since my house was cold this morning, I bisected the kernel again between 6.1.7 and 6.1.8. The commit that made the kernel panic go away is this one: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=6c27fc15747967e350fa9f253a034ff03e943ccf Thanks! cheers, josch P.S.: if future-me wants to do this again, this is the command I ran on every bisect step: git reset --hard \ && git clean -fdx \ && cp /boot/config-6.1.0-2-686-pae .config \ && scripts/config --disable MODULE_SIG \ && scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO \ && QUILT_PATCHES=~/linux-6.1.7/debian/patches quilt push -a \ && time make -j16 bzImage \ && env --chdir=~/debvm bin/debvm-run -i ~/debvm/rootfs.ext4 -- -kernel ~/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage
