Mint boot hang with new CPU
Linux Mint 21.1 Vera
5.15.0-94-generic Upgraded an Inspiron 660 to the max, including an Intel i3550 w/integrated i915 graphics. Now the boot sequence hangs on: Code:
[1.467865] i915 0000.00.02.2 enabling device (0006 --> 0007) Code:
ragnarok@dark-replicant:~$ lspci |
Mint for some reason makes one almighty big initrd with the kitchen sink in it, along with everything else.
I gather from what you're saying that it's beginning to boot, then hanging. I'm taking a punt that the cpu microcode is wrong. Can you clear the initrd tree and make a new initrd? You say nothing at all about your box, but were somehow able to produce an lspci. |
Try blacklisting i915 (module_blacklist=i915 kernel parameter)

Sorry, when I meant hang, it was a minute long wait before it skipped the step then booted anyway.

Often there's this thing for 30 seconds at least of a hang if 127.0.0.1 is not shown as localhost in /etc/hosts. /etc/host.conf has the line
order hosts,bind meaning that /etc/hosts is checked before dns (Buggy Internet Name Daemon) as DJB referred to it. Bind was the old dns server, but I don't know what serrvers use these days. |

The Dell BIOS should have an option to prioritize the PCIe NVidia, thus ignoring the iGPU. Kernel cmdline parameter i915.modeset=0 should neuter the iGPU whether or not a BIOS adjustment helps.
