These options are reasonable and necessary; so far things worked OK.
So why would they start being an issue?
And how can I even proceed when the kernel cannot find a rootfs anymore
while bisecting?
5.5.2 also has the page fault issue.
So why Linus does call 5.5.x 'stable' is beyond me.

How can I continue and find the root cause for the page fault hang?

I booted 5.5.3 without acpi=force and dmesg output with `acpi` in it
looks similar.
So acpi=force wil be removed from future kernel commandlines.

Not enough to make it work for LUKS.

/etc/rc.d/rc.local is easier.
Look at the overhead of a service file.

Same as the overhead of NetworkManager versus a few kilobytes of
network-scripts.
But Fedora thinks otherwise....


Kind regards,
