We're having a hard time with the serial of the armada 375 db since the
beginning. We're trying to find solutions to get a more reliable serial.

It seems like the bootloader is corrupted somehow. I'll reflash it.

These issues are definitely not kernel ones as you rightfully stated.
IIRC, LAVA in its latest version has updated the returned status of jobs
and shouldn't return the same error if it fails before actually starting
the kernel. For example, I have a "Job error: bootloader-interrupt timed
out after 294 seconds" for the OrangePi.

While we really appreciate you giving us feedback on these issues, I
think they shouldn't be mentioned in your overall boot summary (or at
least in a different section than kernel errors).

Or maybe you're waiting on all labs to migrate to v2018.02+ so that all
have this enhanced job status report before actually using it?

Thanks for the report, let me know if you have any question or remark,

BTW, we've changed our name from Free Electrons to Bootlin due to a
legal dispute around our name and we might lose our domain name so it'd
be great to send your mail to kernelci@...tlin.com for now on, thanks :)
