[Bug 2153412] Re: Boot failure in 24.04.4 LTS after 6.8.0-117-generic upgrade

Hi Richard, Did you know where is the nvidia module from? From normal module package or dkms? BR An -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to linux in Ubuntu.

Freezes at black screen or screen with Ubuntu text. Diagnostics (ChatGPT assisted) included this conclusion: +++Diagnostic+++ The failed boot’s journal simply stops abruptly at 09:25:12, while systemd is still in very early boot, just after starting Plymouth and flushing the journal to disk. There is no later evidence of reaching normal multi-user startup, let alone GDM. That makes this look like a hard freeze during early boot: The NVIDIA 470 modules do load. The machine then continues briefly through early device and systemd initialization. Logging stops suddenly before the display manager starts. (A separate user with Ubuntu 24.04.4, kernel 6.8.0-117, and an older NVIDIA GT 710 reports a strikingly similar failure, with 6.8.0-111 still working.) Kernel 6.8.0-117 is likely triggering a low-level regression on older NVIDIA 470-series systems, causing a freeze during early graphics- related boot initialization. ++++++++++summary+++++++++++++ Regression: 6.8.0-111-generic boots; 6.8.0-117-generic hard-freezes. GPU/driver: GeForce GT 730 GK208B, nvidia-driver-470 470.256.02. Symptoms: DP screens black/frozen splash, DVI screen multicolored stripes. Logs: NVIDIA module loads successfully; journal stops abruptly during early boot before GDM. Topology test: unplugging DVI or DisplayPort did not change the failure.
