Summary0004834: Blank screen since kernel 4.16.16 update
Description

Since the last kernel update it does not boot correctly:

The screen is black and Ctrl-Alt-[number] does not work for non graphical consoles.

Downgrading to 4.16.12 resolve the issue.

I am able to reproduce the issue on two computers (a notebook HP Zbook 15G3 with a Nvidia card ans a dekstop computer also with a Nvidia card).

Some logs:

Tested on another laptop with Intel graphics: 4.16.16 works fine.
Seems to be related to Nvidia driver ...

This is also reported here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1570493

It's a problem in the nvidia driver. Either we need to update the driver to version 396.24 or apply the patch in the above bug.

Or modify the kernel configuration to set CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY_FALLBACK.

You can also boot with the kernel parameter slab_common.usercopy_fallback=Y and it should work again.

I confirm slab_common.usercopy_fallback=Y workaround on boot works.

Thanks !

I was able to workaround this issue by implementing the slab_common.usercopy_fallback=y workaround, using the following steps:

  1. Edit the file /etc/default/grub on the line reading:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

to add the following text:
"slab_common.usercopy_fallback=y"

The line should now read:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="slab_common.usercopy_fallback=y"

  1. Update the grub bootloader using the following syntax, and reboot.
    update-grub

Also discovered an identical issue, here:
