Bug#991626: firmware-misc-nonfree: Upgrade from 20210315-2 to 20210315-3 crashes system
Package: firmware-misc-nonfree
Version: 20210315-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
This is a low-quality error report. First, it is likely that I can't repeat this problem because it occurred during upgrade of the package ; package is now upgraded.. Haven't tried forcibly installing older version and then upgrading again to see if problem persists. Secondly, I'm not 100% sure this is the package to blame. Thirdly, I don't have proper log files because after the incident my filesystem was in read-only mode so I don't really have proper trace about events leading to situation described below.
Steps for producing the problem:
0) Have debian testing in lenovo e15 gen2 with intel cpu
1) apt-get update ; apt-get -f dist-upgrade
What happens: dist-upgrade got stuck when it was extracting files from package firmware-misc-nonfree or setting it up - can't remember which. Filesystem went to ro-mode so nothing really worked so I had to power-cycle the computer so everything I had in progress was lost. After the power-cycle system booted up ok, I did "dpkg --configure -a" and "apt-get -f install" and at that point it reconfigured package firmware-misc-nonfree:amd64 (20210315-2, 20210315-3) and everything has been fine since that. For unexperienced user it still might be confusing to have apt-get stuck and having to have forcibly reboot the system to continue working.
History.log of apt looks really bad, namely like this:
@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@
Start-Date: 2021-07-28 11:59:51
Commandline: apt-get -f install
Upgrade: firmware-misc-nonfree:amd64 (20210315-2, 20210315-3)
End-Date: 2021-07-28 12:00:04
and log file contains some kilobytes of ascii 0 (^@) and then this
Commandline: apt-get -f install
that is after the reboot, from situation where I triggered apt-get -f install
manually.
Kern.log has one entry that points into microcode direction, it says
Jul 28 11:58:43 pikkufisu kernel: [ 0.000000] microcode: microcode updated e\
arly to revision 0x88, date = 2021-03-31
just before actual "boot" message:
Jul 28 11:58:43 pikkufisu kernel: [ 0.000000] Linux version 5.10.0-8-amd64 (\
debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc-10 (Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110, GNU \
ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.2) #1 SMP Debian 5.10.46-2 (2021-07-20)
that has been logged after the reboot.
Before microcode upgrade there are things in kern.log regarding wlan:
Jul 28 11:25:54 pikkufisu kernel: [593181.653751] wlp0s20f3: send auth to 54:a0\

: wlp0s20f3: link becomes ready
Those are 3 minutes before I had to reboot the system so this problem just might have something to do with
00:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (rev 20)
being reconfigured? If I remember correctly, this Wi-Fi card was the actual reason why I had to install firmware-misc-nonfree in the first place.
There is slightly similar occurrence described in
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=263040&p=5
but there sympton is not a hanging system or that's how I understand.
I'm insert below exerpt from /var/log/syslog but I'm not absolutely sure if it is from period before or after the reset button. Reason for reset button was that root-fs was mounted ro so I kind of doupt that there would be any log entries from time before the boot.
