Hi Franco,
can you please try 13-CURRENT instead?

(In reply to Ilya Bakulin from comment #1)

Hi Ilya Bakulin
thanks for attention!

Excuse me for bad english but I'm italian and I not speak english very well. 
I installed 13-CURRENT,  the system not crash but not see the sata disk .


if I enter the following command in U-BOOT
=> scsi scan
=> boot
then everything is OK and the system is loaded correctly until login.

now i don't need to enter manually
set hw.regulator.disable_unused = 0
on loader prompt .. but the hard disk is not working.

I always have to issue the - scsi scan - command in u-boot for the sata disk to work.

thanks again, I hope it works out.

regards

Can you please paste the output of:
# sysctl hw.regulator.disable_unused
# camcontrol devlist -v
once the system has booted with the SATA disk?

And by the way, which exact snapshot of -CURRENT did you use?

I happen to have BananaPi m1+ and can try it out.

yesterday I tested the FreeBSD-12.2 release - 
the result is equal to 13-CURRENT version!

U-BOOT 
=> scsi scan
=> boot
this is the only way the system can see the hard disk.

THANKS!!

Unfortunately I couldn't get to debug the SATA issue yet. Meanwhile, you can modify there not sequence in U-Boot so that 'scsi scan' is issued automatically before the system boot. Let me know if you need help with this.

(In reply to Ilya Bakulin from comment #6)

Yes, Thanks!
how do i automatically run 'scsi scan' in u-boot?

Comment 8 Ilya Bakulin 2020-11-16 10:25:44 UTC

This is what you can do, assuming your device boots from mmc0:

(In U-Boot):
=> env print bootcmd_mmc0

on my board it is: "bootcmd_mmc0=setenv devnum 0; run mmc_boot"

Now you change the command and save:
=> env set bootcmd_mmc0 "scsi scan; setenv devnum 0; run mmc_boot"
=> saveenv

Now reset the board and see if it works!

If it doesn't: please post the output of "env print" and the boot log, from the board reset till FreeBSD boot loader starts.

Hi, 
i'm grateful to you, it works perfectly!!!

thanks

regards.

I'm glad it helped :-)

As the initial problem has been solved, I'll close this bug. Feel free to open another one for the SATA problem -- that would help to draw more people on it since it will have another title that talks about SATA.
