  • [gentoo-user] X not starting after kernel upgrade

    From thelma@sys-concept.com@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 11 00:00:01 2023
    After upgrading to newest kernel the X will not start.

    Is: make oldconfig same as: make olddefconfig ?

    I don't recall anything about the kernel that has to match the video
    card - it's the video driver for X, but if you're using Nouveau, I
    wouldn't expect a problem. I know the current nVidia driver is often
    not ready for the latest kernel, but I don't think that's your
    problem. Have you recompiled xv86-video-nouveau after installing the
    new kernel? Are there any relevant errors in dmesg?

    I think the problem is with latest kernel linux-6.1.19-gentoo
    I'm using Nvidia dirver; x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-390.157

    and after compiling the driver on this kernel I was getting a message notice: WARN: setup
    Detected potential configuration issues with used kernel:
    CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE: is set, recommended to disable and switch to FB_EFI or
    FB_VESA as it currently may be broken with >=kernel-5.18.13 + NVIDIA:
    https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/341
    (feel free to ignore this if it works for you)

    I downgraded the kerenl to: linux-5.15.102-gentoo
    and X is booting OK.

    message after recompiling Nvida driver:
    WARN: postinst

    Be warned/reminded that the 390.xx branch reached end-of-life and
    NVIDIA is no longer fixing issues (including security). Free to keep
    using (for now) but it is recommended to either switch to nouveau or
    replace hardware. Will be kept in-tree while possible, but expect it
    to be removed likely in early 2027 or earlier if major issues arise.

    No. olddefconfig accepts the default answer for each new configuration
    item, non-interactively. oldconfig is interactive.

    I can't really give you guidance with your original problem though.

    This is an old system and is using:  GeForce GTS 450

    Does the newest kernel: linux-6.1.19-gentoo
    supports my old  GeForce GTS 450 card?

    grep KMS .config
    CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
    CONFIG_DRM=y

    I don't recall anything about the kernel that has to match the video
    card - it's the video driver for X, but if you're using Nouveau, I
    wouldn't expect a problem.  I know the current nVidia driver is
    often not ready for the latest kernel, but I don't think that's your
    problem.  Have you recompiled xv86-video-nouveau after installing
    the new kernel?  Are there any relevant errors in dmesg?


    I think the problem is with latest kernel linux-6.1.19-gentoo
    I'm using Nvidia dirver; x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-390.157

    and after compiling the driver on this kernel I was getting a message notice:
    WARN: setup
    Detected potential configuration issues witDIVIDEND RECEIVEDh used
    kernel:
    CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE: is set, recommended to disable and switch to
    FB_EFI or
    FB_VESA as it currently may be broken with >=kernel-5.18.13 +
    NVIDIA:
    https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/341
    (feel free to ignore this if it works for you)

    I downgraded the kerenl to: linux-5.15.102-gentoo
    and X is booting OK.

    message after recompiling Nvida driver:
    WARN: postinst

    Be warned/reminded that the 390.xx branch reached end-of-life and
    NVIDIA is no longer fixing issues (including security). Free to keep
    using (for now) but it is recommended to either switch to nouveau or
    replace hardware. Will be kept in-tree while possible, but expect it
    to be removed likely in early 2027 or earlier if major issues arise.

    It looks like the 390 driver has been masked in portage, although not
    yet removed. Have you read the message in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask? As the message suggests, you may
    be better off switching to actually using nouveau. It also implies
    that 6.1.X LTS kernels "should" still work. Note that the X log you
    posted doesn't even show it trying to load the nvidia driver - have you
    tried again after recompiling it for the new kernel? That message was
    a warning, not an error, so it should have compiled successfully - did
    it?

    Good suggestion, I switched to nouveau and was as able to upgrade to newest kernel-6.1.19 as well.
    besides, nvidia-390 is on the end of line as it might be removed from portage one day.
