Description Diego Humanes 2025-08-20 11:40:31 UTC
1. Please describe the problem:

latest fedora rawhide boot fails because sata vmd disk not recognized on 6.17.0-0.rc2.24.fc44 and previous kernels.
My system is ASUS B760M-A WIFI D4 motherboard, BIOS 1820 with i5-13500 and SATA Samsung SSD 870 EVO 1TB (SVT02B6Q) on /dev/sda. Root on /dev/sda4 with F2FS.
I have VMD enabled on BIOS for two years on BIOS running Windows 11 and Fedora without problem until this time. If I go to BIOS and diseable VMD, fedora boots ok. If I enable VMD again, it fails to boot.
I know that vmd module is running, because it shows on:
lsmod | grep vmd
vmd                    28672  0

2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:

6.17.0-0.rc2.24.250817.fc44
6.17.0-0.rc1.24.250815.fc44


3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
   *first* appear?  Old kernels are available for download at
   https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 :

Yes, it worked and still works on 6.17.0-0.rc0.250730.fc43.
From 6.17.0-0.rc1.250815.fc44 it doesn't work (at least).

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:

boot sequence fails to complete
error messages about ata7 and ata7.00 that repeat themselves

5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the
   Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by
   ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``:

yes, I am on rawhide, it occurs on latest rawhide kernel

6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:

no

7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log
   for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the
   issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.

journalctl -b doesn't show the previous unfinished boot, only completed normal boots, so it doesn't show the boot error.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Diego Humanes 2025-08-24 11:50:39 UTC
Resolved: latest 6.17.0-0.rc2.250821g068a56e56fa8.27.fc44.x86_64 loads normally with VMD enabled on BIOS.

Thanks
