PM80xx kernel panic

[sili]

Hi,

After upgrading to pve-kernel-5.15.102-1-pve

I cannot boot server.

I have tried
pve-kernel-5.15.102-1-pve
pve-kernel-5.19.17-2-pve
pve-kernel-6.1.15-1-pve
pve-kernel-6.2.2-1-pve
pve-kernel-6.2.6-1-pve

only pve-kernel-5.19.17-2-pve can boot into the server, but I still have another problem.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Thanks

Hi,

Do you have any specific kernel command `cat /etc/default/grub`? I also would check the BIOS firmware update.

Hi,

Hi, this is my grub setting.

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet mitigations=off"
#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet mitigations=off pci=nomis"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs"

# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"

I ever try to change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet mitigations=off pci=nomsi"
It works to boot into the server.
but it's got more problems.

It seems that the HBA card makes PVE unable to boot

Hi,
I hit the same issue with PM80XX while upgrading from Debian 10 to 11 (with default kernel moving from 4.19 to 5.10).
Backported 6.1.0 did not work as well... but kernel 6.4.0 did work.

Idk if it would fit your system and requirements or whether this kernel is even available but wanted to share just in case...
