Summary
Rackspace Xen 4.7 linux-image-4.19.0-26-cloud-amd64 works,
linux-image-4.19.0-27-cloud-amd64 does not work.
I am running Buster on Rackspace inside a 1GB basic model VM
At the end of June, linux-image-4.19.0-27-cloud-amd64 was added as a
security update
My unattended-upgrades script trusts security updates.
Upon its first reboot, the machine failed.
It is certain that: linux-image-4.19.0-26-cloud-amd64 work,
linux-image-4.19.0-27-cloud-amd64 does not.
choosing -27... (recovery mode) fails in an apparently identical fashion
(a screen grab of the console is attached. another line is written before
the crash, but I cannot read it)
this screengrab ends with "Last level dTLB entries: 4kb 512, 2MB 128, 4MB
64, 1GB 0"
I thought I should put a message here in case someone else suffers in the
same way. I do not have the skills to burrow further into the issue.
Here is dmesg for a -26- (working) boot, showing DMI: Xen HVM domU, BIOS
4.7 09/01/2021 and Xen version 4.7:
I have snipped it half a second after the dTLB line. I feel pretty sure the
-27- kernel fails within a few lines of th dTLB line, but of course,
hypervisors, <shrug> who knows?
