Hi Rauno, Thanks for reporting this bug; nice finding on pci=noats.
$ grep -A1 noats ~/git/linux/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt noats [PCIE, Intel-IOMMU, AMD-IOMMU] do not use PCIe ATS (and IOMMU device IOTLB). Wondering if the amd gfx drivers with ats/iommu (ie, w/out pci=noats) causes memory corruption: The screenshot in #1 shows that initramfs unpacking failed -- say, something corrupted the compressed initramfs image loaded in memory -- and this happened closely to when AMD-Vi failed to access an IOMMU perf count(er? I guess.) And it seems to be graphics related, not just ats/iommu code alone, which prints 'AMD-Vi' (it's in linux/drivers/iommu/amd/) since recovery mode, with 'nomodeset', works fine. When you boot in recovery mode, do you see initramfs unpacking failed as well? (please check 'dmesg | grep -i initramfs') -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1901024 Title: Crash on startup using linux 5.8.0-25 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1901024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
