B3: problem with 4.11 (and 4.12-rc3 mainline) kernels / sata_mv
Posted: 02 Jun 2017, 10:07
Hi,
there appears to be a problem with the >= 4.11 linux kernel on the B3, which is preventing the sata kernel drivers starting up properly. From dmesg:
If you are running arch on your B3, this may already have affected you (as the linux-kirkwood-dt package has recently migrated to 4.11). The net result is that the HDD is not recognized, which may then cause a boot failure (e.g. systemd failing to complete mounting all /etc/fstab partitions).
If you are running arch on your B3, and this has not yet affected you, I recommend pinning your current kernel in place now, so it is not affected by any subsequent pacman -Syu. Issue:
and uncomment the IgnorePkg line, then modifying it so it reads:
save, and exit nano. Done.
I'm going to do a kernel bisect on this to find the offending commit, but I won't have time for that for a week or so.
Best, sakaki
