Hi Peter,

Many thanks for your nice screenshot!
It’s good to know that the RC6 works on your X1000.

Cheers,

Hi Christian
I have tried to boot kernel 5.12 rc7 but the kernel can not identify sata 4 (my linux hard drive).
Have new formatted my usbdisk with Fat 16. no luck. When I afterwards start the same partition with kernel 5.11 all errors are gone. Therefore, I believe that it is the kernel that is the problem.
Have a nice day
Peter

Hi Christian
I have tried to boot kernel 5.12 rc7 but the kernel can not identify sata 4 (my linux hard drive).

Does sata 4 work with the RC6?
Could you please post some error messages?

Strange, I don't have sata 4. I have sata 0 - 3. Do you mean sata 3? Maybe you mean ata4 because sata 3 on the Nemo board is ata4 on Linux. I can boot from ata4.

dmesg | grep -i sata

I think your Linux partitions are on sdc.

Please post the output of dmesg | grep sdc.

Thanks a lot for testing!

Hi Peter,

Strange because I can boot from sata 3 (ata 4). I need some error messages for solving the issue.

Please boot with the RC7. After that with the RC6.

Please post the outputs of the following commands:

Code: Select all

# grep -i "Linux version" /var/log/kern.log
# grep -i sata /var/log/kern.log
# grep -i sdc /var/log/kern.log

Thanks,
Christian

Hi Christian
Just a question. Is it the disk sdc or the partition sdc5

[xeno74]

Hi Christian

Disk sdc for the grep command. For the boot args you need "root=/dev/sdc5".

Hi Christian
yes right now i am in the strange situation that both mint and fedora boot on 5.12 / rc7 completely without error.
I have some time ago made the discovery that my power cables to my hard drive have periodic problems supplying power.
I have tried to change the cables and have not had those problems since but there could be a connection.
Just weird for the error was not there when I used my kernel 5.11.
But as it is now Mintppc boot and Fedora boot without any problems
Have a nice day

Good to know. What about to buy a new power supply?
