The drm-tip directories for the most recent days have missing or failed amd64 builds, so I had to go back a few days and install the drm-tip kernel from: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm- tip/2020-05-20/
With secure boot disabled I have rebooted approximately 15 times and have not been able to reproduce the hang on boot issue I was seeing with the regular 5.4 kernel. This is an intermittent issue, so I'll keep using this kernel for the time being and let you know if it hangs again. I have some questions now: 1. Should I expect the fixes from this drm-tip kernel to be made available to the regular Ubuntu 20.04 GA kernel (v5.4) ? Or, will the fixes only be made available in the next 20.04 HWE kernel? 2. How safe is it to keep using the drm-tip kernel in the meantime? I imagine the drm-tip kernel is not as thoroughly tested as the regular kernel, and does not receive automatic security updates. --- For reference, these are the packages I downloaded and installed. $ sha256sum linux-*.deb 83ae364e68ef7cfdc171a5037674da2f1cf8c67b63e84d2e2d08fab501499a37 linux-headers-5.7.0-994_5.7.0-994.202005192206_all.deb a4b5650ccd06137b1edf5e6c10283b598f32322149d46633f358a3b1d6ed9788 linux-headers-5.7.0-994-generic_5.7.0-994.202005192206_amd64.deb fb1dd00c1820b6e790302698b54818cfad2611b3de4b6135ce0316a86274eb16 linux-image-unsigned-5.7.0-994-generic_5.7.0-994.202005192206_amd64.deb 711c3fe02fcd38c6607c4c3f8e3a417ccc0b3252f4c576cf1fcf0e4743714197 linux-modules-5.7.0-994-generic_5.7.0-994.202005192206_amd64.deb -- 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/1877889 Title: Intermittent hangs on boot Ubuntu 20.04 on Lenovo E595 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello, I see occasional hangs on boot. The hangs occur after entering the LUKS decryption password for the root filesystem, and before the login screen is displayed. The "/boot" filesystem is not encrypted, so the initramfs is loading fine etc. The hangs are intermittent. Sometimes I don't see a hang for 10+ boots in a row, and sometimes I'll get a hang 5 times in a row. When the hang occurs the boot splash screen is visible (not the login screen). The system is still responsive to SysRq keys, so I can somewhat safely issue S+U+S+B sequence to try booting again without corrupting much. I have tried removing the "quiet splash" kernel parameters that are enabled by default on Ubuntu desktop to see if any interesting messages occur that way. So far however I have not experienced a hang with "quiet splash" removed. This system is a Lenovo E595 (Ryzen 3500U) with the latest BIOS from Lenovo installed (v1.16), running Ubuntu 20.04 desktop. I am submitting this bug using `ubuntu-bug linux-image-generic`, but I don't know for sure if this is a kernel issue or something else. I suspect my bug might be the same as this one already reported ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1873594 ), but I'm filing my own anyway as a means to capture more details of my system.
