ACPI errors (was: f24 boot fails; need help).
by William 19 Dec '18

19 Dec '18

Good evening, One of the problems reported in the log file "rdsosreport.txt" generated by the failed boots discussed in the "f24 boot fails; need help" topic was a set of "ACPI" errors. Here are the relevant lines (with added line numbers) from that log file (the first and last lines are just for context): ---------- 862 [ 1.218683] coyote kernel: ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) 863 [ 1.218927] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 864 [ 1.219196] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT1._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db488), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 865 [ 1.219856] coyote kernel: ata2.00: ATA-8: ST2000DM001-1CH164, CC24, max UDMA/133 866 [ 1.220017] coyote kernel: ata2.00: 3907029168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32), AA 867 [ 1.220812] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 868 [ 1.221100] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT1._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db488), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 869 [ 1.221620] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 870 [ 1.221909] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT5._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0dbac8), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 871 [ 1.222200] coyote kernel: ata6.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH14NS40, 1.00, max UDMA/100 872 [ 1.222374] coyote kernel: ata2.00: configured for UDMA/133 873 [ 1.222582] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 874 [ 1.222908] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT3._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db348), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 875 [ 1.222919] coyote kernel: scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA ST2000DM001-1CH1 CC24 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 876 [ 1.223466] coyote kernel: ata4.00: ATAPI: PIONEER BD-RW BDR-208M, 1.10, max UDMA/100 877 [ 1.226360] coyote kernel: ata7: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) 878 [ 1.226407] coyote kernel: ata9: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) 879 [ 1.226501] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 880 [ 1.226507] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT5._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0dbac8), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 881 [ 1.226519] coyote kernel: ata6.00: configured for UDMA/100 882 [ 1.227197] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 883 [ 1.227204] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT3._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db348), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 884 [ 1.227217] coyote kernel: ata4.00: configured for UDMA/100 ---------- What is this all about?

Install on Zotac Zbox CI327?
by wwp 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

Hello there, (after a looong time not using Fedora, just back to it!) I've tried installing Fedora on a Zotac Zbox CI327 (Intel Celeron N3450 inside) but this happens to fail. I've tried F25 but it has not the right kernel to make it (I've read about 4.10 minimum), then tried F26-Alpha-1.7 Live and Rawhide-20170518 Live but none could reach the graphical login. They both boot, some steps take a lot of time and I end up in a state I don't understand but which is not friendly ;-). Here's a link to a rdsosreport.txt file generated using Rawhide, I must admit that I don't know what to do now.. https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/iRx8d~7Luk2TC3bsaDuuT15M1UNdIGYhyRLiv… BTW, I could install and run a Ubuntu 17.10 daily (artful-desktop-amd64-20170519.iso) - wow it starts up pretty quickly - and that gave me hope! Any hint or experience w/ such hardware? Regards, -- wwp

How to turn on networking from rescue boot
by vendor＠billoblog.com 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

So... I did a "sudo dnf upgrade" and things seemed to do well. However, when I rebooted, it hangs on bootup with the statment "Holding until bootup processes complete" or something like that -- I'm doing this from memory. I tried with a couple of older kernels, but they also hung. I assume that this is some transient thing associated with the upgrade. Over the years, I've had glitches appear on an upgrade and disappear on the next upgrade. Accordingly, I'd like to boot into rescue mode and see if I can upgrade again. However, I've forgotten how to turn on wifi networking from rescue mode. Can anybody point me to a tutorial? Thanks, billo

4.17.x kernels cause "nvme0: controller is down" on MacBook Air
by Lonni J Friedman 17 Oct '18

17 Oct '18

Ever since Fedora(27) released a 4.17.x kernel, my MacBook Air (7,1) is no longer able to boot at all. It hangs when trying to use the NVMe disk controller: nvme nvme0: controller is down; will reset: CSTS=0x3, PCI_STATUS=0x810 and the entire boot process eventually times out completely. If I return to using the last 4.16.x kernel (4.16.14-200.fc27.x86_64), then the problem does *not* reproduce, and everything boots normally. i opened a bug for this problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1601196 however, I'm surprised that no one else has run into this issue. Any ideas or suggestions? thanks!

