I wanted to upgrade my server from 10 year old HW to something newer.
THis server runs debian bullseye with v5.19 kernel from backports. Here
is the list of items I got in the upgraded system
1. Intel z690 mother board (asrock steel legend)
2. Core i3-13100 cpu
3. Super Flower 650W PSU,
4. G.SKILL DDR4 RAM
5. 2x SK hynix P31 nvme SSD 1TB each.
I reused these from old build
1. Geforce GT 630 video card
2. SAS9211i HBA card for extra SATA ports
3. All my large spinning drives that contained data in RAID6 and RAID1
I made a raid1 on mvme ssd and created 3 partitions. In one I installed
debian testing (bookworm with v6.1 kernel) and in another, I image
copied the old installation I had before the HW upgrade. Debian bookworm
runs fine and reboots/shutsdown as expected. My old system copied over
also works fine for most part. It boots and runs everything that I care
about. All my RAID disks are working. No issue as long as it runs.
The only trouble I have is that it refuses to reboot/shutdown/poweroff.
It seem to go through all steps and reach the end but seem to get stuck
in this endless cycle complaining about some blkdev issue. Here are the
last lines printed on the console that shows the cycle
[OK] Reached target Power-off
[67652.NNNNNN] block device autoloading is deprecated and will be
removed
<repeat 9 more times with different numbers for NNNN>
[67667.NNNNNN] blkdev_get_no_open: 119 callbacks suppressed
<messge repeats endlessly from block device autoloading line with
different NNNN and number of callbacks being slightly different>
I assume by "[OK]..." line that we are really at the end of shut down
process. When I turn off physically using power switch and reboot, I do
not get any fsck error messages. So, I assume that filesystems are safe
and kernel is somehow lost in some thread and cannot end the reboot
process.
Any ideas what I can do?
