https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217083 Bug ID: 1217083 Summary: snapshot 20231107 --> 20231108 boot fails Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: All OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: roeland.jansen@sue.nl QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Recently I updated 23031107 to 20231108 on two laptops running legacy boot. Both hang some time at console plymouth stuff. dracut then comes up with the inability to find /dev/system/root. It ends up in the dracut emergency shell. in the shell, lvm pvscan will report no physical volumes. It also happens on a virtual machine. (also not UEFI). If I try to recover with an usb stick, no partitions are shown. If I show "all", the installed system is being identified als unknown, architecture unknown. (and yes it's a 64 bit TW stick). I could not recover them anymore. Also, on one of the laptops, grub does not show windosws anmore, the other does. I luckily have a snapshot on my work vm so I can revert back. The following packages are updated when this happens. alsa alsa-devel code kernel-firmware-all kernel-firmware-amdgpu kernel-firmware-ath10k kernel-firmware-ath11k kernel-firmware-atheros kernel-firmware-bluetooth kernel-firmware-bnx2 kernel-firmware-brcm kernel-firmware-chelsio kernel-firmware-dpaa2 kernel-firmware-i915 kernel-firmware-intel kernel-firmware-iwlwifi kernel-firmware-liquidio kernel-firmware-marvell kernel-firmware-media kernel-firmware-mediatek kernel-firmware-mellanox kernel-firmware-mwifiex kernel-firmware-network kernel-firmware-nfp kernel-firmware-nvidia kernel-firmware-platform kernel-firmware-prestera kernel-firmware-qcom kernel-firmware-qlogic kernel-firmware-radeon kernel-firmware-realtek kernel-firmware-serial kernel-firmware-sound kernel-firmware-ti kernel-firmware-ueagle kernel-firmware-usb-network libasound2 libatopology2 libbrotli-devel libbrotlicommon1 libbrotlicommon1-x86-64-v3 libbrotlidec1 libbrotlidec1-x86-64-v3 libbrotlienc1 libbrotlienc1-x86-64-v3 libbytesize-lang libbytesize1 libgusb2 libnghttp2-14 libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-0-x86-64-v3 libsvn_auth_kwallet-1-0 libxxhash0 openSUSE-release openSUSE-release-appliance-custom openSUSE-release-ftp sqlite3-devel sqlite3-tcl subversion subversion-bash-completion subversion-perl sysuser-shadow ucode-amd wmctrl I tried by mounting in rescue, created a new grub.cfg where osprober does not show windows anymore. The interesting part is that dracut -f will as last line shows "adding boot menu entry for UEFI firmware settings" Basically I will end up in reinstalling windows and linux on both laptops. (in legacy boot) If needed, I can install the non-kernel parts and see what package eventualy triggers this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Recently I updated 23031107 to 20231108 on two laptops running legacy boot.
The previous dracut update was in snapshot 20231101 (059+suse.511.g0bdb16ac), no changes between 23031107 and 23031107.
I tried by mounting in rescue, created a new grub.cfg where osprober does not show windows anymore. The interesting part is that dracut -f will as last line shows "adding boot menu entry for UEFI firmware settings"
This output is not from dracut, but from grub2-mkconfig. dracut does not add boot menu entries.
it's all intel -- so I would think it's not used at all.
I taboo'd the package and a restart was ok there. Directly all back.
Then I'm wondering how ucode-amd can be included in your initramfs. Are you building non-hostonly initrds? Can you attach the output of `dracut -f --debug test.img`? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

in my case, ucode-amd triggered the dracut emergency shell.
Both the failed vm (intel) and laptop (intel) dropped in dracut emerg. shell:
+ (In reply to Roeland Jansen from comment #10)
he installed 15.5 (SLES) --> missing lv's and pv's
he just removed ucode-intel and it boots....
so the boot fails with any ucode? that's pretty weird...
regarding the question about the output of `dracut -f --debug test.img`?
I then need to forcefully f* up one instance. Not sure if we can do. At work, these vm's ertainly cannot be f* up.
You can install the ucode package that you say it's breaking your boot, run `dracut -f --debug test.img 2>&1 &> dracut.log` (it does not install the initrd in the /boot partition), and uninstall the ucode package. Otherwise, if we don't have any kind of log it's quite difficult to guess what may be happening, I've never seen a similar bug report. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

collegue of mine and I will be at the office and will try and see if we can replay it with a new vm and talked to my collegue and we will try to reproduce a new vm with this issue and send the test.img
Just to clarify, we ask to attach the `dracut.log` file, not the `test.img`. BTW, you can use this `test.img` initramfs without breaking the default, copy it to your /boot partition and edit the grub entry at boot when the grub menu is displayed, changing the value of the `initrd` line to /test.img -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

well....
The problem is that it's at home and work a TW issue (3 or 4 systems) AND it also is a same issue on SLES (*) (at work)
100% same issue, same problem, no PVs found after update. We do know the work-around" - on all the systems, removing ucode* upfront.
(*) I could just skip it and let it go like "if someone else has this issue, I don't care" but to me that's not helping.
Two different teams looking at it to me doesn't seem to me effective use of resources?
SLE is a commercial product, therefore all its incidents must be handled through the SUSE Customer Center (https://scc.suse.com/). That does not mean different teams, but different processes. Thank you for your understanding and I hope this does not cause you any inconvenience. Other than that, I suspect (it's the only thing I can do with the info I have) that you are experiencing at least 2 different issues: - 1 : Tumbleweed update from 23031107 to 20231108 on two laptops with Intel CPU => problem with ucode-amd (comment #0, comment #3) - 2 : SLES 15.5, update? laptop or vm? with Intel CPU => problem with ucode-intel (comment #10) Both Tumbleweed and SLE have different kernel, dracut, firmware versions... Tumbleweed is a rolling release, so it's very unlikely that an issue with a TW update is related to an issue in SLE. BTW, AFAIK microcode only affects physical CPUs, the vm guests do not have microcode of it's own, so it's even more strange that a ucode package is breaking a vm. And, as Takashi said in comment #8, a problem with a microcode should not allow the system to get this far in the boot process. So, it'd great if you can provide the Tumbleweed logs requested in comment #11 (`dracut -f --debug test.img 2>&1 &> dracut.log`), and the file /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt after trying to boot with the generated initramfs test.img, passing also `rd.debug` to the kernel command line.

//etc/os-release@4(source): PRETTY_NAME='SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP5'
The logs you are providing are from SLE, so please provide the Tumbleweed logs. If this is only about a SLE bug, you should open a L3 incident, so it can be addressed correctly. Thank you. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
