to point to the signing key/certificate!
++++++ For your convenience, we try to read these variables as 'mok_signing_key' resp. 'mok_certificate' from /etc/dkms/framework.conf

++++++ If your certificate requires a password, pass it via the KBUILD_SIGN_PIN env-var!
++++++ E.g. using 'export KBUILD_SIGN_PIN; read -s -p "Passphrase for signing key : " KBUILD_SIGN_PIN; sudo --preserve-env=KBUILD_SIGN_PIN make sign'

How did you install/get gcc conda-forge?

Any “special” apps on your system from the AUR?

What are the outputs of:

pacman -Qm

and

pacman -Q | grep -i gcc

Should be this as on mine. :thinking:

Hmm. These packages don’t seem to have anything “special” that would cause issues.
But, then what is that message referring to… Strange… :thinking:

Have you built any packages using Git or some other similar tool?

What do these show?

cat /etc/pacman.conf
pacman -Q | grep -i linux

cat /etc/pacman.conf gives me:

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel    = Required DatabaseOptional

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local

# packagers with `pacman-key --populate archlinux`.

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

Nothing except for this

Did you previously have another repo in your pacman.conf?

It could be that a package from a removed repo is causing issues.
