Description Zombie Ryushu 2019-12-15 00:42:52 CET
dracut seems to be producing unusable initramfs images with nVidia 340.

I have an nVidia 610, that uses the proprietary nvidia 340.107 driver. I have noeveau blacklisted, but when I attempt to boot using the standard image, I get a blank screen for a frame buffer. X never loads. Changing the boot  parameter vga=791 parameter to text. Allows me to see what is going on. I can console in, but neither the Network adapters, nor the nvidia driver will work. I have to either use failsafe, or linux-nonfb images from Mageia 6.

Do you have "nokmsboot" on kernel command line ?

Comment 2 Zombie Ryushu 2019-12-15 14:03:54 CET
Yes I do.
Comment 3 Thomas Backlund 2019-12-15 14:22:43 CET
Hm, if network is not working either, then some more low-level is broken.

What kernel ?
Comment 4 Lewis Smith 2019-12-15 21:46:28 CET
At least the right video driver seems to have been used:

Assigning to kernel group as Thomas has already looked at this - thanks!

Comment 5 Zombie Ryushu 2019-12-15 22:00:59 CET
Kernels tried are 5.3.13 and I think the 4.x kernels from Mageia 6. I'm going to attempt to roll back dracut to 0.44
Comment 6 Zombie Ryushu 2019-12-16 14:08:53 CET
Rollback didn't help.
Comment 7 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-07-06 13:16:34 CEST
Mageia 7 is EOL since July 1st 2021.
There will not have any further bugfix for this release.

You are encouraged to upgrade to Mageia 8 as soon as possible.

@reporter, if this bug still apply with Mageia 8, please let us know it.

@packager, if you work on the Mageia 7 version of your package, please check the Mageia 8 package if issue is also present. In this case, please fix the Mageia 8 version instead.

This bug report will be closed OLD if there is no further notice within 1st September 2021.
Comment 8 Marja Van Waes 2021-09-07 14:10:11 CEST
Hi bug reporter and hi assignee and others involved,

Please reopen this bug report if it is still valid for Mageia 8 or 9(cauldron), and change "Version:" in the upper left of this report accordingly.

This report is being closed as OLD because it was filed against Mageia 7, for which  support ended on June 30th 2021.

Thanks,
Marja
