I forgot to follow up. 5.35 has been running fine since July.

5.38 rebooted too. Last gasps were Jul 28 16:33:49 localhost kernel: [ 8277.878135] Sending NMI from CPU 0 to CPUs 1: Jul 28 16:34:52 localhost kernel: [ 8340.932624] Sending NMI from CPU 0 to CPUs 1: Jul 28 16:35:56 localhost kernel: [ 8403.987171] Sending NMI from CPU 0 to CPUs 1: Jul 28 16:36:59 localhost kernel: [ 8467.041636] Sending NMI from CPU 0 to CPUs 1: Jul 28 16:38:02 localhost kernel: [ 8530.096136] Sending NMI from CPU 0 to CPUs 1: Trying 5.35 now.

I saw two reboots on my Banana Pi running stretch since I upgraded (linux-image-next-sunxi:armhf (5.35, 5.41)) three days ago. It ran flawlessly since April before that. Nothing in the logs. I downgraded to 5.38 and I'm watching dmesg now.

I just installed 4.2.3-sunxi on my Banana Pi (original model.) Everything seems to work nicely except the console mouse (gpm.) I run keyboard and mouse on a "GreenAsia Inc. USB to PS/2 Adapter" and have never had a problem with that setup, including Raspberry Pi and Bananian on the BPi. Both keyboard and mouse work under X but on the console only the keyboard works. This is logged when I plug in USB: Nov 13 06:21:25 bpi kernel: [ 1963.223307] usb 3-1: new low-speed USB device number 4 using ohci-platform Nov 13 06:21:25 bpi kernel: [ 1963.446399] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0e8f, idProduct=0020 Nov 13 06:21:25 bpi kernel: [ 1963.446427] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Nov 13 06:21:25 bpi kernel: [ 1963.446437] usb 3-1: Product: PS2toUSB Adapter Nov 13 06:21:25 bpi kernel: [ 1963.446447] usb 3-1: Manufacturer: GASIA Nov 13 06:21:25 bpi kernel: [ 1963.472456] input: GASIA PS2toUSB Adapter as /devices/platform/soc@01c00000/1c14400.usb/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/0003:0E8F:0020.0005/input/input5 Nov 13 06:21:25 bpi kernel: [ 1963.524368] hid-generic 0003:0E8F:0020.0005: input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [GASIA PS2toUSB Adapter] on usb-1c14400.usb-1/input0 Nov 13 06:21:25 bpi kernel: [ 1963.534131] input: GASIA PS2toUSB Adapter as /devices/platform/soc@01c00000/1c14400.usb/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.1/0003:0E8F:0020.0006/input/input6 Nov 13 06:21:26 bpi kernel: [ 1963.598876] hid-generic 0003:0E8F:0020.0006: input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [GASIA PS2toUSB Adapter] on usb-1c14400.usb-1/input1 When I start the gpm service I get ==> /var/log/daemon.log <== Nov 13 06:25:32 bpi systemd[1]: Starting LSB: gpm sysv init script...

However I can start gpm by hand with /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/input/by-id/usb-GASIA_PS2toUSB_Adapter-if01-event-mouse -t evdev That works. Linking that device file to /dev/input/mice allows the gpm service to start but it doesn't work (mouse movement has no effect.) That is fixed if I set type=evdev in /etc/gpm.conf and everything works. I never had to jump through so many hoops - something is missing but I don't know what.
