Re: Boot fails after stretch upgrade to linux 4.9.0
Hi,
I may have not copied the correct error message when the system
freezes after passing lspci in recovery mode (unless
the message changed). I report below the corrected message.
To sum up:
- using linux 4.8.0. I notice no problem.
- When I first booted linux 4.9.0, I got a TPM error message that I never
had before. Disabling the security chip from BIOS solved it.
- The system does not boot as it gets stucked after loading some
service (e.g., network manager).
- It boots in recovery mode, but freezes when passing the lspci
command. It also freezes if I pass "systemctl reboot"
- Logs show error messages related to acpi, drivers, remount error of
EXT4 partition (fsck did not find problems), and segfault related to
gnome-session-f (https://is.gd/fMGaPr).
Do you have any hint to identify and understand better the origin of
the issue (please let me know if you need more info)?
Here is the message before the system gets stucked:
# lspci -nn | grep VGA

Thanks,
