The Latest Kernel Release.

I wonder if you're suffering the same issue possibly solved in this other LQ Thread: kernel 6.1.1 and NVIDIA driver ?

Hi,

Kernel 6.1.4 Slackware, does not boot here ... Even the huge one
FYI, the one I compiled myself is ok

Code:

blackstar :: ~ » uname -msrp
Linux 6.1.4-1 x86_64 AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics

I've attached the message from /var/log/syslog

I reinstalled the 5.19.17 from cumulative repo, it works fine

At this time, I have no idea what is causing this problem.

I just upgraded -current and the kernel about an hour ago.
all is well

That's odd. 6.1.4 is working here using ELILO.

Code:

bash-5.2$ uname -msrp
Linux 6.1.4 x86_64 AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics

It would appear to me, as an "end user," there is a lot of unnecessary work being done by some board members.

I try and keep it simple, with one exception, as I use f2fS for the system and /home partitions.
I have a small, 200mg, /boot partition formatted with ext4 as LILO cannot boot a f2fs partition.
When they become available I download the new kernel files for -current (or roll my own).
Once the kernel (huge), headers, modules and source are installed, lilo.conf is edited accordingly and lilo is ran.
Before rebooting, the Nvidia driver is uninstalled. Once rebooted with the new kernel the Nvidia driver is installed, e.g., sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.161.03.run
Then it is time to log out as root and log back in as user and run, startx.
Always works.
Of course, if you are trying to install a driver that hasn't been updated for the newest kernel, you will have problems (of your own creation).
But what do I know, I'm just a "end user".

To try to narrow down the issue: echo "blacklist ipv6" > /etc/modprobe.d/ipv6.conf then reboot with the problematic kernel.

I finally solved the issue
Because I use to compile kernels *not provided* by Slackware (6.1.4 vs. 5.19.17) without the suffix "-1".
Usually, I always have a superior version
Before I upgraded to 6.1.4 provided by Slackware, I recompiled my own kernel with the suffix, 6.1.4-1
It was a collision between my previous modules, compiled with compression (*.ko.zst) and the new ones (*.ko) for some of them, that I noticed when generating the initrd.gz
After rm -rf /lib/modules/6.1.4 and reinstalling kernel-modules
All works fine now

For what it's worth, I am running a kernel 6.1.4. The attached scripts builds two packages: "kernel" bundles the kernel, the modules and the sanitized header and "kernel-source".
The kernel package, despite its content, is not heavy[1]:

Code:

PACKAGE NAME:     kernel-6.1.4-x86_64-1slint
COMPRESSED PACKAGE SIZE:     91M
UNCOMPRESSED PACKAGE SIZE:     108M

[1]Compared with the added sizes of kernel + kernel-modules + kernel-headers packages.

Didier, your attached script is the slack-desc ;-)

6.2-rc3
Release Candidate 3, for the 6.2 "mainline" development kernel has been been made available for testing.

The tarball, https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux...6.2-rc3.tar.gz

Mr. Torvalds' announcement, https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/...1.1/00204.html

oops :-)

Cwiz' is still fast
I thought you were making coffee

cwizardone · 01-08-2023, 04:36 PM

FWIW: Built and installed the 6.2-rc3 kernel and so far, so good with the nouveau driver. Even VirtualBox-7.0.4-154605-Linux_amd64.run works as it should.

The kernel 6.1.4 has a bug when mounting samba share v1.0.

This will probably be fixed in future release
