Description Martin Laabs 2013-08-28 06:40:00 UTC
Sporadicly the raspberry pi failes to mount its root mmc card. After power off and power on again works most of the time. However there seem to be also configurations that fail permanently. Unfortunately I have no image of a sd card that fails on every boot. The full boot log output is attached to this bug report.

Mounting from ufs:/dev/mmcsd0s2a failed with error 19.

Loader variables:
  vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/mmcsd0s2a
  vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw,noatime

Manual root filesystem specification:
  <fstype>:<device> [options]
      Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
      and with the specified (optional) option list.

    eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
        zfs:tank
        cd9660:/dev/acd0 ro
          (which is equivalent to: mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0 /)

  ?               List valid disk boot devices
  .               Yield 1 second (for background tasks)
  <empty line>    Abort manual input

Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: Boot the Raspberry Pi several times and look if

A little background that may or may not be helpful in investigating this
problem...

We have long had a problem with mysterious sdcard timeout errors on RPi
that doesn't happen on other hardware with sdhci controllers.  Until
now, it was thought that these timeouts always occurred shortly after
the controller was initialized by the OS.  The timeouts would affect the
early card-detection sequences; we worked around them by adding
automatic retries to the mmc code that identifies and initializes cards.

This error appears to be a timeout that occurs after the card init
sequences are done (the errors are reported by mmcsd0, not mmc0).

I am seeing this fairly consistently on every second boot - which is rather
annoying because I would like that RPi to reliably boot unattended.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a workaround?

Comment 4 harald.weppner 2014-04-21 19:38:08 UTC
Hi,

Ive been able to work around it by disabling high speed in a device hint (hw.bcm2835.sdhci.hs=0) but was wondering if any progress on this issue was made?

Thanks & cheerio, Harry.
Comment 5 logan 2014-12-31 13:49:11 UTC
The issue is present on both 10.1 RELEASE and FreeBSD 11 current.
Comment 6 Harrison Grundy 2014-12-31 20:05:06 UTC
There's now a bounty on getting this bug fixed. One Wandboard Quad to whoever fixes this issue (or whoever is credited in the commit with fixing this issue) and has it committed to -HEAD. The bounty is open to anyone I can legally send the Wandboard to from the US. Should multiple people be credited in the commit, we'll resolve it with a single game of "Pick a number" conducted via e-mail. Expect about a month from confirmation of the fix in head to the Wandboard being shipped out.

If you have any questions about the bounty, e-mail me at harrison.grundy <at> astrodogdoggroup <dot> com

Good luck!

Is this still an issue?

batch change:

For bugs that match the following
-  Status Is In progress 
AND

DO:

Reset to open status.


Note:
I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.

^Triage: I'm sorry that this PR did not get addressed in a timely fashion.

By now, the version that it was created against is long out of support.
Please re-open if it is still a problem on a supported version.
