Description:
System freezes anytime I boot Arch with a 4.x kernel i686 and x86_64. A hard reboot is needed. Additional info: - Booted kernels ARCH, ck, zen, lts and all freeze - Intel Atom N450 "Pineview" (Intel NM10 Express / GMA 3150) netbook Dell Mini 1012 - MBR layout Momentus 5.4k HDD - happened on i686 which was a 4 years old install. Single HD layout (no Raid, LVM or encryprion). - I formatted the whole drive and installed a new system using archiso-201501 x86_64. Kept default settings whenever possible to strip down the search for possible causes of this freeze. At the end it reproduces the same issue. Steps to reproduce: - Boot Arch with a kernel 4x, freeze. Observation: - with any kernel 3x system boots and runs fine. - i686 booted with *intel_ucode cheatcode*; with new install the system won't start booting until that cheatcode is removed. - Maybe interesting: *First boot upon install* boots and run just fine; not any further one. I installed twice to check and could reproduce that. |
This task depends upon
* x86_64
https://ptpb.pw/suNu First boot upon install, no issue, 8 days uptime.
Second boot log is empty, like that:

Enforced usage limit is thus 99.7M, of which 91.7M are still available.

EDIT: boot logs attached.
First with: ro loglevel=7 earlyprintk=vga debug initrd=../initramfs-linux-fallback.img
Second one same but: rw nomodeset
Note: Atm I'm unable to mount my xfs external HDD while on linux-lts310-ck even after have runned `xfs_repair`.

Attaching log for boot freezing with linux 4.4.0-rc7-mainline.
1/ Arch
Linux mainline 4.4.1 hangs like the other 4.1x kernels.
2/ Fedora 23
I installed Fedora 23 on a spare logical partition and tested various 4x kernels, to confirm it's upstream issue. Here follow the results:
linux-4.2.3-300.fc23:
Runs just fine on first boot-up after installing the distro --> same as Arch.
Hangs upon the following boots --> same as Arch.
linux-4.3.3-301.fc23 and 4.1.0-1.fc23
Hangs upon boot-up --> same as Arch.
linux-4.0.8-300.fc22
Boots up to the gui login / tty (where I can't login for some unknown hostname reason).
After it freezes, I can't see anything in the logs about a kernel panic which is making me think this is some kind of serious fault as the kernel doesn't even have chance to log any related output that I can grasp.
Hang happens after I unplugged any external device from the laptop.
@brain0 and @tpowa if that still lacks usefull information please let me know.
I don't want to stay running linux 4.0.7 until the sky falls on my head. Will get OpenMediaVault or Rockstor NAS OS running and delete Arch + Fedora from this unsupported netbook. Hopefully will go on making a good job as a small NAS device.
