 I have two oustanding issues... with some files it sometimes fails to
 load one or more from SATA:

 Retrieving file: /boot/initrd.img-5.0.0-trunk-armmp
 20077960 bytes read in 375 ms (51.1 MiB/s)
 Retrieving file: /boot/vmlinuz-5.0.0-trunk-armmp
 4215296 bytes read in 40 ms (100.5 MiB/s)
 append: root=UUID=9666ab0b-f932-4e2f-95d7-0e96a12a4540 ro quiet
 Retrieving file: /usr/lib/linux-image-5.0.0-trunk-armmp/imx6q-novena.dtb
 CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [fafb5398, fafb6398]
 CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [fafb5398, fafb6398]
 ERROR: v7_outer_cache_inval_range - start address is not aligned -
 0xfafb5398
 ERROR: v7_outer_cache_inval_range - stop address is not aligned -
 0xfafb6398
 invalid extent block

 It then falls back to one of the other kernels (using the extlinux.conf
 parsing) and succeeds. It consistantly gets a cache/alignment error with
 this specific file. A bit-for-bit identical .dtb loaded from another
 path works just fine. Older versions of u-boot boot this fine. Would
 some particular EXT4 flag possibly be causing issues?

Can you debug it further or prepare a reproducible testcase ?

Also seeing this problem with wandboard solo with 2019.10-rc4 booting
from microSD. Haven't retested with novena recently.

Setting CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF=y avoids the need to manually type "dcache
off" ... though obviously doesn't address the real problem.

live well,
