Thanks for your response. Here is my kernel command line:

Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,msdos1)/vmlinuz-5.5.0-rc7+ root=/dev/mapper/intel--wildcatpass--07-root ro crashkernel=512M resume=/dev/mapper/intel--wildcatpass--07-swap rd.lvm.lv=intel-wildcatpass-07/root rd.lvm.lv=intel-wildcatpass-07/swap console=ttyS0,115200n81

BTW: Actually, I put the complete kernel log in my last email reply, you could check the attachment if needed.

Sure. Please refer to it.

[root@intel-wildcatpass-07 linux]# grep -nr "CONFIG_LOG_" .config 
134:CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=20
135:CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT=12

[root@intel-wildcatpass-07 linux]# grep -nr "CONFIG_PRINTK_" .config 
136:CONFIG_PRINTK_SAFE_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=13
207:CONFIG_PRINTK_NMI=y
7758:CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y
7759:# CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER is not set

Do you have any suggestions about the size of CONFIG_LOG_* and CONFIG_PRINTK_* options by default?

Thanks.
Lianbo
