Well, 5.3.0-23 now boots indeed. But it doesn't shut down, that is even worse than not booting at all... I tried three times, every time it got stuck during the shutdown process, unable to kill process #1 (systemd) leaving the CPU stale on that process. I had to long press the power button and kill my PC using the hard ways. Since I really don't like the idea of ending up with a corrupted filesystem I stopped trying booting kernel 5.3.0-23 again. I will stay on 5.3.0-19 until a new working kernel will be released. BTW, two major bugs on the same kernel is not that nice, from a QA perspective (ok, it's an "edge" kernel, but anyway...).
-- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852581 Title: hwe-edge kernel 5.3.0-23.25 kernel does not boot on Precision 5720 AIO Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux-hwe-edge package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux source package in Bionic: Invalid Status in linux-hwe-edge source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Eoan: Fix Committed Status in linux-hwe-edge source package in Eoan: Invalid Bug description: SRU Justification Impact: The fix for bug 1850234 does not function as intended in bionic, as a result of modinfo not knowing about module signatures. This results in no modules being signed in hwe kernels based on 5.3, rendering systems with secure boot enabled unbootable. Fix: Check for the module signature at the end of modules instead of relying on modinfo. This can be done without any external tools needing to be aware of module signatures. Test Case: Check that all built modules contain signatures, except for those in staging which have not been whitelisted. Regression Potential: I can think of two possible regression situations. We could regress to the behavior prior to the fix for bug 1850234, or the eoan 5.3 kernel could also end up with all modules unsigned. I've done test builds of both the eoan 5.3 kernel and the bionic 5.3 hwe-edge kernel with this patch and checked that the results are as intended. We should also check this again once new kernels have been built, before copying them out to -proposed. --- The latest hwe-edge kernel 5.3.0-23.25 fails to boot with the message that it cannot find the UUID associated with the root partition. The user gets dropped to a busybox shell with an initramfs prompt. The standard hwe kernel does not have this issue and the last hwe-edge kernel that does work is 5.3.0-19.20.
