    I can’t boot with kernel 6.14, it gets stuck almost instantly, but I can reboot by hitting ctrl alt del, 6.13 works fine

Welcome! We are glad to see you here and we will try to get through your issue.

Are you using Nvidia?

Ok…That was my guess. You can always use 6.13 (imho it is better than 6.14)

To get evidence for why kernel-desktop-6.14.0-3 is not booting: Boot in to this kernel, then when you boot in to kernel-desktop-6.13.7-1 open Konsole or other terminal and run:

journalctl -b -1 > journal-no-boot.txt

The -b -1 options show the journal of the previous boot attempt. Post the journal-no-boot.txt file here. The journal log will tell us any kernel errors produced.

You could also try booting in to regular Plasma6 desktop instead of using this, maybe some module is missing form kernel 6.14.0. If so would be good to find out now.

Edit: To my knowledge it is not common for these to be installed unless you need them I would remove them.

kernel-desktop-modules-hfs-6.13.7-1.x86_64
kernel-desktop-modules-hfs-6.14.0-3.x86_64

Handy hint before we get caught by the forum police, read this, don’t we to see anyone getting their knuckles knocked by jack booted forum mods.

I couldn’t post the whole log due to a too many characters error, so hopefully this will work

Is this a steam deck?

No, its a desktop, I just have a steam controller USB dongle plugged in

First thing I see is this 6.14.0-desktop-0.rc7.2omv2590, If I remember correctly that one does not work plus it is a kernel-desktop-rc (release candidate) and should not be on your system. I think that kernel got pulled in somehow by hfs and hfs is something ancient and also should be removed unless you know you need it for something. sudo dnf rm kernel-desktop-rc hfs should do it.

kernel-desktop-6.14.0-3 is the one we want to work with for problem solving, at least until we get a newer kernel version.

That is definitely something. What the heck is adb doing there? Isn’t that android debug bridge? On a pc?

I suggest we try this again, being sure to use kernel-desktop-6.14.0-3 using this command:

journalctl -b -1 > journal-no-boot-2.txt

and we want to get all the data. If you need to do files for 2nd file rename it journal-no-boot-3.txt so are files have different names and we can keep thing straight.

Note: I believe devs removed hfs from the system package list for OMLx systems recently because it is obsolete.

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll try them when I get home, I installed adb tools so I can flash bootloaders on my phone, I don’t know how an RC kernel got on my system, I did the OS install from one of the spins

So upon further inspection I don’t appear to have an RC kernel installed, so I don’t know why the journal lists it as 6.14.0-desktop-0.rc7.2omv2590

These are the kernels I have installed

kernel-desktop-6.12.6-1.x86_64
kernel-desktop-6.13.7-1.x86_64
kernel-desktop-6.14.0-3.x86_64

Edit: So I did have a RC kernel installed, it was just called kernel-rc-desktop, not kernel-desktop-rc, I also reinstalled 6.14, but it still gets stuck on boot, it doesn’t even make it to the loading ramdisk text, but now when I run journalctl -b -1 > journal-no-boot.txt it prints the boot log from kernel 6.13.7 despite the previous boot attempt being from 6.14

I have the same problem with this kernel, but the server variety. I try to attach the log.
boot614server.txt (126,1 KB)

same issue here. I guess my update of logs won’t help as there are already enough logs here. Let me know if you need mine too.

6.13.7-desktop-1omv2590 works.
6.14.0 does not.

Everyone hold tight. @bero is swapping us back to 6.13.9 and it is compiling now. It will probably be a couple hours and a dsyc will get everyone back to normal. :grinning:

So for now boot using kernel-desktop-6.13.7 and remove any kernel 6.14 versions you have currently.

If anyone wants to install something right now you can download kernel-desktop-6.13.8 from here and install that. Don’t forget kernel-headers-6.13.8 or kernel-desktop-devel–6.13.8 if you happen to use one of those.

Edit: I just installed 6.13.8 and removed 6.14 on my hardware Cooker and ROME systems. Another problem we had seen with 6.14 was not Virtual Terminals or VT’s and that is a blocker. (Ctrl>Alt>F3, ect. gotta have it)

So I received the 6.13.9 update and it doesn’t boot either, it just displays the loading kernel text for about 30 seconds before rebooting, it doesn’t even make it to the loading initial ramdisk text, and I can’t provide a log either because journalctl -b -1 > journal-no-boot.txt shows the log from 6.13.7, its like systemd has no recollection of ever booting 6.13.9 or 6.14

Hi all!

In my case 6.14-rc come with update right after fresh install.

@ben79, I would like to suggest to place -rc kernels in “testing” repo, because they are intended for testing, and to not to pollute the main repository.

And 6.14 work flawlessly for me, and I was very surprised when it dissapear from repo, because it important for me as Intel ARC GPU owner.

I can’t even boot 6.13.9, though 6.13.7 works just fine

Any logs?
