Hello, kernel test robot noticed "Kernel_panic-not_syncing:No_working_init_found" on: commit: 0a81ac5ba5b985c0803c4f0d9272578fc7b1d361 ("serial: 8250: Switch to nbcon console") https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-6.8.y-rt in testcase: boot compiler: clang-17 test machine: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu SandyBridge -smp 2 -m 16G (please refer to attached dmesg/kmsg for entire log/backtrace) we cannot connect the issue with the code, but by more runs, the issue still shows on this commit and keeps clean on parent. we also noticed the issue doesn't always happen on this commit, as below, happens 15 times out of 20 runs. dd0b9d75b0ea983e 0a81ac5ba5b985c0803c4f0d927 ---------------- --------------------------- fail:runs %reproduction fail:runs | | | :20 75% 15:20 dmesg.Kernel_panic-not_syncing:No_working_init_found :20 75% 15:20 dmesg.boot_failures If you fix the issue in a separate patch/commit (i.e. not just a new version of the same patch/commit), kindly add following tags | Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@xxxxxxxxx> | Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202402052207.a61afe51-lkp@xxxxxxxxx [ 217.891235][ T1] LKP_SERVER=internal-lkp-server [ 217.892392][ T1] selinux=0 [ 217.893299][ T1] prompt_ramdisk=0 [ 217.894242][ T1] vga=normal [ 217.930082][ T1] Starting init: /bin/sh exists but couldn't execute it (error -8) [ 217.931991][ T1] Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.
