hi! I am strugling with a stable kernel for sophgo 2042. We have a single working kernel config that sort of works (except nvme timeouts occationally). does anyone have a recent kernel for milk-v pioneer?

BootLayer has quit [Quit: Leaving]

<courmisch>
well that didn't work
<courmisch>
do I need a new SBI or a new DTB or what
<Tenkawa>
What are you trying to do?
<courmisch>
update from vendor 6.1 to vendor 6.6 kernel
<Tenkawa>
Oh.. just going from the kernels didnt?
<Tenkawa>
didnt boot?
<courmisch>
it did "boot", but then it locked up
<Tenkawa>
I'm about to try it here
test925 has joined #riscv
<Tenkawa>
granted mine is on a Star64 so I usually get erratic results at best
<la_mettrie>
i remember some official kernel building instructions omited some important stages (that are included in general debian building instructions)
<courmisch>
soft lockup at sifive_ccache_flush_range+0x50/0x88
<Tenkawa>
(I think you knew my VF2 crashed completely)
<Tenkawa>
I'm transferring over a compile I just did to see what happens here
<courmisch>
I literally just recompiled the kernel, so it could be out of sync with the boot loader, SBI or just the DTB

I pulled all of the trees so I might update them all if it does that on mine
<Tenkawa>
(fortuately I'm running grub so I can still boot to the backup kernel)
<Tenkawa>
er fortunately
<courmisch>
you can also do that with u-boot distro boot from vendor
<Tenkawa>
Yeah I know.... but a lot more pain
<Tenkawa>
heheh
<Tenkawa>
I like ... easy
<courmisch>
compared to K230, it's easy
<Tenkawa>
this also gives me many more "fixed" debug options I can stage and just "select and go"
<Tenkawa>
I actually was a proponent of extlinux.... but I'm becoming much more comfortable with Grub again after not using it in 10-15 years

nah, nothing beats LOADLIN.EXE in the CONFIG.SYS boot menu
<Tenkawa>
lol... indeed
Starfoxxes has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
<courmisch>
new DTB did not help
<Tenkawa>
that is indeed odd..
<courmisch>
locks up instead of starting init
<Tenkawa>
well mine had completely the wrong config from gut
<Tenkawa>
er git

pulling mine from my live box and recompling
<Tenkawa>
it didn't define starfive/sifive at all for some reason
