Unbootable system after an update

[khallebal]

Updated from hrev52983 to hrev53029, system hangs at the rocket icon. syslog attached.

package_daemon [56424566:   322] Failed to open packages activation file: No such file or directory
package_daemon [56435530:   322] Failed to get activated packages info from activated packages file. Assuming all package files in package directory are activated.

It seems strange that there is no activation file after the upgrade, pkgman should have made one. Are you sure there was not some FS corruption?

Oh, never mind:

package_daemon [50611840:   322] An old packages state ("state_2019-04-04_15:48:42") seems to be active.

You seem to have attached a syslog from the successful boot into the old state. That will not be very helpful in determining what's happening here...

Someone confirmed on IRC that hrev53026 booted OK on their hardware. So if that is truly the case for everyone, the problem must be hrev53027, because hrev53028 & hrev53029 don't touch any code. That doesn't make any sense at all...

Well, bad news: hrev53033 boots just fine here. So I don't know what's going on.

1650	Launching x-vnd.haiku-app_server failed: Symbol not found

2835	[atheroswifi] (ath) ath_legacy_rx_tasklet: sc_inreset_cnt > 0; skipping

I don't know what make of these 2 lines, the second one is the last in the onscreen debug, the boot process doesn't go farther than that.

runtime_loader: /boot/system/lib/libxml2.so.2.9.9: Could not resolve symbol '__builtin_clzll'
runtime_loader: /boot/system/lib/libxml2.so.2.9.9: Troubles relocating: Symbol not found

Ah, now that explains why I couldn't reproduce: I only update haiku.hpkg, not the XML library.

Hello,

I've got the same problem. I updated machine with 32 bit hrev53042 (with hrev53029 and hrev53026 too) and it becomes unbootable. It stops at Haiku Boot Loader debug menu. 1st line says Select boot volume (Current: None). I reverted machine to hrev53013 and it boots normally.

Please don't post full syslogs inline, it makes reading tickets painful. Please edit your comment to remove it and attach it as a file instead. Besides, if it's the syslog of the working version it's not really useful anyway.

We already confirmed the bug was fixed. Make sure you did update all the packages, and not just the base one, since the bug was in libxml. Make sure you updated libxml2 to 2.9.9-3.

It might not be the same bug. In which case you should open a new ticket instead of reopening this one.

[waddlesplash]

Yes, this is not the same bug, there is no "app_server" message. It looks like you have intel_extreme; possibly the recent change there broke things.
