Error cannot allocate kernel buffer

I have a Dell 9570 XPS laptop with latest BIOS (1.13.0) and I am trying to do a clean install of Ubuntu 19.10 from a flash drive. It is failing from two flash drives, one USB and one USB-C, with these steps.

1. Reboot with flash drive inserted.
2. Hit F12 and select flash drive as boot option (under UEFI).
3. Grub screen loads, select any install / try option (with or without safe graphics)

Fails with:

error: cannot allocate kernel buffer.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

press any key to continue...

Pressing any key takes me back to the grub selection screen. I am able to load a grub command line.

I have tried all combinations of secure boot, fast boot, legacy rom mode / legacy BIOS boot I can think of. Nothing has an impact except booting the flash drive via LEGACY EXTERNAL DEVICE BOOT, which loads the grub selection screen with nice graphics, and will successfully complete the installer.

However, I cannot then boot from the hard drive and even if I could, I want to use UEFI and secure boot.

Googling «cannot allocate kernel buffer» finds nothing that seems relevant.

Update:

I also tried installing off a 19.04 USB stick, which does work. I installed 19.04, then upgraded to 19.10. However, 19.10 then fails to boot with the same error.

I also tried creating the usb install from windows with Rufus, rather than with Startup Disk Creator from Ubuntu. Same issue.

It also seems to be now flashing briefly error: file /boot/ not found, before it hits the grub installer option screen.. Actually, this seems to only occur when booting from USB-C flash drive, not from USB.

I also.. tried from a Dell XPS 7590 with BIOS 1.2.3 and the USB stick boots fine. This be specific to my hardware / BIOS config / BIOS version somehow. I guess I will wait until either a new 19.10 release comes out, or my BIOS gets a new version.

Update: 1.14.0 BIOS version made no difference.

[РЕШЕНО] grub error: you need to load kernel first

Вечер добрый, друзья. С этой ошибкой столкнулся 3 дня назад. Все эти 3 дня подряд я не могу ничего поставить/переустановить. Кругом либо сразу же пишет grub error: you need to load kernel first , либо то, что на скрине, после чего установка не продолжается, если нажать Yes . Изначально поставил себе убунту 20.04, вместо винды, и всё поставилось с первого раза и без приключений, то есть я записал образ через balenaEtcher, вставил флешку в комп и всё заработало, а через какое-то время решил поставить себе какой-нибудь другой дистрибутив и понеслось… Такое ощущение, что мне будто бы подменили компьютер. Пробовал ставить Debian, ParrotOS (home и security), Ubuntu 20.10, Mint. Даже арч пробовал по совету друга, но и там меня ждала эта беда! Делал через dd, Rufus, Unetbootin, win32diskimager, убунтовский Startup Disk Creator но всё безуспешно!( Я на 100% уверен, что дело даже не во флешке, потому что до этого я ставил себе через неё же на другой компьютер винду и ElementaryOS. Никаких проблем не было, но тут как-то всё идёт против меня. На компьютере у меня стоит VisualBIOS 2.2.17. Ниже прикреплю некоторые скриншоты из него тут

С одной стороны у тебя uefi, а с другой… Сними галочку с legacy Boot.

[РЕШЕНО]

Спасибо огромное! Снял галочку с legacy boot, перезагрузился и всё заработало!

Unable to boot ubuntu 19.10 or newer on dell xps 9570

Bug Description

Since updating my dell xps 9570 (latest BIOS 1.15.0 and a few previous versions) from 19.04 to 19.10 I have been unable to boot ubuntu. It fails with the following error quickly flashing:

error: file `/boot/` not found

Then followed by:

error: cannot allocate kernel buffer.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

press any key to continue.

This occurs when doing an update from 19.04 to 19.10 and also when just booting off a usb drive with 19.10.

When booting off the usb drive. The first error flashes quickly before displaying the usb installer options. Selecting any install / boot option results in the second error about kernel buffer.

I have tried all combinations of bios settings I can think of, such as toggling secure boot and other options. The only thing that made a difference is booting via USB with LEGACY EXTERNAL DEVICE BOOT. This allows the installer to complete, but I cannot then boot off the hard drive.

I have tried the same USB drive with 19.10 on a Dell XPS 7590 with BIOS 1.2.3 and the USB stick boots fine. I have also tried many different USB drives on my 9570.

I have tried a few daily builds of 20.04 with the same result. I tested with 20.04 beta as well.

Note: 19.04 and earlier continues to work no problem.

Cannot allocate memory #11420

Vagrant version

Host operating system

Windows 10 (1809)
Virtualbox 6.1.4

Guest operating system

Vagrantfile

Debug output

Expected behavior

The public key should be successfully inserted and the vm should finish upping.

Actual behavior

An error is encountered ( C:/HashiCorp/Vagrant/embedded/gems/2.2.6/gems/net-scp-1.2.1/lib/net/scp.rb:398:in `await_response_state’: �scp: /tmp/vagrant-insert-pubkey-1572381127: Cannot allocate memory (RuntimeError) ) while inserting the public key and the vm is deleted.

Steps to reproduce

1. using the included vagrantfile, run vagrant up

Note that it doesn’t seem to happen every time. It was happening every time I upped the included vagrantfile, but when I tried to run in debug mode it worked the first time, but then encountered the error the next time I ran it. My host machine has plenty of ram (32GB total, only using

13GB) and the error seems to occur more often the higher the memory is set (e.g. happens a lot with v.memory = 8192 , doesn’t seem to ever happen with v.memory=1024 ).

Also important to note is that this error doesn’t seem to occur when using a different oracle 7 box, e.g. generic/oracle7 . It was only after we switched to bento/oracle-7 that we started seeing this error. I’m opening this issue here because it seems to be falling on vagrant’s side, but I can open an issue with bento if it’s determined to be an issue with the way they’re creating boxes.

References

Seems to be the same error as #11166 (and the guest OS I’m running, Oracle 7, is based on the guest OS they were running, CentOS 7).

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
