Hi all,
I updated a Dell XPS laptop from CentOS 8.1 (1911) to 8.2 (2004).
Installed kernels are kernel-4.18.0-147.5.1.el8_1.x86_64 kernel-4.18.0-147.8.1.el8_1.x86_64 kernel-4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64
Unfortunately I can not boot into the latest kernel-4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64.
After grub2 screen I only see following line:
EFI stub: UEFI Secure Boot is enabled
Booting into the older kernel is still possible. The above line appears and after that the normal kernel output scrolls over the screen (rhgb quiet disabled).
Is the new kernel correctly signed?
What can I do?
-- Thanks Leon
Hi Leon,
Don't think that it's due to secureboot, as on my work laptop (thinkpad t490s), I have secureboot on, and kernel working fine.
OTOH, on my family laptop (also in secureboot mode), when I updated from 8.1.1011 to 8.2.2004, laptop became unresponsive during the microcode_ctl update (in scriptlet) and after that it auto-reset itself , so in the middle of the whole rpm transaction. I tried to recover it but it was to a point where it was faster to just reinstall from scratch with 8.2.2004, which I did ... and in gnome, everything was fine, etc (adding repo, pkgs) but then on the *same* kernel it was installed with, just tried a reboot, and nothing : grub shows menu, you select kernel and on upper left there is only cursor (fixed) and nothing happens ..
I'll try to diagnose what's the issue as actually that means troubles with family using that laptop :)
Did you got managed to boot kernel-4.18.0-193.14.2.el8_2 or a newer one? I must still boot into kernel-4.18.0-147.8.1.el8_1.x86_64 ... and with the upcoming new kernel that depends on a new shim and grub2 package I wonder about the implications for my XPS hardware ...
