Update: I can use newer kernels if I remove device "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS525A PCI Express Card Reader" from sys-usb VM. If it _is_ attached to that VM, the entire computer crashes upon sys-usb start (when newer kernels are in use, it is fine with [very] old ones). So I guess not h

Dear Marek, kernel testing would be so much easier if the xen.cfg would allow an option likedefault=menuselect to get a boot menu -- instead of Maybe such a function exists already? If not that would be a feature request! That's the main reason why Qubes 4.1 doesn't use xen.cfg at all. Ther

Dear Marek, kernel testing would be so much easier if the xen.cfg would allow an option like default=menuselect to get a boot menu -- instead of default=[5.16.whatever] which makes it actually necessary to "hack" the xen.cfg via a live-linux-usb intrusion if a kernel should fail to work .

Which kernel version do you need to hold? You can update a subset of packages by giving them as arguments to qubes-dom0-update, but I would like to know what the forseeable problems are. The reason is simple: all (!) 5.x xen kernels I tested so far crash/freeze my system in less than 5 minutes,
