A few updates: I downloaded a Ubuntu 23.04 in a USB stick and I can consistently boot from it, it uses kernel 6.2.0.
But when I try to boot it the same kernel from my hard drive (/dev/nvme0n1p1) it freezes just after grub initializes initrd -- nothing is printed, even though I passed "loglevel=7" parameter to the kernel. I'm still able to boot on a 5.17 (Linux galactica 5.17.5-051705-generic) kernel on the new system. So I tried to eliminate differences, and copied over the directories `/etc/modprobe.d` and `/etc/modules-load.d` and the `/etc/modules` file from my usb stick to my system. That didn't solve it though. But I did a diff of which kernel modules are installed in my system by default (kernel 5.17.5) that are not in the usb stick 23.04 (kernel 6.2.0). These are: > bridge > br_netfilter > dm_crypt > fb_sys_fops > hwmon_vid > intel_tcc_cooling > llc > nf_conntrack > nf_conntrack_netlink > nf_defrag_ipv4 > nf_defrag_ipv6 > nf_log_syslog > nf_nat > nfnetlink > nf_tables > nft_chain_nat > nft_compat > nft_limit > stp > xfrm_algo > xfrm_user > xt_addrtype > xt_conntrack > xt_limit > xt_LOG > xt_MASQUERADE > xt_state > xt_tcpudp I suppose something changed after kernel 5.17 (kernel 5.19 also doesn't boot) and is incompatible with something. Not sure what. Anything I can do to make the kernel (or maybe it's even grub ?) print out whatever it's doing before crashing ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2020647 Title: Upgrade from 22.04 to 22.10 won't boot Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I was actually meaning to upgrade to 23.04, but the updater offered to upgrade to 22.10 first, so I supposed this was needed. After a standard upgrade with the UI, even the recovery boot never passes the "Loading initial ramdisk ..." line -- it silently freezes. I have removed the "quiet splash" options in grub by "dis_ucode_ldr", following some random article. Anyway, nothing is displayed after "Loading initial ramdisk ..." line. I have the following kernel installed: 5.19.0-42-generic 5.17.5-051705-generic 5.15.36-051536-generic 5.15.0-27-generic (*) 5.13.0-19-generic Plus a dual-boot windows. Just the 5.15.0-27-generic boots, but it doesn't mount ethernet for some reason. My motherboard uses Realtek 8125, and it used to work just fine 10 minutes ago (in 22.04), but now I'm not able to install `r8125-dkms` module, because I dont' have the linux-headers version installed for that kernel ... I'm also not able to find it to download. I also have an old 2080ti NVidia card, in case that has any effect on this. Any suggestions ?
