Hi, ChenYu,

thanks for for the help. I tried to use "root=PARTUUID=a09ef512-7f29-47b8-8e9a-db5d1d58d8be" in kernel boot parameters,
the new log is here  https://pastebin.com/EL3uaRpE.

Nothing has actually changed, the only difference  is that it now says:

[    1.750270] Waiting for root device PARTUUID=a09ef512-7f29-47b8-8e9a-db5d1d58d8be...


I verified that a09ef512-7f29-47b8-8e9a-db5d1d58d8be is the actual partition id from my sdcard.


Thank you,
Sergey

Hi, ChenYu,

I have tried to build and run linux-next by tag "next-20201117".
Now the boot log looks different but the kernel still hangs. See
https://pastebin.com/gFk7XuBc
Due to the new asynchronous probing of mmc controllers, the mmcblock
device numbers likely have changed, as seen here:

[ 1.652275] mmc1: new high speed SDHC card at address 0001
[ 1.652568] hub 1-1:1.0: USB hub found
[ 1.658587] mmcblk1: mmc1:0001 EB1QT 29.8 GiB
[ 1.661777] hub 1-1:1.0: 4 ports detected
[ 1.670263] mmcblk1: p1

You should change your root device specification to use PARTUUID,
instead of hardcoding the index.

Thank you,

Hi,

Please try linux-next. There were some regulator fixes that got merged recently.
One of them fixes an infinite recursion when resolving regulator supplies.

Hi, Maxime,

it just hangs on that last lines and nothing happens anymore, see 5.18 log.

Hi,

I noticed that BananaPi M2 (A31 SoC) does not boot anymore on modern
kernels. The problem arises somewhere between 5.7.19 - 5.8.18. I have saved
boot logs for both versions https://pastebin.com/DTRZi8R7 and
https://pastebin.com/PS2hq07A. Logs have been taken on clean/non-patched
kernel with default config, u-boot v2020.10.

The kernel versions 5.7.x and below work well (I tried 5.5.19 and 5.6.19).
The versions 5.8.18 and above all fail (5.9 and 5.10).

Could you look at the problem or provide an advice about further
investigation, please ?
I'm not quite sure what the issue is exactly? How does it fail to boot?
