I have a relatively simple setup: One Raspberry Pi 2 is directly connected to my home router, running Debian 10 and PiHole with an Unbound rDNS service. That's it.

I have set this system up two times now and both times, after a few weeks, when I tried to restart the Pi, it fails with the following errors:

sdhost-bcm2835 3f20200.mmc: timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
sdhost-bcm2835 3f20200.mmc: timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
sdhost-bcm2835 3f20200.mmc: timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
print_req_error: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 614400

sdhost-bcm2835 3f20200.mmc: timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
print_req_error: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 614407
Buffer I/O error on dev mmcblk0p2, logical block 0, async page read
INFO: task kworker/0:1:13 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
sdhost-bcm2835 3f20200.mmc: timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
print_req_error: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 614400

As far as I can tell, the sdhost-bcm timeout and print_req_error (sector 614400-614407) messages then repeat infinitely (I've just let it run for over 24h and the kernel didn't resume).

The first time, I thought this issue was caused by a broken SD card, so I got a new one and also disabled all logs and journaling in the operating system to reduce any writes. However, even with a new SD card and no system logs, the same has happened not even a month later.

While installing the system, I was however able to successfully reboot the Pi (for example after installing Unbound).

What could be the cause for this? Is there anything that can be done to ensure that the Pi will successfully boot after a planned (or unplanned) restart?

    Of course, the real question is, why aren't you using Raspberry Pi OS? Commented Apr 27, 2021 at 10:55
  • Because I was familiar with Debian before and know how to set it up as well as the repository. Also, for this use, I don't need a DE or any other functionality. Are you certain Debian is the culprit? Commented Apr 27, 2021 at 15:08
  • well, 1: Raspberry Pi OS = Debian made and optimised for Raspberry Pi by Raspberry Pi Foundation - 2: there is a Raspberry Pi OS lite - no "DE" - 3: No, I'm not certain Commented Apr 27, 2021 at 23:46
