It might be a coincidence, but this kernel runs differently from the 6.16.5. The 6.16.5 kernel was built with preemptive scheduler (good for response time), this 6.17.7 kernel was built witby bodhi - Debian

ZooMoo, Here is the latest DTB and DTS. I digged a bit deeper in various places to create the pins for ethernet. This has pinctrl definition for ge0 and ge1. We are using ge1 pins in this version. Without the Datasheet, there is still some unknowns. Not sure if this will make a difference. ==== Also, I don't recall you have tried to set the NIC to use flow control? the mvpp2by bodhi - Debian

FYI, The MVEBU kernel size is getting quite close to 5MB. I think the next kernel might not fit in the required flash space of 5MB for this box stock u-boot. I've been trying to reconfigure this kernel at each version to keep the size down (just for this box), but there will be a time when that will not be possible.by bodhi - Debian

> I removed two HDDs and booted from a rootfs flash > drive. Cool! That's pretty good. ===== The problem with this previous error EHCI timed out on TD - token=0xb4008d80 is that old u-boot code is not very robust dealing with USB. When you have large HDDs in the slots, a lot of power is used initializing them. Especially with this Stora box, it is problematic. Doby bodhi - Debian

Re: GTI Mirabox, Netgear RN102/RN104, Netgear RN2120 Installation & Kernel Upgrade (Linux-6.16.5) - 7 weeks ago
I'm afraid that for this box, like other 32-bit processors with single CPU, the performance might get worse. We've been running this kernel as non-SMP to gain a bit of performance. But looks like everything will be SMP in kernel 6.17. IOW, the kernel might have to be configured as SMP (running as numCPU =1), to avoid potential new bugs. https://lwn.net/ml/all/20250528080924.227by bodhi - Debian
