[Bug 1215826] New: kernel-default-6.5.4 won't boot; can't activate swap
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1215826 Bug ID: 1215826 Summary: kernel-default-6.5.4 won't boot; can't activate swap Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: psychonaut@nothingisreal.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 869836 --> https://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?id=869836&action=edit Output of hwinfo (with 6.4.12) I upgraded from Tumbleweed 20230908 to 20230921, which included an upgrade from kernel-default-6.4.12 to kernel-default-6.5.4. The new kernel has problems booting or resuming from suspend. In particular, when booting, about half the time the kernel is unable to activate the swap device. The last message printed to the console is "a start job is running for /dev/sda2" (the device in question being my swap partition) and a timer that counts up. I've let it run for as long as 10 hours but it never finishes. Resuming from suspend also doesn't work. In this case the computer simply locks up or powers off. (I haven't tested hibernate.) I had a similar problem (only with resuming from suspend, not with activating swap space) with kernel-default-5.19.1; not sure if this is related. See Bug 1202571. Downgrading to the 6.4.12 kernel works around the issue. I am attaching the output of hwinfo (using the 6.4.12 kernel). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

To test whether this is the right track, strike the E key at the Grub menu and change resume=/dev/sda2 to noresume before proceeding with boot. Noresume means what it spells, but it should boot straight away if I'm right. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I noticed when looking up the UUID of the swap device that it was always /dev/sdb2 when booting from the 6.4.12 kernel, whereas when booting from the 6.5.4 kernel it was sometimes /dev/sda2 and sometimes /dev/sdb2. So I think the real problem here is that the 6.5.4 kernel doesn't assign device names in the same consistent manner than 6.4.12 did, so you can't rely on these names in the bootloader.
This has been an on-again off-again problem for decades, and one of the reasons for the long ago switch to using using more reliable descriptors than kernel names.
I think that nowadays a fresh install of Tumbleweed will always use the device's UUID, but my system was first installed back in 2014 and so was still using the old /dev/sdXY-style identifiers.
Back around 10.3 or 11.0 a switch from kernel device names to /dev/disk/by-id/* was made. I think the switch from those to UUIDs by default was made in 13.2, which Tumbleweed inherited, or possibly the other way around, when instead of a 13.3 we got Leap and the initial Tumbleweed. My own installations have long been using primarily LABEL=, IIRC since my initial use of SUSE, 8.0. Note that resume= is an /option/ on Grub's linu lines. It overrides the resume= that initrds include by default in openSUSE. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
