I've tried this fix from 'googling', to disable NCQ:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="libata.force=7.00:noncq,8.00:noncq"

but it didn't help.

the only device on that sata controller is BD drive.
using "Linux debian 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.110-3+deb9u5 (2018-09-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux"

thanks.

It could also be the drive.

qrange · 10-13-2018, 01:16 PM

its not the drive (LG BD), it worked fine on bult-in intel sata controller. ( I ran out of free ports on intel)

sometimes it shows this error on boot:

Code:

[    9.286720] ata12.00: irq_stat 0x40000001
[    9.286780] ata12.00: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 17

[   25.157183] ata12.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5)

when that happens, booting takes long and linux/k3b doesn't even detect it.

edit:

its this bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98171

i've modified that grub line to this:

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="libata.force=12.00:sata,noncq,noncqtrim,rstonce,nohrst"

it seems to be slightly better now.

edit2:

I've found this site with marvell firmware updates:
https://www.station-drivers.com/inde...id=347&lang=en

but, I'm hesitant to try it, might be some virus or it might brick something.

qrange · 10-19-2018, 05:47 PM

finally found 'solution':

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42679#c22
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux...d=aa0082066343

unfortunately, debian stable is far away from kernel v4.16
oh, well.

Thanks for the info.
Quite a while back I got a "latest-and-greatest" motherboard that caused me to sit on Linus' tree for a few weeks before I got it working. Similar issue.

It was about then I went back to Fedora.

qrange · 11-12-2018, 04:14 AM

as they say 'enough is enough'; I've installed 'testing' too, so now dualboot stable/testing.
marvell works marvelously now. hopefully tensorflow will too.

qrange · 11-12-2020, 03:14 PM

it had worked for a little while. then broke.

but finally 'in the year 2020' I think I've solved it by updating marvell firmware with 'marvell_88se91xx_firmware_2.2.0.1125b(www.station-drivers.com).exe'.
I've extracted it and used ISO Master to import the content onto Hirens boot then run go.bat.
there was a warning about wrong version (9128 vs 9125 or similar). but its marked 91xx and works fine for now.
