  • [gentoo-user] gentoo-sources-5.10.103 - will not boot

    From thelma@sys-concept.com@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 13 20:30:02 2022
    Upgraded to: gentoo-sources-5.10.103
    and kernel will not boot, not even recovery mode.

    I'm getting some strange looping/scrolling message on the screen:

    Kscan: watching read 1 fsk983s....

    I followed standard procedure:

    emerge -avq =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.10.103
    cd /usr/src/
    eselect kernel set 3 (this is: linux -> linux-5.10.103-gentoo)
    cd linux
    cp ../linux-old_kernel/.config .
    mount /boot/

    make oldconfig
    make
    make modules_prepare
    make modules_install
    make install

    grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    reboot

    ( did the same on my other boxes and this kernel is booting OK on other installations)

    Simple human error :-/

    When I did:
    cd linux
    cp ../linux-old_kernel/.config .
    mount /boot/
    make oldconfig

    New entries showed up. Instead of pressing "enter" I made a mistake and press "Y" several times.
    This enabled some feature in the new kernel that shouldn't be there; example: "CONFIG_KCSAN = y"

    Redoing the process just by hitting "enter" soled the problem; new kernel boot as it should.

    Good old contradictory defaults in the kernel config. You press "?" to
    see the description of an option, and it tells you stuff like "say N
    unless you know what you're doing," but the default when pressing enter
    is Y...

    Go figure.

    make olddefconfig will the same as oldconfig while picking the defaults,
    this will save on hitting enter each time.
