I am running a vanilla Debian Trixie on a VisionFive 2 on a Toshiba Corporation XG5 NVMe SSD (Model KXG50ZNV256G). This has been running fine for many months, no video out, of course, but it was running fine for occasional light work, some test, and I kept the system up to date regularly.
Recently, an update installed kernel 7.1.3+deb14, and after a reboot, the system would not come back online. I connected via serial port and found out, that it didn’t find its root file system, because it looks like it didn’t detect any PCIe devices. The board is able to boot grub, I can select the previous kernel (7.0.13+deb14) and boot the system this way. But kerne 7.1.3 doesn’t work.
Has anybody experienced similar problems and found a solution for this?
I am in the process of compiling linux 7.2-rc2 from scratch to see if this is solved again in later kernels, but it takes ages on this hardware.
