 Posted: Sun Oct 27, 2019 7:24 pm Post subject: [solved] initramfs on lvm fails, no output |
 |
|
when using grub the initramfs portion of the boot is failing to a blank screen with no output, i'm using lvm. I've been doing a fresh install from a minimal usb installer.
Its super frustrating because I can't seem to find any output to explain whats going on, everything before this wen't smoothly during the install but this lvm initramfs issue is making me want to pull my hair out. I can't seem to trouble-shoot it following any of the handbooks on the wiki or from pervious forum posts as examples.

Ok, mine is similar. Try adding | Code: | | genkernel --lvm --install --all-ramdisk-modules --firmware initramfs |
maybe that helps, I used it to be safe in my first install...
Did you check DiskEnryptionGuide, Sakaki's Guide? Just ignore the encryption stuff and look at the grub/initramfs/lvm stuff...

I'm not saying it won't work but I have never seen /dev/lvm/whatever - why not /dev/mapper/whatever?
And how did you end up with the last line (sw)? |

Nice I'll try genkernel with the additional options you've listed.
Yeah I read Sakaki's Guide it but it didn't really seem to add very much to the lvm portion and dealt with encryption more, I didn't want to start following a route away from the handbook just encase it added more problems than it fixed.

Yeah - on arch it anyways it works - "lvm" is just the volume group for lvm2 that the lv are in. I chose to use it since the handbook really didn't suggest to use mapper but I'll switch it to mapper.
P.S. the sw was just me typing it manually here and forgetting to correct it.

Desulate,
What do you have in /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
Your fstab looks a bit odd but your system will come up anyway as everything needed is on root.
root is given in grub.cfg. root=... It will probably be root=UUID=...
Blank screens suggest that you don't have a console driver that can be used in the kernel.
Make friends with wgetpaste and pastebin your entire kernel .conf file.

I understand  I spent quite a lot of time on my first install to merge the handbook with the two guides (and several others) into my own guide...
But there is a lot of useful stuff in both, especially in the DiskEncryptionGuide - even if you don't use encryption... |

try adding "mount" to grub's package.use
try installing grub with: grub-install --modules="linux search_fs_uuid lvm" --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot
I don't have efi can't tell for sure what you need there in this regard. |

Looks mostly like I would have expected it. But lines 66-70 look a bit weird to me: | Code: | set root='lvmid/kcrEdc-ebmh-WBDC-49ot-iOgu-bned-CnR9yD/wpd2KU-xtP9-VQ9g-CgjL-252a-eUk7-QdgAzC'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint='lvmid/kcrEdc-ebmh-WBDC-49ot-iOgu-bned-CnR9yD/wpd2KU-xtP9-VQ9g-CgjL-252a-eUk7-QdgAzC' 0818b6d9-5337-41f3-a393-537697c3e1c4
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 0818b6d9-5337-41f3-a393-537697c3e1c4 |

That's probably not necessary since BIOS/UEFI already found/started grub. |

I think it should be ok, I don't use lvm, only luks containers on top of the drives, mine looks like this
| Code: |

search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint='cryptouuid/ed0244cac977472ea91795ccb6625b3a' 13551e62-7ad3-4089-be25-77073dcdda75

the important part is here, and it also looks fine, except maybe two dashes before the root? possible typo?
| Code: | echo 'Loading Linux 4.19.72-gentoo ...'
linux /vmlinuz-4.19.72-gentoo root=/dev/mapper/lvm-lv--root ro dolvm rootfstype=ext4 |

hey etnull, the "lv--root" is just the lv-root logical volume, I don't know why lvm2 adds the extra dash but it should be fine. It's similar to naming scheme I used on arch and which also had the extra dash. under arch it was "lvm-root" aka "lvm--root" and it still worked.

kernel output? even before decompressed?
Did you mean during when grub launching the initramfs?
The grub screen shows as normal until you pick of one the options, at which point it go's blank. No messages of any kind inducing the compressed kernel. |

Desulate,
This not a fix, its aimed at getting some diagnostic information.
Rebuild your kernel but enable
| Code: | # CONFIG_FB_VESA is not set
# CONFIG_FB_EFI is not set
# CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE is not set |
At present, you don't have any console until amdgpudrmfb starts and a lot happens before then.
Including loading the amdgpu firmware.
Turn on | Code: | | # CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME is not set |
It adds times to your dmesg log.
That's useful for debugging.

