Hello,
For a while now (3 weeks or so) I have been upgrading the linux kernel
on a Dell XPS laptop starting from 6.1.41-gentoo (which is my current
working kernel) to 6.1.53-gentoo-r1. No kernel I have built since is
able to boot. I have been following the same method for many years: make
oldconfig, etc...
The booting error starts at:
[snip]
* INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
[snip]
* Starting cronie ...
* Starting DHCP Client Daemon ...
* Starting laptop_mode ...
* Mounting network filesystems ...
/etc/init.d/netmount: line 45 /lib/rc/bin/ewend: Input/output error
/lib/rc/sh/rc-cgroup.sh: line 184: rmdir: command not found
INIT:
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/agetty"
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/agetty"
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/agetty"
[snip]
The following kernels all failed to boot: 6.1.46-gentoo, 6.1.53-gentoo,
6.1.53-gentoo-r1. I am wondering whether this will eventually get fixed
on later kernels. I have been upgrading kernels on this machine since
2020 every other week without any kernel problems.
Inputs appreciated.
Thanks,
