Description nikos papadopoulos 2014-08-08 18:05:05 CEST

Description of problem:
After upgrating Mageia 4 kernel, the system becomes unbootable.
I have to use the older kernel
 desktop586 3.12.8-2.mga4


The problem occurs with the following kernels:
 desktop586 3.12.20-1.mga4
 desktop586 3.12.21-2.mga4
 desktop586 3.12.25-3.mga4
 desktop586 3.12.26-1.mga4


If I start the computer normally, it shows the Mageia background, with the logo and the pot... and there it freezes... no bubbles...
Then I have to switch it off with the power button.


If I start the computer is "failsafe" mode,
some text appears, until...

 [blah blah] blah blah
 ... ... ...

Comment 2 nikos papadopoulos 2014-09-02 13:32:55 CEST

The same with...
 desktop586 3.14.17-1.mga4

and...
 Mageia 5, Alpha 2, Gnome Live DVD, i586

Summary: kernels " desktop586 3.12.2x-x.mga4 " freeze at start up => kernels " desktop586 3.12.2x-x.mga4 ", and newer, freeze at start up

Comment 3 nikos papadopoulos 2014-09-03 21:56:47 CEST

The Mageia 5, Alpha 2, KDE Live DVD, 64 bit, worked... surprisingly...

It has the 
 kernel-desktop-3.15.6-1.mga5 x86_64 

So this bug is still valid...

Comment 4 nikos papadopoulos 2014-09-04 23:23:53 CEST

The Mageia 4.1 32bit DVD, 
when you try to make an install, or rescue the system,
stops in ...
 "Detecting USB devices"

But it doesn't freeze.
You can go back to the menu.
You just can't go forward and use the DVD.

Comment 5 nikos papadopoulos 2014-09-05 15:27:08 CEST

Also, not working...
 desktop586-3.14.17-2.mga4
 desktop586-3.14.17-3.mga4
 desktop-3.14.17-3.mga4

Comment 7 nikos papadopoulos 2014-11-14 15:37:08 CET

"starting version 217"

Comment 8 nikos papadopoulos 2014-11-14 15:52:46 CET

 kernel-desktop-3.14.19-1.mga4

not working

Comment 9 nikos papadopoulos 2014-11-14 16:01:45 CET

Also, not working,
with Mageia 5 beta 1, 32 bit, KDE, Live DVD,
after going to the initial menu,
and choosing to "run" the Live Mageia...

if you go with the graphical mode you get a frozen screen,
as mentioned in an earlier post,

if you manage to press "Esc",
before you go to the the wallpaper,
you get only one message:
 "starting version 217"
(and, of course, it freezes)

Comment 10 nikos papadopoulos 2014-11-14 16:03:59 CET

forgot to mention,
that the Live beta 1, has the kernel...

 kernel-desktop586-3.17.2-3.mga5

Comment 11 nikos papadopoulos 2014-11-15 11:42:37 CET

And installation of Mageia 5, beta 1, is not working either.
The system freezes, as described above.

Comment 12 nikos papadopoulos 2014-11-30 19:21:29 CET

Not working, also, with the latest kernels...
   kernel-desktop-3.14.23-1
   kernel-desktop-3.14.24-1

failsafe

With...
   kernel-desktop-3.14.24-1
when you boot in failsafe mode,
some text appears, and then the system freezes.

These are the last messages.

Comment 14 nikos papadopoulos 2015-01-22 00:00:08 CET

The computer will not boot with 
   kernel-desktop-3.14.27-1


Also,
it will not boot with
   Mageia 5, beta2, 32bit, LiveCD, Gnome

Comment 15 nikos papadopoulos 2015-02-17 08:32:33 CET

And it will not boot with
   Mageia 5, beta3, 32bit, LiveCD, KDE

Comment 16 nikos papadopoulos 2015-06-25 20:40:45 CEST

To this day no newer 32 bit kernels worked.
In Mageia 4, and in Mageia 5.

I switched to Mageia 5, 64bit, which works, for this computer.

Comment 17 nikos papadopoulos 2015-06-25 20:44:10 CEST

Here I am gonna do some guessing, based on.. nothing.

It seems to me that either some hardware module is malfunctioning...

or that the partitions/disks names get mixed.

Comment 18 Marja Van Waes 2016-08-26 12:48:51 CEST

Mass-reassigning all bugs with "kernel" in the summary that are still assigned to tmb (or wrongly assigned to someone with "tmb" in his e-mail address) to the kernel packagers group, but without adding "kernel" to the SRPM field.

Please reassign if needed, or add kernel to the SRPM field if this is correct.
