elaborate on the does not boot anymore? Where does it get stuck for
you? Is it reacting on the console, and can you login? Can you login
remotely? It might be similar to #1005884.

What happens if you do not load the nvidia module tainting the kernel?

Would it be possible that you test the kernel in unstable, as uploaded
5.16.10-1? (Note the signed packages are not yet available though).
