Is there specific information you'd like from the VM? I just recreated the
problem and can extract.


The last image that succeeded getting built is publically available, so you
could create a gcp VM for that, go to /usr/src/linux, git pull, make & install
the new kernel and reproduce the problem that way.  The git pull will take a
bit because it's a shallow clone...

gcloud compute instances create myvm --preemptible --project your-gcp-project --image-project pg-ci-images --image pg-ci-sid-newkernel-2022-08-12t06-52 --zone us-west1-a --custom-cpu=4 --custom-memory=4 --metadata=serial-port-enable=true

If you want to log in via serial console, you'd have set a password before
rebooting.

gcloud compute connect-to-serial-port --zone us-west1-a --project=pg-ci-images-dev myvm


Executing the script requires a gcp key with the right to create instances and
images. Here's how to invoke it:

PACKER_LOG=1 GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=~/image-builder@pg-ci-images-dev.iam.gserviceaccount.com.json \
  packer build \
    -var gcp_project=pg-ci-images-dev \
    -var "image_date=$(date --utc +'%Y-%m-%dt%H-%M')" \
    -var "task_name=sid-newkernel" \
    -only 'linux.googlecompute.sid-newkernel' \
    -on-error=ask \
    packer/linux_debian.pkr.hcl

Of course you'd need to change the gcp_project= variable to point to a the
project you have access to and GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to point to your
gcp key.

Initially (package upgrades, kernel builds) the VM would be SSH
accessible. After building the kernel it's only accessible via serial console.


I can probably also get you the image in some other form that you prefer,
although I don't know if the problem will reproduce outside gcp. If helpful I
could upload a "broken" gcp image that you could use to
