As I stated in my email, upgrading my firmware is what caused these errors in the first place!

Dear customer,
This is ASRock Technical Support Department.
Thank you for the query.

Regarding your case, the [\_GPE._L6F] error has been confirmed by lots of users that solved by latest BIOS.
Did you meet any problem during flashing the BIOS?
We recommend you to use BIOS P2.20 to test again, thank you!


Thank you for your patience.
If any, please feel free to contact us!


Kindest Regards,
ASRock TSD

So I tried toggling that SATA option and nothing changed, still kernel panicking. On a side note, here is the output from dmesg of a successful boot with only one CPU core enabled, I don't really know how to get the logs of the crashing boots.


You will note on line 852, it took a fairly long time for the ethernet to turn on and it is only running in 10 Mbps Full Duplex instead of 1 Gbps Full Duplex, which was the original issue that lead me to try this disastrous BIOS update. It only runs at 10 Mbps on both Windows and Linux, so I don't think it is a driver issue per se.

On a side note, here are some screenshots of the kernel panic(s) I am getting. Maybe your BIOS overlords can find something useful in here. ;)

I don't have any optical drives. I have two SSDs and one HDD plugged into SATA_1, SATA_2, and SATA_3.

I'll check out those options tomorrow once I get some rest. :)

Dang, oops.

Also, see the hdparm tips on the bottom of pg.29

Maybe?

Still have my head in this for the meantime. Unfortunately, my head may be in my bung hole concerning this too Embarrassed

See pg.29 Section 5.1.3

5.1.3 SATA Devices

The SATA specification describes a power management feature for SATA devices, referred to as ALPM (Advanced Link Power Management). This feature allows the attached disk to switch between five distinct power phases:
 
??Active: Device is active and consuming the nominal amount of power.
??Partial: Device is in partial sleep. Wakeup latency is low (<10 µs). Marginal amount of power saving.
??Slumber: Device is sleeping, but power is maintained. Higher wakeup latency (<10ms). More power saving.
??DevSleep: Device is completely turned off, but power is maintained. Marginally higher wakeup latency (<20ms). Considerably higher power savings.
??RTD3: Device is completely turned off. Very high wakeup latency, with zero power consumption.


BIOS > Advanced > Storage Management : SATA Aggressive Link Power Management - Toggle this Enabled and Disabled and check panic state in both

Gotcha. Let's see what the BIOS Gods can produce in the way of a new BIOS.



And for sh*ts n grins, do you have a CD/DVD/BD attached to one of the 6 native SATA ports?

Complete and ignorant noob that I am to BIOS programming, bored today I did some reading into it this and am left with this relating to SATA RTD3 states. ie: CD drives that don't issue/follow properly. I dunno. Just conjecture on my part.

The not serialized errors in your log took me down this rabbit hole I went today. I didn't find references to RTD3 concerning COM or LPT ports. Those three cover any serialized or not serialized on this board that I'm aware. It doesn't have a third party SATA controller so that rules that out too.

I am running Fedora 24, kernel 4.6.7. I tried the experimental 4.7.2 kernel with HPET disabled and I get my lovely kernel panics. I also tried using the Fedora 24 liveusb to no avail.
