Uh, oh. We're getting very late in the cycle, and we don't have much
time to debug this.
- These patches:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/90852/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/93704/
are on their way upstream, but aren't there yet. Please test them
first, just in case they fix the problem. If they do, we should
go right out and buy some lottery tickets while our luck is good.
But more likely, this is some new problem, and we'll have to debug
it by collecting the information below.
- The patch below applies to current upstream (c81eddb0e372). If you
can apply it, set CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y, and boot with
"acpi.debug_level=0x00010000 acpi.debug_layer=0x00000100" for all
the tests below, that would be great.
- Boot with controller set to non-AHCI. This works, even though
we're using _CRS. Right? Can you collect the dmesg log for this?
- Boot with controller set to AHCI. This fails, right? Any log
you can collect (e.g., boot with "ignore_loglevel" and use serial
console, netconsole, digital video, photo, etc) would be helpful.
- Boot with controller set to AHCI and "pci=nocrs". This works, right?
I'd like to see the complete dmesg log.
