Thanks for this - I tried it and it exhibits the same "hang" on boot as my build of 6.4.7 does.
The problem does however seem to be specific to my desktop - Dell Precision T5400 with Intel Xeon processors

I also tried the 6.5-rc4 produced by neko - again thanks - and that boots OK........

If this issue of kernel config you can try to check it via option compile with the config of only your PC driver :ONLY

well mkkernel into the porteux don't work the last version i have done the old way to build it but work on porteux current:
Linux version 6.4.7-porteus (gcc (GCC) 13.2.0, GNU ld version 2.40-slack151) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Jul 31 02:37:46 CEST 2023

Could you guys try this kernel 6.3.13 and check if it shutdowns/reboots properly (i.e. union is not mounted as read-only because it fails to unmount; reference)?

Please note that the goal of this kernel is not to provide support to all devices -- it may not be usable for most users. The idea here is only to check for the above issue and see if it got fixed.

Thanks

Hi fulalas, can you upload your kernel on another cloud?
I have sanctions from we.tl service.
BTW not bad if you share patchs what you applied.

[fulalas]

@Blaze, try this one: https://www.mediafire.com/file/cxxmg3lv ... 6.3.13.zip

The patches are all in this thread: https://github.com/sfjro/aufs-standalone/issues/29

This thread is primarily intended to provide a tool (kernel builder) to easily build kernels.
I'm sorry, but I don't have the skills to accomplish what you said.


Thanks.

fulalas, awesome!

I don't have anymore issue with unmount union at shutdowns/reboots.
I shake your hand

neko, a new kernel-firmware-20230731_253cc17-noarch-1.txz are available.

Thanks.

Wow!! A very impressive thread.

I don't have anymore issue with unmount union at shutdowns/reboots.

extraneous confirmation here, for EXT4, at least. thankyou to J. R. Okajima and fulalas.

during testing, i've noticed that when using EXT2, there's an unclean dismount issue, that if kernel related, affects a wider range of kernels(including the patched one)
testing with an old porteus 4.0 installation(with an old kernel), there's no problem.. have yet to try a newer kernel with that, which might eliminate the kernel angle.

[Blaze]

Hm, I use EXT2 and not have this issue.

[ncmprhnsbl]

Hm, I use EXT2 and not have this issue.

yeah, just tested porteus 4.0 ext2 and the patched 6.3 and it seems fine.. something else is going on here.. maybe the usbs are dodgy..

[Blaze]

Ok, I tested EXT2 FS and Porteus 5.0 with kernel 6.3.13 (fulalas build) on nootebook that given to me for repair. I don't have any errors when reboot or halt it.

FWIW......

My boot problem with 6.4.7 onwards (nouveau with Nvidia Gt218) was caused by:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke ... id2=v6.4.6

Reverting uconn.c to the 6.4.6 version solved the problem pro tem ..... I will monitor future releases for a permanent fix.

Hi neko.

Seems J. R. Okajima updated aufs patch - https://github.com/sfjro/aufs-standalon ... it-d248a62
Not bad if you update Porteus Kernel Builder with this patch.

A new kernel-firmware-20230809_789aa81-noarch-1.txz are available.

Thanks.