Desulate,
The first console message is "Decompressing Linux..."
-- edit --
It comes from arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c: debug_putstr("\nDecompressing Linux... ");

Hey Neddy,
I did as you asked, I am now receiving output before it fails. Is it being logged somewhere? Its passing too quickly currently on bootup to review. |

Desulate,
It can only be logged if the boot gets as far as mounting root read/write.
Until that point, log messages are saved in RAM.
What does "fails" mean now?
The screen goes blank, there is a panic message ... ?
A screen photo or video may help.
Something else - daignostic only. Rebuild the kernel with | Code: | | CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU=y |
off.
You will hate me for that, but we can check out the console as far as logging in.
If you get that far, it confirms its something video related
Of course, we have to fix it still or you will have a Ferrari that you can only drive to the corner shop :)

Its the same as before minus about approximatly 25 lines that just flash by, then it just fades black with no message. The computer keeps quietly running nothing lol.

Desulate,
Lots of systems work well with no console.
Do you have a second system you can use to connect to this one using ssh?
Rebuild the kernel without amdgpu support. Log in at the console and set up sshd.
We want to make sure that there is only one problem when we poke at amdgpu.
Further, if it works without amdgpu thats a pretty good pointer to where the problem is.

You will hate me for that, but we can check out the console as far as logging in.
If you get that far, it confirms its something video related |
I'm not sure if its the amdgpu but after disabling it I finally got some output!! lol

it just keeps cycling through those warnings at the end. |

Found this arch post based off that I tried Custom_Initramfs wiki using the vgscan option.
The warnings are gone but now it is showing this:
| Code: | !!Block device /dev/mapper/lvm-lv--root is not a valid root device...
!!could not find the root block device in .

Still not solved, I will post a solution if I find one. Later I will try disabling lvmetad like in that arch post.... Then if that fails I might scrap it all and partition the lvm logical volumes to not have any dashes in their name if no one else has any better ideas.....
I'm still not clear on what is exactly going wrong at this point. If I don't answer again tonight I will be back tomorrow morning so please post stuff for me to try or review.
is it the?
- grub = no its an issue with the contents its working with
- amdgpu = no was just making my output disappear
- initramfs = no in general works(?) but the devices are not being found
- device-mapper issue = well its not listing the devices missing with the static flag compiled in lvm2 and added to the initramfs
- lvm-lv--root = not a root partition somehow???

Desulate,
I though you might have some of that. :)
That's why I wanted to get you to log in before fixing amdgpu.
| Code: | !!Block device /dev/mapper/lvm-lv--root is not a valid root device...
!!could not find the root block device in . |
The hint here is the empty device list just before the period. The kernel cannot see any of your block devices.
There is a list ot all the block devices the kernel can see.
You have a choice of four controllers for your root filesystem.
| Code: | Non-Volatile memory controller [0108]: Samsung electronics co Ltd NVMe SSD Controller SM961/PM961 [144d:a804]
SATA controller [0106]: Advanced Micro Devices, inc. [AMD] x370 Series Chipset SATA Controller [1022:43b5] (rev 02)
SATA controller [0106]: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1062 Serial ATA controller [1b21:0612 (rev 02)
SATA controller [0106]: Advanced Micro Devices, inc. [AMD] FCH SATA Controller [AHIC mode] [1022:7901] (Rev 51) |
From your other posts, it looks like its on NVME.
Your kernel looks OK but ... this post has a kernel patch to stop your NVMe controller from using the deepest steep state.
That patch in not in the 5.2.3 kernel. As its stands, that code only does anything on a Dell Precision 7510.
If your drive was stuck in a sleep state, that would be a problem.
My 5.2.3 kernel contains
| Code: | } else if (pdev->vendor == 0x144d && pdev->device == 0xa804) {
/*
* Samsung SSD 960 EVO drops off the PCIe bus after system
* suspend on a Ryzen board, ASUS PRIME B350M-A, as well as
* within few minutes after bootup on a Coffee Lake board -
* ASUS PRIME Z370-A
*/
if (dmi_match(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.") &&
(dmi_match(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "PRIME B350M-A") ||
dmi_match(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "PRIME Z370-A")))
return NVME_QUIRK_NO_APST;
}
|
That first line matches your NVMe controller, then there is a list of known broken board names. If you have one of those, then NVME_QUIRK_NO_APST is applied.
Two questions.
Do you have one of those boards?
Is that code in your 4.19 kernel?
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
grep -A16 -B4 "== 0x144d" drivers/nvme/host/pci.c |
If you answer yes to the first question and no to the second question, upgrade to the testing kernel.
What block devices do you have installed. No optical drives?
The should have appeared in that boot quote above.
