The most time-consuming task is on determining the culprit and you're in the best position to debug that. There are many kernel packages available at https://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux/, can you do a package bisection and pinpoint the oldest kernel that has this issue? (That is, pick a kernel somewhat in the middle between 6.1 (from bookworm, good) and 6.12 (from trixie, bad), say 6.7-1 and test that. Depending on the result, continue to search between 6.1 and 6.7-1 (if 6.7-1 is bad) or 6.7-1 and 6.12 (if 6.7-1 still works). Tell us if you need more guidance here. Make sure to uninstall the old kernels at the end to not be exposed to security issues that are already fixed in later kernels. Best regards Uwe
