Everything works OK when I connect the drive to USB 2 port (I get the message during the boot that the drive is spinning up, the kernel waits for that and then the boot proceeds normally). This is a USB 3 drive and, of course, it would be better to connect it to the USB 3 port in rock64. When I do this, the system starts booting but then gets stuck before it says anything about waiting for the drive to spin up. I was randomly playing with the cables back and forth and somehow I managed to get it to boot once from USB 3 but I am not sure what I did exactly.
Has anyone gotten rootfs on USB 3 drive to work correctly when loading the kernel from sdcard? I know that the drive works on USB 3 port (PC) and it has its own power supply, so there should not be any power issues.
Yes, it works fine. I am using Ayufan's Artful minimal (Linux rock64 4.4.77-rockchip-ayufan-141) and have tested with his several other variants.
