Update kernel not booting on AMD Athlon X2

I have installed Leap 15.6 on old computer with AMD Athlon X2. After install everything worked fine but after update the system failed to boot (restarting after leaving GRUB). After some test I found that kernels 6.4.0-150600-23.50.1 and later do not boot. Last booting kernel is 6.4.0-150600-23.47.2.
Is it possible fix the problem?

Yeah, that is old hardware (~20 years?). It is a bit unclear to me what goes wrong here. Do you see any messages? Or does it automatically return to GRUB? Theoretically you could lock the working kernel package in the Software manager, or in zypp.conf as a specific kernel to keep

Does your problem manifest like mine [Grub2 cannot load latest two kernel updates] ?

It could be. For this one needs to open bug report so that developers become aware of the problem.

What does “not boot” actually mean here? My Athlon X2 seems to “boot” just fine with both 23.53 and 23.60 kernels:

When the PC has had plenty of time to finish “not booting”, does Ctrl-Alt-F3 produce a login prompt on an otherwise black screen? Does hitting ESC right after leaving the Grub menu produce messages? Does it have an NVidia GPU? Is it possible to remotely login to it from another computer on a local LAN after it’s done not booting?

Info is insufficient. Post

For kernel 23.50+ the last I can see is a message “Load initial ramdisk…” and system reboots.

Could this be a corrupted ramdisk? It won’t hurt to run:

sudo dracut -f --regenerate-all

Then try to boot a previously not working kernel.
Please also show your customization(s) of the grub linux commandlne, if you have any.

No need to run inxi with su privileges.

Package xf86-video-nouveau is not installed or broken?

Newer BIOS version is available. Check mobo version and choose needed one.

BTW, CPU is not compatible with Leap 16.0.

Leap’s inxi is known broken. IIRC, it may specifically be G that is broken, which may be why it managed to show the nouveau kernel module loaded, while (modesetting) display driver failed (N/A). xf86-video-nouveau is an optional, “experimental”, reverse-engineered display driver, so not required for a typical GT218 GPU:

Regenerating initial ramdisks with dracut does not help.

Here we see your problem is the nouveau display driver failed to load: loaded: N/A.

These two I don’t have. The first provides access to proprietary NVidia drivers, which AFAIK are unsupported for any GT218 on 15.6, thus is of no current value to have installed.

The second provides the optional, reverse-engineered, experimental nouveau display driver that inxi shows has failed to load. The question is why loading failed. There may be a file named Xorg.0.log or Xorg.0.log.old in either /var/log/ or ~/.local/share/xorg/ that would provide clues as to why. If any exists you can share via the susepaste command and report the resulting URL here, e.g.:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old | susepaste

or

susepaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old

To get this right and be helpful, the file needs to have been generated in an attempt to boot one of the failing kernels. To ensure that happens, inspect the file to see a bad kernel version announced along with numerous (EE) lines. Normally a good boot immediately following a bad boot will produce an Xorg.0.log.old file we need to see. Sometimes booting results in more than one attempt to get X started, in which case a useful Xorg.0.log.old will be overwritten. Timestamps on Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old would indicate if this has happened. There should be minutes rather than seconds of separation. If it has, then a file needs to be captured for sharing from a failing kernel boot — along with the first of two occurring in short succession, as that may be indicative of yet another problem.

It could be that the failures with newer kernels are caused by a reported timing issue that does not occur with the older kernel. If this happens, and sddm is not configured to adequately retry, the result could a black screen login prompt. If this is what is happening, then logging in from the prompt should allow to start sddm with the timing issue long past.

If you remove the xf86-video-nouveau package, X should try to load the preferred default display driver modesetting instead of the failed nouveau. Try that too and report back along with the susepaste URL.

If you ever tried to install proprietary NVidia drivers in this installation, /etc/X11/xorg.con* may contain one or more files containing the string “nvidia”. If you find any, they need to be removed, as a cause for failure to load either of the mentioned display drivers. This seems unlikely here given older kernel is working.

The NVIDIA repository was automatically added during install, not by me.
The /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old log captured after a failed boot is at: https://paste.opensuse.org/1a5274faf3aa. This the log of last good boot yesterday.
The system crashes much before any video driver is loaded, at the kernel start.

That URL is producing an error, no log content. :frowning:

This is what initially opens when I click that link in SeaMonkey, Chromium, or Firefox ESR:

By miska, at 30th of June 2023.

This service is now obsolete. New service has been setup and is available at https://paste.opensuse.org.

It shortly redirects to https://paste.opensuse.org/ for creating an anonymous paste. When I look on openSUSE Paste I see nothing I can correlate to this thread, few Xorg.0.logs, none of which suggest use of an NVidia GPU.

:frowning_face:

If the size of Xorg.0.log.old is less than 10k, try pasting it here.

I have similar HW (AMD X2, GPU GT218). It works quite well (using Nouveau) even with latest kernel 6.4.0-150600.23.60-default. Today did fresh install from openSUSE-Leap-15.6-XFCE-Live-x86_64-Media.iso (enabled Online repositories, used XFCE Desktop).

My only problem was broken OpenGL:

$ xdriinfo

MESA: error: ZINK: vkCreateInstance failed (VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER)
glx: failed to create drisw screen
failed to load driver: zink
Screen 0: swrast

Fix was surprisingly easy, just installed missing:

zypper in Mesa-dri-nouveau

Now both xdriinfo and glxinfo reports 3D acceleration:

$ xdriinfo

Screen 0: nouveau

$ glxinfo -B | head

I’m glad to hear that there are still happy users of venerable AMD X2 CPUs!

There are other paste options via the web usable whether or not susepaste gets fixed, among them:

I can paste a document to paste.opensuse.org and see it but it expires after one hour. Is it possible to extend this period?

The website has a select box for “remove after”. The man page for the susepaste command shows a -e option for the purpose.
