Thanks again for the hint. I don't tinker with the kernel congfis much but I'll take a peek. Hopefully thats enough for Pat to narrow in on a fix.

Oh, I found it. I guess I enabled the "*big* hammer" (emphasis from upstream) that nobody else turned on. Oops.

Linux 6.9 not run on my machine.

I can do , other test , i have 15.0 with old gcc 11 if im not remember bad.

I can test build 6.9 on slackware 15.0 and see , but i imagine if is a bug ..the compiler is not relevant.

Consistent with my latest results. I built 6.9.0 with gcc 13.2 and got the same crashes and "Illegal instruction" messages. Therefore gcc14 might not be the culprit, but maybe the kernel 6.9 is.

Is this where I sheepishly admit to having "mitigations=off" as well?

0XBF · 05-15-2024, 03:13 PM

In the kernel-config kernel-generic-6.9.0.x64 this was set:

Code:

CONFIG_MITIGATION_GDS_FORCE=y

I toggled that to 'n' and rebuilt the generic kernel again and that also is working properly. Looks like that option was unset prior to 6.9.0. I am not sure on the ramifications of disabling that option, but that's all it took to fix the problems I was seeing.

I ask because after 2.5hrs it's still not done building here in this Intel DualCore machine

I am happy to report that after adding 'mitigations=off' to the kernel command line, everything now seems to work normally, with both kernel 6.9.0 and gcc 14. Thanks everyoone for their help.

I think a rebuild of 6.9.0 with that parameter set in the config would be good.

At least you have two cores. Do you build your kernel with "make", "make -j 2" or "make -j 3"?
If your /tmp is on a different disk than the sources and object files you might even benefit from "make -j 4".

This is the first time ever building a kernel on the DualCore machine.

Out of force of habit building programs on the i7 which has hyperthreading enabled, I automatically typed...

time make -j 8

This DualCore is of-course much, slower than is the i7 to begin with
plus it has 8GB of RAM vs 32GB on the i7
and its HDD is very old 500GB with /tmp on the same drive as is the SRC

But still, now over 3hrs and the build is not done.

No use stopping without completing the experiment by installing and booting to this fresh build.

I've got an i7 8 core/16 threads/16GB RAM machine doing the building, then transfer them off to the laptop to test. I didn't time them but the generic kernel is somewhere between 10-20 minutes, the modules take around 45 minutes. I dont build all the kernels, just generic+modules. Also a rebuild of the generic kernel goes faster than a first build on a clean environment.

I'm just using Pat's slackbuilds, which run at "nproc + 1" threads, so that would be -j 17.

BDFL will probably have a beast of a build machine.

glennmcc · 05-15-2024, 05:35 PM

Next phase of experiment was to try the 6.8.9 kernel built on the i7 machine
fully upgraded (except for the kernel), slackare64-current

Exactly the same process started using...

cp /boot/config-generic-6.6.30.x64 /usr/src/linux-6.8.9/.config

cd /usr/src/linux-6.8.9

make menuconfig

Hit 'save' and 'exit' without making any changes.
