I have built upstream kernels with Debian's configuration but I disabled expert options, the certificate, module signing and kernel debugging and got a working kernel. Since I don't think that any of these options is responsible, I would guess it's one of the patches. But I have no idea which one. The software stack moves too fast these days with hardly any chance to test stuff which is why breakage happens often. > > I don't really have the capacity at the moment to find out what's wrong > > which > > is why I'm using upstream kernels on all of the buildds at the moment. > > > > Sorry, > > No worries, thank you for all the work! You're welcome. I wished I had more capacity, but I'm exhausted. Adrian -- .''`.
