Hi everybody in Debian ARM-land, I am currently fighting with a problem rebooting my vanilla Debian Raspberry Pi and I am hoping for suggestions on how to solve or at least pinpoint the problem to file a sensible bug report.
I am booting my new Pi 4 from UEFI, basically my setup is like https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=282839 UEFI firmware is current, I think: [ 0.124058] DMI: Raspberry Pi Foundation Raspberry Pi 4 Model B/Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, BIOS UEFI Firmware v1.22 01/06/2021 I have enabled 8GB RAM in UEFI setup, other than that it is all defaults. Boot (and only volume) is an externally enclosed Disk root@new-pi:~# hdparm -I /dev/sda /dev/sda: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: WDC WD10JPVX-08JC3T5 Serial Number: WD-WX91A1457363 Firmware Revision: 05.01A05 Transport: Serial, SATA 1.0a, SATA II Extensions, SATA Rev 2.5, SATA Rev 2.6, SATA Rev 3.0 ... My problem is that each time I reboot (using shutdown -r now) my system boots into an initrd shell asking me to fsck /dev/sda3 Possibly related log entry: [71871.232010] systemd-journald[234]: File /var/log/journal/9e7cc5c0ef634792939dbf88b62a7a84/user-1000.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing. root@new-pi:~# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 16M 0 part ├─sda2 8:2 0 400M 0 part /boot/efi ├─sda3 8:3 0 119.2G 0 part / └─sda4 8:4 0 14.9G 0 part [SWAP] Kernel is the current one from bullseye: Linux new-pi.h5.or.at 5.10.0-5-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.24-1 (2021-03- 19) aarch64 GNU/Linux other than this reboot problem the system seems fine and is up for days and weeks (well ventillated with a small heatsink) with light load, but I cannot take it into "production" without it being rebootable. Any suggestions? Or ARM64 unrelated hardware problem? Should I just swap the Disk? Do some stress/memory testing? TIA /ralph -- other than that the ARM64 on RPi4 experience is amazing, thanks everybody involved!
