kernel 4.6.3 on BPI Pro - Kernel panic and blocked network

[dkl42]

Hello,

 

with the update to the new kernel (4.6.3-sunxi) I get some problems on my banana pro.

 

First, while the system starts I get sometimes a kernel panic. In the most cases the kernel will boot on the second or third try.

But the second one will be contantly and can't be avoided by a system reboot.

 

The network interfaces don't be worked. The will be initialized during the system start process, get there IPv4 addresses

from the router per DHCP and ifconfig shown them with the state "up". Everything looks ok.

 

But if I try to connect another system, the connection will be failed.

Any ping, as exsample to the router (default gateway), fails.

 

The ping to the own address will be worked without any issues (192.168.178.10 (eth0) and 192.168.178.52 (WLAN)).

Maybe the network layer optimized it internally and used the loopback interface.

 

Pls, have anybody an idea and can help me to fixed the issue.

Or give me some hint how I can make a fallback to the previous kernal 4.5.5-sunxi which works fine.

(sorry, linux is new for me, I'm a developer which like to move from QNX and the windows system layer to the IoT world)

 

 

Thanks in advance

dkl

Mainline kernel, even declared stable, is still bleeding edge. Remember to check u-boot to. It can be the trouble maker in certain cases.
