Bug#1053929: linux-image-amd64: kernel fails to find all nvme SSDs

2023-10-24 Thread Jeffrey Mark Siskind
Supermicro provided a workaround: boot with the kernel command line parameter pci=realloc=off. As an side, Rocky 9.2 does not have this issue even though it boots without that kernel command line parameter. Jeff (http: //engineering.purdue.edu/~qobi)

I filed bugs 1053927 and 1053929 with reportbug against linux-image-amd64. Reportbug suggested that I file against a specific kernel version package, not a metapackge. But I filed against the metapackage because both bug affect multiple kernel versions. Should I refile? Or should they be moved? B

R815 machine checks under jessie

Jerry - I had some communication with you about a year ago. I have four R815s. They have been running Debian since purchase about 6 years ago. I upgraded from wheezy to jessie about a year ago. For the past year, all four exhibit sporadic machine checks that cause them to crash. I never observed t

machine checks on Dell R815 under jessie

I upgraded four Dell R815s from wheezy to jessie a few weeks ago. Prior to the upgrade, they were running reliably for about 5 years. Since the upgrade, two machines have been getting periodic machine checks. The machines boot fine and run for a day or more. The machine checks appear to happen spor

The non-determinism in which identifiers are shown might be a bug in the installer, or it might be caused by failure of ID commands to the drives. I think most of the problems you're still having must be caused by a bug in the RAID driver, mpt2sas (or its firmware, if that's not

I'd like to thank everyone for helping out. Here is an update on installing jessie on R815s. I succeeded in installing on three of my four R815s. But I am holding off on the last because it is my file server and there are still issues. Please read on. I don't believe that the problem is solved an

Please note that bootint with rootdelay=20 does not solve the problem. It only masks it. 1. If I attempt a fresh USB install of jessie, when md0 is correctly built before the install, the process of doing the fresh install breaks md0. When it gets to grub install, components of md0 are mi

I conjecture that there may be two to five separate issues. 1. Setting up md0 upon boot takes a long time. rootdelay=20 fixes this. 2. There is a problem writing to disk. Perhaps just writing to certain blocks. Because even when the machine boots with rootdelay=20, and md0 has all 6 comp

This is the separate lesser issue I hinted at in an earlier post. I also upgraded my four Dell Poweredge C6145s. A fresh install of wheezy was successfull on those.
