[Oracle Linux 6.7] Kernel panic at the first boot after fresh install

disableNoise · 10-17-2023, 05:21 PM

Hello LQ! Long time without posting here.

The thing is I had to install a fresh Oracle Linux 6.7 in a server (HP DL380 Gen9) in EFI in a RAID1 logical drive. But when it boot for the first time, it appears the following error (a kernel panic) and I don't know what's happened:

Can you help me please?

it appears that some firmware is either not being loaded by the kernel, or some device is not responding when the kernel attempts to communicate.
i would think that it's likely your RAID card causing issues, have you checked to make sure that it's supported under linux?
can you boot from a LiveCD iso to see if it also panics?

I've done a bit more digging around other forums, unfortunately the prognosis doesn't look good.
long story short, there is a known issue with the HPE raid cards and their firmware not playing nice with linux & needing to be updated.

There was also some discussion on the ubuntu forums about this back in kernel v4 where there was a patch, but i'm not sure if it ended up getting mainlined into upstream linux.
You may have some better luck with ubuntu though
