Thanks for this. But unfortunately, it does not tell us much as to what
is going on... Could you send me dmesg output of a clean boot with 5.15
kernel ? Also, once booted in 5.15, install sg3utils and run these commands:
sudo sg_sat_read_gplog --log=0 --page=0 /dev/sdX
sudo sg_sat_read_gplog --log=0 --page=0 --dma /dev/sdX
(replace sdX with your drive name, likely sda or sdb)
And let me know the result of these please.
