|
Hi, I am asking for help again .
I'm trying to boot with encrypted root. The vfat parition (/boot) is not encrypted and I have grub as boot loader.
The grub window appears, then the console hangs during startup. They are basically two consoles that overlap.
First console:
Code: | EFI stub: Loaded initrd from LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path
EFI stub: Measured initrd data into PCR 9 |
Second console:
Code: | Loading Linux 6.10.14-gentoo ...
Loading initial ramdisk ... |
This is where it freezes.
Hardware: ThinkPad E14 Ultra 7 155H
Kernel: I first tried 6.6.52, same problem, currently 6.10.14 because in 6.6 the Intel graphics in this processor were probably not stable yet. My live usb is arch 6.10.10.
lspci -nnk output: https://bpa.st/5NVWE
I know there have been a lot of threads on this topic and the problem is often the lack of a framebuffer option in the kernel, which is why the console does not display everything.
Code: | Device Drivers / Graphics support / Console display driver support
[*] Framebuffer Console support |
Code: | Device Drivers / Graphics support / Frame buffer Devices
(other options are not active here)
<*> Support for frame buffer device drivers[
[*] VESA...
[*] EFI
<*> Simple framebuffer support
[*] Provide legacy /dev/fb* device |
I'm not sure about the last one " Provide legacy /dev/fb* device". Should it be deactivated? Or maybe the problem is somewhere else?
UPDATE: Same behavior after changing Provide legacy /dev/fb* device to [] (disabled).
UPDATE2: Could this be related to the microcode? https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8830499.html#8830499
From what I read, grub loads intel-uc.img automatically. But is there also dracut that also does this automatically using the initramfs that I generated with it? I don't know myself... |
