Hi Dan, The test kernel is working. I'm not seeing the issue anymore. Here's what I've tried with our on-off test:
1.) 1U system with (2x) 2-port NVMe controller with over 500 cycles = no issue 2.) 1U system with (1x) 4-port NVMe controller with over 300 cycles = no issue 3.) 2U system with (1x) 4-port NVMe controller with over 250 cycles = no issue Please let me know if you need any info from me? I'd also like to know how or what we need to do in order to proceed and getting this fix for GA? thank you so much!! regards, Dexter -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639920 Title: NVMe detection failed during bootup Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I've been running an on-off test on a couple of Power8 systems and have been getting a failure of detection on the NVMe drives on Ubuntu 16.04.1 only. I've ran the same test on RHEL 7.2 and have not encountered this proble. Once the problem occurs the OS will stop to boot up and a message appears: Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or ^D to try again to boot into default mode.
