Updating the machine's kernel from v5.19.x to v6.0.x causes the machine to not successfully boot. The machine boots successfully (and exhibits stable operation) with version v5.19.17 and multiple earlier releases in the 5.19 line. Multiple releases from the 6.0 line (including 6.0.0, 6.0.3, and 6.0.5), with no other changes to the software environment, do not boot. Instead, the machine hangs after loading services but before presenting a display manager; the machine instead shows repetitive hard drive activity at this point and then no apparent activity.
''uname'' output for the machine successfully running v5.19.17 is:
Linux [MACHINE_NAME] 5.19.17 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Oct 24 13:32:29 2022 i686 Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/LinuxThe machine is an OCZ Neutrino netbook, running a custom OS build largely similar to LFS development. The kernel update uses ''make olddefconfig''.
Can you use 'git bisect' to find the offending change that causes this to happen?
Bisection is complete. Here's what it returned.
3a194f3f8ad01bce00bd7174aaba1563bcc827eb is the first bad commit
Many thx for this. A fix for that particular commit for recently committed to 6.0.y: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=l...
That thus bears the question: does your problem still happen with the latest 6.0.y version?
I'll test; it looks like 6.0.9 is the current stable release so I'll give that a try.
