I didn't get a chance to prove the original bug in LAVA, so now I've
got that result too:
Original bug:
https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/249115
Fails to boot, as others have reported.

Fixed kernel build:
https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/249113
Kernel boots correctly and job runs to completion.

To test, I downloaded the built .deb files and extracted the contents
and made a modules.tar.gz from ./lib/. The jobs above include
SHA256 checksums for the extracted files and the modules.tar.gz and I
uploaded the files to:
http://people.linaro.org/~neil.williams/linux-bug-922478/ (fixed
build) and
http://people.linaro.org/~neil.williams/linux-bug-922478/original/
(buggy build)

Checking this on real hardware would be great, trying to put everyone

So I've just tried this linux-image-4.9.0-8-armmp_4.9.144-4 on my 
OLinuXino-LIME2, it boots ok, everything seems to work well.


Thanks !

Hi all,

Same issue here with 4.9.144-3 on my Olimex OLinuXino-LIME2 board 
(Allwinner A20 cpu) :

u-boot is struck at "Starting kernel", nothing happens after that.

This board boots ok with 4.9.130-2 and also with 4.9.135-1 (found at 
snapshot.debian.org).


I'm using the armmp kernel variant (non-lpae), if that helps I could 
easily try with lpae.
More generally please let me know if I can help pinpointing the issue by 
testing some more
kernel images. Note that I've never played with (cross-)compiling armhf 
kernels myself, though.


Despite this specific issue, thanks for all this great work, it's so 
cool to have Debian

supported out-of-the box on such little boards !

Jean

Yes, me too. Built similar and tested on the Marvell Armada XP here
and it solved the problem.

That seemed to work fine on several tested boards.

I also did a local build commenting out
"debian/arm-avoid-abi-change-in-4.9.139.patch" in debian/patches and
removing "debian/abi/4.9.0-8/armhf_none_armmp" so that the abi conflicts
didn't fail to build...

$ uname -a
Linux cbxi4b 4.9.0-8-armmp #1 SMP Debian 4.9.144-4~20190217~1 (2019-02-17) 
armv7l GNU/Linux

Sounds like there may be a less intrusive patch in the works...

FWIW, I also built a local package from 4.9.155-1~ from salsa/stretch
git, and it worked on a wandboard quad.
