http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1017783 Bug ID: 1017783 Summary: Boot issues with Tumbleweed and Kernel 4.9 (booting stops at Loading initial ramdisk; kernel 4.9 does not boot) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: r.pretki@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- My system: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. My hardware: Toshiba A200-209 laptop http://www.toshiba.eu/discontinued-products/satellite-a200-209/ The system worked properly with kernel 4.8.14-1-default. I updated the kernel to the latest current version for Tumbleweed: kernel-default-4.9.0-1.1.x86_64 (http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/) and kernel-default-4.9.0-2.1.x86_64 (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/Update/standard...). Every time when I try to start the system, the kernel does not boots, but immediately automatic reboot (before loading GRUB2). Booting stops (hangs) on “Loading initial ramdisk” and kernel 4.9 does not boot. Only kernels older than 4.9 work. I tried to install the kernel-default-4.9.0-3.1.gf4d3acd.x86_64 (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/x86_64/), but the situation every time is the same. Reproducible: Always. Anticipating possible questions: (1) Yes, I used the option zypper ref, zypper dup. It does not help. (2) journalctl: the lack of any logs (I do not see anything). Removing the “quiet” option from GRUB2 did not help. No information or logs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
