linux5.15: boot process _seems_ stuck at "loading initramfs ..." #34035

Note that we have the modules mentioned in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72645 already... |
Indeed. |
The thread suggests you need to add your fb drivers to the initrd. Please post which hardware you use. |
@dkwo try https://vuxu.org/~leah/tmp/linux5.15-5.15.1_1.x86_64.xbps which is built with CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB=n, else same config. |
I might be experiencing the same problem (booting 5.15.1 hangs at "loading initial ramdisk"). I'm running on an intel cpu with the proprietary microcode from the |
Feel free to try the kernel package linked above to check if it's SIMPLEFB. Alternatively, try adding |
@leahneukirchen Could you build the
My hardware is a thinkpad T460s, with intel cpu and integrated graphics. |
I think you can install it on musl just as well, or just extract ./boot/vmlinuz-5.15.1_1 For intel you need |
Thank you, adding the
So let me try extract it, just for the sake of science. :) |
If I just extract and move to boot the file |
The kernel certainly doesn't care which libc you use. ;) But ok, we have a workaround now for intel, but not yet confirmed for Nvidia nor AMD. I still think a plain old kernel should just display anything, so maybe reverting SYSFB_SIMPLEFB is the better way. Opinions? |
Requiring video modules to be in the initramfs will for sure break some people using ZFSBootMenu. In particular, some cards don't soft-reinit after a new kernel has been launched via kexec. We are forced to blacklist I'd like to see the same behavior as all previous kernels retained, as that does seem to be a safer default. |
My i686 box with nvidia390 and 5.15.2 is also stuck. Rebuilding the kernel with No problems with |
With 5.15, my boot process seems stuck at "loading initramfs ...", although if I input the encryption password, then it proceeds as usual.
By reading https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2001959 , I wonder whether this is caused by
SYSFB_SIMPLEFB
