Lenovo A740 gave up waiting for root device with kernels >= 4.3

Hi,

I have a Lenovo A740 (running Xubuntu 16.04) which, with kernel
versions >= 4.3.0, tested up until 4.7.0, gives this on trying to boot:

  Begin: Waiting for root file system ... Begin: Running
  /scripts/local-block ... done.
  Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done.
  Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done.
  […]
  done.
  Gave up waiting for root device. 

and drops me into an (initramfs) shell, where my keyboard is
unresponsive. The last kernel I tried which booted fine was 4.2.8.

I reported this at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118401
and, after some investigation, was asked to contact ahci.c - AHCI SATA
support. The attachments in that report show some output from initramfs
(using a script in /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount due to the
keyboard not working).

What should I do to keep debugging this issue?


best regards,
Kevin Brubeck Unhammer