gnome-boxes, high cpu when guest is idle
by Eric Phetteplace 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Hello, Using Boxes, I installed a Windows 10 guest. I installed the spice drivers from spice-space.org/download (https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-…) and things look good. However, when the guest is idle, cpu is 0-4% the host process is significantly higher (28.7% for example below). I'm looking for advice on how to figure out what the problem is. The only thing I did so far is switch the disk bus from ide to virtio, and that didn't help. I have an XPS 13 with plenty of ram and SSD disk space - i5 processor, running Fedora 28, 4.17.7-200.fc28.x86_64 Here's some output from top: top - 07:13:02 up 12:49, 1 user, load average: 1.10, 1.84, 1.76 Tasks: 272 total, 1 running, 204 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu0 : 4.7 us, 2.7 sy, 0.0 ni, 91.6 id, 0.0 wa, 0.7 hi, 0.3 si, 0.0 st %Cpu1 : 3.0 us, 4.4 sy, 0.0 ni, 92.6 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st %Cpu2 : 4.3 us, 4.6 sy, 0.0 ni, 90.4 id, 0.0 wa, 0.3 hi, 0.3 si, 0.0 st %Cpu3 : 3.3 us, 5.0 sy, 0.0 ni, 91.7 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st KiB Mem : 16144924 total, 272940 free, 5217992 used, 10653992 buff/cache KiB Swap: 8224764 total, 8087004 free, 137760 used. 10409752 avail Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 27942 ericp 20 0 3886324 2.130g 26340 S 28.7 13.8 27:26.31 qemu-system-x86 Reading other items online I used perf to see what is going on: $ sudo perf kvm --host stat live Analyze events for all VMs, all VCPUs: VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time IO_INSTRUCTION 493 56.93% 67.91% 2.91us 99913.26us 4255.31us ( +- 17.70% ) APIC_ACCESS 237 27.37% 7.71% 0.56us 99775.52us 1004.83us ( +- 51.23% ) HLT 106 12.24% 23.89% 0.59us 99841.70us 6961.72us ( +- 22.82% ) EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT 19 2.19% 0.00% 1.52us 5.56us 2.62us ( +- 9.42% ) EPT_MISCONFIG 6 0.69% 0.49% 28.66us 14837.17us 2506.17us ( +- 98.41% ) PENDING_INTERRUPT 3 0.35% 0.00% 0.74us 4.78us 2.91us ( +- 40.38% ) TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD 2 0.23% 0.00% 4.21us 4.28us 4.24us ( +- 0.84% ) Total Samples:866, Total events handled time:3089057.95us. Lots of IO and APIC. I was hoping the virtio bus change would take care of the high IO_INSTRUCTIONs, but it didn't.

Lots of userspace exit. Lots of userspace, and looking at the top, the processors are doing an equal amount of usr and sys. I figure something is constantly doing system calls, causing lots of context switching. I did "ps -Alf" to get the command line it creates. Hopefully this helps.

SSH private keys?
by Jeffrey Ross 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

At one point Fedora had something (keyring?) that would allow me to unlock my SSH private keys and it would keep the unlocked key available so I could ssh without having to unlock my key every time. I typically run a simple "terminal" window and then "ssh <hostname>" since my key is not retained unlocked I'm prompted for a password. Fast forward to today, the system had been reinstalled (new hardware, new disks, etc) and I no longer have that ability. I'm currently runn Fedora 28 and the desktop is "Gnome", I'm sure it is just a matter of installing/configuring/running the correct application.... but which one? Thanks, Jeff

NFS not mounted at boot -
by Bob Goodwin 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

I have two computers, Fedora 27 and 28 that do not mount the nfs server at boot. It works from root afterward without any difficulty but that is a bit of an inconvenience. I put up with that problem with the Samba server for a long time but two is too much! This problem was unknown until I built this nfs box which pretty much says I've done something wrong but I have no idea what ... /etc/exports is: [bobg@ASRock-J3455M ~]$ cat /etc/exports /home/exports 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,fsid=0) The client /etc/fstab is: 192.168.1.86:/home/exports /mnt/testb nfs4 defaults 0 0 Any suggestions appreciated, -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-27/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3

F27->F28 no new kernel
by Frank Elsner 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Hello, I've just upgraded my TP X230i from F27 to F28 painless. But I'm still on my last F27 kernel-4.16.16-200.fc27.i686+PAE. No newer kernel installed. During ame upgrade procedure on my TP x121e kernel was updated to kernel-4.17.7-100.fc27.i686+PAE. Both systems are 32bit. What could prevent update to a newer kernel? Cheers, Frank

Fresh installation of Fedora 28 on existing disk without changing partition or LVM structure
by Jon Ingason 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

I have computer which I have upgraded every six month or so from 26 September 2014, starting with Fedora 20. I want to do a fresh installation of Fedora. I have a 3 Tbyte disk with two partitions, 500 Mbyte for /boot and the rest is one physical volume which is divided in three logical volume /, /home and /data. I want to reuse the old /boot for a new one and also reuse / while preserve /home and /data. Is this doable without lot of work? -- Regards Jon Ingason
