 Posted: Wed Apr 10, 2024 2:22 pm Post subject: [solved] Gentoo sources 6.7.0 move to 6.8.4 kernel panic |
 |
|
Hello all,
I'm getting kernel panics with gentoo sources 6.8.4 after using the config from my running 6.7.0 kernel as the foundation for the new kernels I've tried and fail.
I have gone through the handbook for AMD64 kernel configuration again to verify all those concerns seem to be met (as I would have assumed given I copied my working config).
Anyone aware of any pitfalls or "gotchas" with this move? I've tinkered with it for a few hours here and there over a few days and I have not found anything in searching through menuconfig or Google search results.
I considered pasting my two configs but that seems a bit like spam at this point.
Thanks for your time and thoughts!
Regards,
BonezTheGoon

| Is this a panic at boot, or a panic after the system is up and in use? Regardless, seeing the panic text might be helpful. |

It is a panic during boot, before attempting to mount file systems.
Yes I used both "make oldconfig" and "make olddefconfig" during various attempts to remedy this.

When I try to post the output of dmesg I get "Error posting" from the forums. I suspect it is over some character count.

You can use app-text/wgetpaste instead. |

I was wrong, clearly it mentions btrfs on the screen. I will attempt to post a picture of the panic here.

# wgetpaste /usr/src/linux-6.7.0-gentoo/.config
Apparently nothing was received. Perhaps the connection failed. Enable --verbose or
--debug to get the output from wget that can help diagnose it correctly.
# cat /usr/src/linux-6.7.0-gentoo/.config | wgetpaste

This is the first option I would disable. Help says:
| Code: | CONFIG_EDD: │
│ │
│ Say Y or M here if you want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive │
│ Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk │
│ BIOS tries boot from. This information is then exported via sysfs. │
│ │
│ This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some │
│ obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do │
│ not yet implement this feature. |

OK, removing the EDD. I am pretty sure I added that during one of my iterations of "random" changes.
I will post results in a bit.
Thanks all for your time and consideration!
Is the picture of the actual panic I posted visible to you folks?

No visible change in behavior with removing the EDD.
It does occur to me that my environment has changed a lot since I compiled the 6.7.0 kernel back on January 17th 2024. Maybe what is causing the panic has nothing to do with the kernel config itself.
Well I mostly wanted to see if there were known challenges with this move, and it doesn't seem like anyone is aware of any.
I will continue to tinker with this and if I ever figure anything out I will do my best to share.

What happens if you disable CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_RUN_SANITY_TESTS ?
Help says:
| Code: | │ This will run some basic sanity tests on the free space cache │
│ code to make sure it is acting as it should. These are mostly │
│ regression tests and are only really interesting to btrfs │
│ developers. │
│ │
│ If unsure, say N. |

Thanks so much!!
