@roweryan All I can suggest is for you to select the last working kernel until Rockstor updates again. I know the 4.4 is due out soon and so presumably @schakrava will adopt that as soon as is practical. And to avoid Rockstor's mechanism of re-setting to the newest kernel on each boot I'l take a look at the following forum post:- http://forum.rockstor.com/t/override-kernel-autoboot/798

roweryan commented 8 years ago

I removed the non-working kernel for now.

roweryan commented 8 years ago

Any timeline for a new kernel?

schakrava commented 8 years ago

3.8-11 is now out and it uses 4.3.3. We'll move to 4.4 no sooner than 3.8-13 IMO. Please stay tuned and keep using the kernel that works for you in the meantime.

roweryan commented 8 years ago

4.3.3 doesn't work for me either.

roweryan commented 8 years ago

The problem is present in all kernels greater than kernel-ml-4.2.5-1.el7, less than 4.5.0-0.rc1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 and affects users booting from a usb stick.

See the kernel.org change for this bug here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/mkp/scsi.git/commit/?h=4.5/scsi-queue&id=221255aee67ec1c752001080aafec0c4e9390d95

The elrepo people are great. https://github.com/elrepo/packages/issues/135

roweryan commented 8 years ago

Please could you reopen this bug since the problem is still present in the current version of the kernel shipped with rockstor. Thanks!

schakrava commented 8 years ago

Really nice catch @roweryan, love the thorough comments on the elrepo repo.

We need to pause and think if we should fall back to 4.2.x kernel given there are some users using Rockstor with usb as a boot drive. Thanks for your testing.

roweryan commented 8 years ago

or upgrade to 4.5.x asap :)

MFlyer commented 8 years ago

To @schakrava and @phillxnet : IMO this issue can be closed and reopened (if necessary) because now we're on kernel 4.5.x-4.6.x and Rockstor in 3.8-14 (no more 3.8-10)

schakrava commented 8 years ago

Agreed @MFlyer. Thanks!
