<![CDATA[[Halium 9 Kernel Patching][GSI] Ubports fails to boot]]>About 4 days ago I began to patch my phone's kernel to boot Ubports GSIs made by xda user Erfan.

Now I'm stuck with a device that doesn't boot into Ubports, I've contacted Erfan in the Halium support group over Telegram but even he, didn't manage to help find the source of the reboots.

What happens: After I flash the patched kernel, halium-ramdisk, and apparmor-enabler zip files and reboot, the phone hangs at the "Android One" logo (or boot logo) then it vibrates once and it reboots itself. I've captured the last_kmsg and first, we thought there was a problem where the kernel panics on not finding the vibrator firmware which we got rid of using a flashable zip sent by him but even with it the OS didn't successfully boot.

Maybe someone from this forum has an idea of why does this happen and what the fix could be?

Device: Motorola One Vision
CPU: Exynos 9610

Kernel Source Code: https://github.com/nitanmarcel/android_kernel_motorola_exynos9610/tree/halium-9.0
Last_kmsg: https://del.dog/last_kmsg_kane

dmesg: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JBwm33jz6s/
lxc-checkconfig: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HVWmTjW9BP/

Finally. I edited every upstart config to get this :))

Also using ssh -vvvv -p22 phablet@10.15.19.82 /bin/bash -i --noprofile --norc doesn't seem to freeze my terminal but it still hangs

pre start script
  lxc-checkconfig >> /home/phablet/lxcout.txt
  exec /usr/sbin/sshd -D -o PasswordAuthentication=yes
end script

Am I doing something wrong?

Instead of using ssh can't we just make a script to run the command at boot and then store it to a file? like lxc-checkconfig >> /home/phablet/lxc-checkconfig

I've tried your fix but it still get's stuck after I enter my password and the same thing happens as before with lxc. The phone reboot then goes into a bootloop as soon as the phone starts

mkdir /a
mount /data/rootfs.img /a
echo manual |tee /a/etc/init/rsyslog.override
umount /a
sync
we disable syslog daemon for a while, see if that unblocks ssh

We must prevent any interaction with cgroups and lxc. And we need to get the output of lxc-checkconfig (its not a file, rather you call this on the console)
