Pi to 3.12? – Not Quite..
The 3.12 kernel for the Raspberry Pi has just been released on GitHub, and I tried to update, but hit a problem with the mmc (SD Card) driver:
[ OK ] Reached target Paths. [*** ] A start job is running for dev-mmcblk0p1.device ................... [ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-mmcblk0p1.device. [DEPEND] Dependency failed for /boot.
After the system dropped to an emergency shell, the journal listing reported:
Jan 01 01:00:06 rgpi kernel: mmc0: Hardware doesn't report any support voltages. Jan 01 01:00:06 rgpi kernel: bcm2708_sdhci bcm2708_sdhci.0: probe failed, err -1 ........................... Jan 01 01:01:35 rgpi systemd[1]: Job dev-mmcblk0p1.device/start timed out. Jan 01 01:01:35 rgpi systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device dev-mmcblk0p1.device -- Subject: Unit dev-mmcblk0p1.device has failed ........................... -- The result is timeout. Jan 01 01:01:35 rgpi systemd[1]: Dependency failed for /boot.
Hopefully this will be fixed, soon… To be fair, the 3.12 kernel includes a lot of changes for ARM, and I have had problems with 3.12 for the DreamPlug – now solved – as mentioned in previous articles..

I’m planning to upgrade my rpi to 3.12 . Has mmc problem got fixed ? Any other issues? Thanks
I tried the latest version (yesterday) of 3.12 from GitHub, and still had the mmc problem. I posted the issue on the Pi forum, but no response..
In case it was a problem with my kernel config setup, I have tried several different options, but still had the error..
If it isn’t fixed soon, I may post on the pi-kernel newsgroup, but I’m not sure if that would be the correct place, as it is really for the ‘mainstream’ version..
