Title:
Complete System Halt on HP Proliant 380e Gen8 since 5.4.0-40
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I experienced two complete system freezes today after updating to new
kernel 5.4.0-40
Additional Information: I bought a new (used) server about two months ago
which replaced an older HP Workstation used as server. Before, I used to
install ubuntu mainline kernel regularly, mainly out of my own interest.
Being lazy, I did not set up the server with a new OS but used the old Ubuntu
HDD in the new server - it booted up just fine. But then out of a sudden,
freezes started - complete system halts, no direct console access possible, not
even a message on the screen what happened, simply a complete halt.
I can access the server via ilo - ilo tells me that there are no
errors, after resetting, it boots up like normal, but before reset
operating system is entirely stalled.
I solved the problem uninstalling any mainline kernels and sticking to
kernel version shipped with ubuntu 20.04 LTS, which made the system
rock solid (rebooting server for new kernel versions is about every x
days, so we can argue what rock solid is, it did not have an uptime of
100 days) but while using 5.4. kernel branch shipped with focal, I had
no single freeze at all - until today, twice, one about 10 hours after
booting into 5.4.40, second one 1 hour after first one.
I now went back to 5.4.39 and until now - it is stable again without
any freeze.
I have no real idea what this could be, my assumption while not using
mainline kernel was, that it has something to do with migitations
against cpu bugs. So if my theory is correct it could be something
already implemented in more recent kernel versions but not implemented
into 5.4 before 5.4.40.
I did not find any bug report similar to this - just hoping it is not
an extremely special case concerning this server with this cpu...
If I can assist in any way - just drop me a note.
Thank you in advance
Simon
