Kernel modules again failed to load after update

brahma · 25 February 2023 08:26

edit your post and use proper formatting…

so lets reinstall nvidia + kernels, so remove nvidia:
mhwd -r pci video-nvidia-470xx
reinstall kernels:
pacman -S linux515 linux61
install nvidia back:
mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-470xx

enable early loading:
nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
and edit the MODULES section to look like this:

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset)

save it with: ctrl+x, press ‘Y’, and update it:
mkinitcpio -P
if there are any errors from the commands post them here, if not, exit chroot and reboot

Apologies for the formatting. I tried but can’t always get it right, it seems. Let me come back to that after following your other instructions.

newbietolinux · 25 February 2023 08:45

Getting stuck. Once I have edited the MODULES line in the nano editor, I press ctrl and x all fine, press y all fine , but how do I update it? Where does mkinitcpio -P come in? Is that the new name I must give the file? At the moment, i don’t know how to close the nano editor.

brahma · 25 February 2023 08:46

press ctrl+x, then press ‘Y’ and press enter, you should exit the editor, and then you run mkinitcpio -P from chroot

newbietolinux · 25 February 2023 09:32

Apologies for the delayed response. Unfortunately the problem persists when I tried to reboot…
The only errors in the commands seemed to be this:

Nachlese · 25 February 2023 09:37

some error or spurious characters seems to have been introduced during editing of the file /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

I do not know whether that is critical - likely not.

newbietolinux · 25 February 2023 09:39

Hi Nachlese

I will go back and do the process again,

brahma · 25 February 2023 09:40

post again logs, to see if its nvidia related:
journalctl -b-1 -p4 --no-pager
and also:
cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
and any errors during installing nvidia?

manjaro /]# cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:
#     MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset)

# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image.  This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way.  This is useful for config files.
FILES=""

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added.  Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
##   This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
##   No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
#    HOOKS=(base)
#
##   This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
##   work as a sane default
#    HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
##   No autodetection is done.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
##   This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
#
##   This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
#
##   NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
#    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap consolefont filesystems fsck"

# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"
#COMPRESSION="zstd"

# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=()

No errors in installing nvidia that I could see…but I am a newbie.

brahma · 25 February 2023 09:47

its still the nvidia…
did you tried booting with both kernels, the 5.15 and the 6.1? (not the fallback ones, but the normal one)

newbietolinux · 25 February 2023 09:55

That’s it! I wasn’t specifying the boot and didn’t see it was booting by default to linux61. When I booted from linux515, it worked like a charm! I tried 6.1 and it won’t.

How do I now fix this permanently?

brahma · 25 February 2023 09:58

i really dont know how, the only thing i can think of, is to add the ibt parameter, since you are using nvidia+intel, and the issue happens only on the newer kernels:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
and inside this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT inside the quotes add this parameter:
ibt=off
dont remove anything, just add it to existing parameters, save the file with ctrl+x, press Y, then enter;
update grub:
sudo update-grub

reboot and select the 6.1 kernel and see if you can boot with it

newbietolinux · 25 February 2023 10:14

Yes, that got 6.1 booting. I don’t know if it’s my imagination but it did seem to take longer to boot and feels slower. Could I delete 6.1 and use 5.15 as it is LTS?

brahma · 25 February 2023 10:19

ok, so the issue was the ibt parameter… at least we figured it out… yes you can if you wish, so boot with the 5.15 and remove the 6.1 from system settings, or:
sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux61

newbietolinux · 25 February 2023 10:27

Amazing support. Thank you so much. One last thing: if I only use 515 as LTS, how to go back to skipping the advanced options for choosing what to boot ?

brahma · 25 February 2023 10:31

you mean you dont want the grub menu to be shown?
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
and edit this line to look like this:
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
save it with ctrl+x, press ‘y’, then enter;
update grub:
sudo update-grub

newbietolinux · 25 February 2023 10:37

Thank you for the support and resolving the issue brilliantly.
