http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185542 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185542#c2 --- Comment #2 from Paul Graff --- I believe I am using kernel defaults (I am not certain though). I have 4 gigabytes of DDR2 installed in this laptop since it's 32 bit. Thanks -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185542 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185542#c5 --- Comment #5 from Paul Graff --- Thank you for your response. I have installed kernel 5.12.1-1.g9bb8944-default (I hope this is correct in what you are referring to as kernel-default-5.12). I powercycled the computer and selected kernel-5.12.1-1.g9bb8944-default option. The system stalls at "Loading initial ramdisk ...". I would like to add that prior to installing kernel 5.12.1-1.g9bb8944-default earlier, I performed a "zypper dup" which installed along with packages the kernel 5.1.2.0-2-pae (Working kernel 5.11... is no longer shown on the boot menu). Selecting kernel 5.12.0.2-pae does give some reporting errors as follows: System stalls and was reporting something like "CPU 0 stalled...." but not anymore just stops stuck at "ret_from_fork0x1c/0x20" or "Kernel Offset:disabled". Finally the system powercycles. Thanks -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Feel free to uninstall kernel-default again. Now, we need more details about the crash. Any chance that you have the relevant kernel Oops or panic in the saved kernel logs? Or if not, try to boot without quiet boot option, and check whether you get the stack traces on screen, and take a picture. That's often helpful as a start. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I would like to add 2 more photos of the "stack traces". 1. https://ibb.co/vZsM8Kq 2. https://ibb.co/djh9cwD I do hope this helps to some degree. -Regards -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

[ 0.486287] x86/cpu: VMX (outside TXT) disabled by BIOS [80.597573] watchdog: BUG soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 23s!

I will double check adding kfence.sample_interval=0 to kernel parameter again but quite certain no joy. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
