That's a pretty huge change. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the first thing for 16.0-current.

No problems so far. I only tried Scrivener (via WINE), and that worked, so I'm not sure what was going on with the WINE problems encountered earlier with the 6.6 kernels.

Code:

bash-5.2$ uname -sr
Linux 6.6.6

The devil's kernel is working fine so far for me.

Ditto. Not a cough, sneeze or hiccup.

Maybe someone can help me with this kernel-6.6.6 issue:
After upgrade to Kernel-6.6.6, system boot locks up at rc.udev line /sbin/udevadm trigger --type=devices --action=add [just before the last 'else' in the case start) section.]

Locks up as in the screen goes blank and keystrokes are not shown on the screen.

If Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed within a few seconds of the screen going blank, then the laptop can be rebooted.
Running the udevadm command above at the CLI also locks the system up.
Commenting the udevadm line out in rc.udev will allow the system to boot to console, but running startx will end up locking at the xfce4 desktop with a different background, likely due to missing modules.
This system ran with the previous 6.1.66 kernel without incident.
Previously, mkinitrd_command_generator.sh was used to build the mkinitrd command so that a usb keyboard could be used at the LUKS passphrase prompt.
Booting with and without initrd.gz, using either huge or generic, locks up at the same point.

System: Kernel 6.6.6, lilo(no EFI), Acer 5750-6421, 16GB ram (per dmidecode/bios), 2TB crucial ssd, LVM/LUKS.
This is a relatively fresh install (< two months) from a 15.1 iso CD.
Thanks for any help

Has anyone else installed the 6.6.6 (or 6.6.7) kernel on a LVM/LUKS system with success?

rogan · 12-16-2023, 05:12 PM

Don't know if it is of any help, but I'm running a custom 6.6.7 using lvm, on Slack 15.0.
This might point to udev changes on current ?

Yes. Why do you ask?

Code:

Slackware 15.0

Edit: I read that as "LVM and/or LUKS" but I think you meant "LUKS on top of LVM". In that case, no. I don't use LVM. Only LUKS.

Yes, LVM over LUKS working fine here.
I would post my /proc/version and lsblk but cloudflare won't let me.
This is the third time i try to post this comment. Fsck cloudflare.

Text filenames should have a .txt extension for upload to be accepted. Maybe s....d but that's how it is.
