Hi,
Linux 6.8 (and 6.8.1) are hanging on boot on my Ultra 60, right after
mounting the root filesystem. This is a regression from 6.7, which
boots without any such problem.
Everything looks pretty normal, up to:
[...]
Run /sbin/init as init process
INIT:
and the abnormal behaviour is that the boot appears to be stuck at
this point with no further output on the console.
I bisected to this commit:
commit 45a3a8ef81291b63a2b50a1a145857dd9fc05e89

serial: core: Revert checks for tx runtime PM state
Reverting this commit on top of Linux 6.8 is sufficient to get the
system booting again.
The console output related to the serial port (or anything else) does
not appear to be any different on a failing versus working kernel:
f0061e88: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x1fff1400000 (irq = 7, base_baud = 115200) is a SAB82532 V3.2
Console: ttyS0 (SAB82532)
printk: legacy console [ttyS0] enabled
f0061e88: ttyS1 at MMIO 0x1fff1400040 (irq = 7, base_baud = 115200) is a SAB82532 V3.2
Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 1 ports, IRQ sharing disabled
serial 0000:00:05.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0001)
0000:00:05.0: ttyS2 at I/O 0x1fe02010c00 (irq = 17, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
In case it helps, I attached the complete console output from a failing
boot (gzipped).
Let me know if you need any more info!
Thanks,
Nick
