strange behavior with kernel-4.14.x
Each time I update a system with kernel from 4.14.x series, the kernel segfaults the first time it boots.
Then I reboot a second time, it boots normally. It's the same problem, if I build myself the kernel for slackware from scratch. Nothing of that kind happens with 4.4.x, 4.9.x or 4.13.x kernels. What's wrong with that kernel? |
I second that
I've also gotten a lot of odd behaviour out of this kernel

I have a small PC, model Fujitsu Esprimo Q5030, which have hardware similar with a laptop, with CPU: Intel Core2 Duo P8400, but in a small desktop, and it have same behavior. Something is wrong with (some of) the Intel CPUs on our current kernel. ;) |
I experienced that behavior a couple of times in an earlier kernel series. I'm not sure if it was the later 4.4.0 series or early 4.9.0 series where I experienced it. My computer feels more responsive with this kernel.

My machine is rather new: INTEL with i7-6700, no RYZEN.
I'll test on x86_64 to see if the behavior is the same. update: I updated a partition with Slackware-current x86_64, it booted normally. Seems to be limited to 32-bit systems. |
Mines done the exact same thing on a number of earlier kernels, but interestingly enough it didn't happen on 4.14. Weird. Seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.

Good news. I found that 4.14.2 didn't have the strange behaviour anymore yay.....
|
None of them have had issues for me on 7 machines. Latest 4.14 kernels piss off virtualbox but hey patched it myself.
I always build an initrd.gz for the new kernel before I reboot to the new kernel image. then boot vmlinuz-generic. This may be a huge or huge-smp thing. |

The good news for me is that this little thingie does not is rebooted often, so the issue does not disturb me too much. Also, my modding make it a bit non-standard, so my laments are with half of mouth... ;) |
No problem here 4.14.2 work.

4.14.2 on old machine not work

Since I had boot=/dev/sda in my lilo.conf my appropriate BIOS boot disk wan't overwritten. Now I put to lilo.conf boot=/dev/disk/by-id/... and everything is OK. |
