Bug#717470: linux-image-3.10-1-kirkwood: Soft lockup in orion_nand booting on dreamplug
I experienced this bug in Debian 7 Wheezy with the Linux kernels
2.6.32-5-kirkwood, 3.2.0-4-kirkwood, and 3.12-0.bpo.1-kirkwood on a
DreamPlug model 003-DS2001 (Feroceon 88FR131 rev 1 (v5l)). This was
resolved by compiling Linux (3.2.0-4-kirkwood) without the
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ORION option.
I don’t know the Debian policy for the compilation of the kernels, but it
would be great if this code could be blacklisted on the DreamPlug hardware
(ARM ID 0xDDE [1] -- although this ID is not recognized by Linux and 0xA63
(GuruPlug) [2] is currently used instead), or perhaps this should be fixed
upstream in Linux (along with adding the DreamPlug ARM ID). (I found
Fedora users having the same problem.)
BTW I wrote a blog post on this (installation of Debian 7 on a DreamPlug)
in French [3].
