 Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2018 6:29 pm Post subject: UEFI Boot stuck at "Loading Linux 4.14.xx" |
 |
|
Hi,
I am currently facing the problem that my system is stuck at "Loading Linux" without any error message. So Grub2 is loading fine but the Kernel decompression won't even start. Grub.cfg looks fine to me. So it seems that there is an access problem to the Kernel itself. I did all according to the manual but no avail. Also made a backup, recreated all the paritions including the ESP which is vFAT formatted, etc.
Disk Layout:

Board is a ASUS C246 WS with Intel Xeon 2126G CPU with integrated Graphics.
Do you guys have a clue what I did wrong? Thanks in advance!

chrisk2305,
I'll nit pick a bit before I offer help.
The | Code: | | Loading Linux 4.19.7-gentoo ... |
is displayed by grub just before it actually loads the kernel.
You cannot infer from the last message displayed by grub that nothing else is happening.
I suspect that you don't have a console driver configured in your kernel, or not one that the kernel can use, so lots is happening but you can't see it.
Indeed everything might be working normally, except the console.
If you have sshd configured and runnnig, can you log in over ssh from another system?
| Code: | | root=/dev/nvme0n1p4 |
That's interesting. I suspect that the NVME support is off in your kernel too.
So you have no working console, and the kernel panics when it tries to mount root.
We had one like this the other day :)
Please post the output of so we can see your hardware and put your kernel .config onto a pastebin site.
The .config is far too big to fit into a post.

Thanks for the fast reply. This is a system that was perfectly fine on the previous hardware (Supermicro C236 Board) and has survived over the last 10 years 
SSH is not working.
NVMe support is enabled. Here is the config file:

Note that I also tried this on another Board and therefore the lspci is from an ASUS Board and not Supermicro.
Edit: I changed UEFI boot to legacy because I was troubleshooting a different issue at that time and now I wanted to switch back to UEFI. Did everything according to latest manual. |

chrisk2305,
Pleas add | Code: | # CONFIG_FB_EFI is not set
# CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_I915 is not set |
to your kernel.
They should all produce a framebuffer console on your hardware. The kernel will pick the one it likes best.
Your lspci shows
| Code: | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:3e96]
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:8782]
Kernel modules: i915 |
I'm not sure if i915 needs firmware with your system or not.
dmesg will tell you all about it though.
Is this kernel running in a VMWare guest?
It has the VMWare DRM options on.
This won't fix it but it should get some more diagnostics.

Hey Neddy,
Thanks for your support. After enabling the i915 options you mentioned this indeed helped me a lot. System booted just fine on the ASUS Board with iGFX.
On the Supermicro Board boot process was again stuck after less than a second. I then tried to disable modesetting in Grub and then the System could boot.
I am just wondering if this is a BIOS issue with Supermicro or something I can troubleshoot myself. Strangely on the ASUS Board modesetting works just fine and I have the shell in native resolution (both Intel C246 chipset with new Xeon 2126G).
Kernel is running on physical machine, no VMware - that may be just some leftovers from the past. |

chrisk2305,
You may get some hints from dmesg.
Also the system may boot without a console when you don't pass nomodeset but you won't be able to tell unless you enable sshd and log in remotely.
That would be a dmesg worth having.
