@TJ - Thanks for pointing that out. I was indeed using the wrong kernel version.
With the test kernel it works perfectly. Does anyone know how to engage someone from Canonical Kernel team to get this merged for Noble?

Test Machine ============= Rockchip RK3399 based RockPro64 with latest u-boot 2024.07-rc3 in EFI mode booting grubaa64.efi Reproduced on ============== Ubuntu 22.04.4 with Linux HWE Proposed 6.8 Ubuntu 24.04 with Linux 6.8 Works on ========= Ubuntu 22.04.4 with Linux 5.15, 6.6, 6.7, 6.9 Steps to reproduce ==================== 1. Install Ubuntu 24.04 which comes with Linux 6.8 by default or Ubuntu 22.04.4 install Linux HWE 6.8 from https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel- team/+archive/ubuntu/proposed?field.series_filter=jammy 2. Edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and add the following param to any boot entry with Linux 6.8 testparam=f081c381e7b54edcba27e5f790d47911a4cc3e726d8d256878d3df9175c020e0f081c381e7b54edcba27e5f790d47911a4cc3e726d8d256878d3df9175c020e0f081c381e7b5 3. Reboot the machine and select the boot entry in grub with the testparam as above. 4. Observe kernel never boots. Cause ======== After bisecting the kernel, I found that the bug was introduced in Linux 6.8-rc1 ( and released in Linux 6.8 ) with commit commit dc3f5aae06381b43bc9d0d416bd15ee1682940e9 Author: Ard Biesheuvel <a...@kernel.org> Date: Wed Nov 29 12:16:12 2023 +0100 arm64: idreg-override: Avoid parameq() and parameqn() This got fixed with Linux 6.9-rc1 and released in Linux 6.9 as part of rework commit e223a449125571daa62debd8249fa4fc2da0a961 Author: Ard Biesheuvel <a...@kernel.org> Date: Wed Feb 14 13:28:50 2024 +0100 arm64: idreg-override: Move to early mini C runtime That got merged to Linux 6.9-rc1 with commit commit 6d75c6f40a03c97e1ecd683ae54e249abb9d922b Merge: fe46a7dd189e 1ef21fcd6a50 Author: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org> Date: Thu Mar 14 15:35:42 2024 -0700 Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux Fix Options ============= Option 1. For Linux 6.8 the safest fix would be to revert commit dc3f5aae06381b43bc9d0d416bd15ee1682940e9 Author: Ard Biesheuvel <a...@kernel.org> Date: Wed Nov 29 12:16:12 2023 +0100 arm64: idreg-override: Avoid parameq() and parameqn() Option 2. Unless Ubuntu Team is interested in bringing the whole Mini C Runtime rework to Linux 6.8 with commit 6d75c6f40a03c97e1ecd683ae54e249abb9d922b Merge: fe46a7dd189e 1ef21fcd6a50 Author: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org> Date: Thu Mar 14 15:35:42 2024 -0700 Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux Please revert the change in Linux 6.8 Thanks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2069534/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
