Package: xen-hypervisor-4.11-amd64 Version: 4.11.3+24-g14b62ab3e5-1~deb10u1 Severity: important
Dear Maintainer, After updating to Buster and Xen 4.11 our machine no longer boots the Xen kernel. The default kernel 4.19.118-2+deb10u1 boots normally. The machine has an Areca 1882IX-16 card in it when the arcmsr module tries to load the following error appears. Areca RAID Controller0: Model ARC-1882, F/W V1.56 2019-07-30 arcmsr0: dma_alloc_coherent got error No drives are discovered and the initramfs prompt is shown. The machine: * Supermicro X9DRW * Dual Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630L v2 @ 2.40GHz * 128G RAM * Areca ARC-1882IX-16 (1G onboard cache) Nothing I have tried is effective: * Turning on BIOS above 4G decoding stops the Intel 10GBE ixgbe driver from functioning and doesn't fix the arcmsr * Unloading and reloading the arcmsr module from initramfs prompt * Downgrading the Areca 1882 bios to v1.52 as per http://faq.areca.com.tw/index.php?action=artikel&cat=7&id=902&artlang=en * Kernel parameters ** pci=nocrs ** dom0_mem=8G ** mem=3072M ** mem2048M cma=1024M ** cma=2048 ** cma=3076@512M ** iommu=1 intel_iommu=1 ** arcmsr.host_can_queue=64 as per http://faq.areca.com.tw/index.php?action=artikel&cat=15&id=387&artlang=en I expected the arcmsr module to load and detect disks as it does with the stock kernel. I can provide sysctl and dmesg output if it helps. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-9-amd64 (SMP w/24 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled xen-hypervisor-4.11-amd64 depends on no packages.
