Got it. No, I grew up with Fedora. The Debian distribution names are
somewhat lost on me.

However, if you know there is a working kernel release sometime in the
past, a bisect would be useful. Failing that, go ahead and try a stock
linux-6.17.y kernel. But try building both the Fedora /boot/config and
the Debian one. Could be we hit a Kconfig problem?
