Boot regression in Linux 6.1 gone for Montecito in 6.3
Dear all,
I today noticed that a new Debian kernel is available from [1]. Thanks
to whoever built that one - most likely Adrian.

I currently have the rx2620 and the rx2800-i2 at home and gave it a test
on them, and...
...it is working more or less flawlessly on both systems. The boot
regression at where the initramfs is extracted is gone for the rx2620.
@Pedro:
Maybe you give this kernel a try on your rx2660 to see if it is working
for that one, too. It will take me until next week to test it on my
Montvale driven systems and the rx4640 with Madisons.
There is a reproducible issue for the rx2800-i2, though, happening just
after the first occurance of a message from the igb driver for the four
built-in PCI-e NICs (longer log on [2]). I cut the intertwined USB
messages here:

Earlier today I built a 6.4.0-rc2 kernel with kernel config based on
"config-6.1.0-9-mckinley" and localmodconfig matching the needed modules
for my rx2620 **and** rx2800-i2 combined.
Unfortunately the resulting kernel "crashes" as soon as udevd starts and
that for both systems similarly. But yeah, the initramfs issues are gone
for the rx2620. If someone is interested, the error messages are on [3]
and [4] for rx2620 and rx2800-i2 respectively.

Well, rc2 might just be to early to conclude that there is a new error.
And it could also be an issue of my kernel config. I'll try to observe
how later kernels behave.
Cheers,
Frank
