Package: bugs.debian.org Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer, A few days ago I tried to upgrade one of the six Socionext SynQuacers that we have to the latest Debian release. It was running fine on Buster using the 4.19 kernel and had no previous issues. I followed the normal procedure for updating Debian to the next release: - apt update; apt upgrade for the current OS and reboot - changing the release's codename of all apt sources to bullseye - apt update again - apt upgrade; apt dist-upgrade - reboot The next boot sequence would start and get to the point where it would look for the rootfs without finding it and going into initramfs I've then proceeded to reinstall buster on that machine and it just worked fine, then also tried installing the kernel from backports linux- image-5.10.0-0.bpo.8-arm64 and after reboot it caused the same problem not finding the rootfs and going into initramfs. Searching about SynQuacer related issues i found Bug#891787 https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2018/02/msg00348.html and verified that those options mentioned in the bug report were enabled correctly in both kernel config file for bullseye and for teh backported kernel. Thank you very much.
