After 14 years I installed Ubuntu on a PC again. Chose because I want to play music and use real-time guitar effects.
So far: kernel panics, broken updates, and hours wasted configuring my M-Audio sound card.
I was almost starting to regret it... 🫩

EDIT: it's not the virtio driver. This VM has 1G ram. If increased to 2G, it will boot. It seems it's the intramfs unable to decompress. And it's strange.

I've just upgraded my Proxmox Backup Server, running inside a bhyve VM on FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE, and it now kernel panics as soon as it boots.

Setup:
- Host: FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE
- Guest Kernel: Linux 7.0
- NIC: virtio-net

Workarounds tested:
- Removing the network device: boots successfully
- Changing the NIC to e1000: boots successfully

This seems to point to a virtio-net issue with this kernel under bhyve.

Has anyone else noticed this?

TIL: you can manually initiate a kernel panic on a Mac OS X system by running the following command:
sudo dtrace -v -n “BEGIN{panic();}”

#macos #macosx #kernel #kernelpanic #crash #bsod

<error.sys.panic>

Trying to build a GUI Linux distro with Buildroot. Just Buildroot. No Debian, no Arch. Just pain 🫩

Xorg? Black screen. Wayland? Sounds like a fantasy novel. Kernel panic? Oh yeah, got that too 🫨

But I will make this work, because minimalism deserves a desktop 🤟🏻
