Re: [OOPS] Linux 5.14.19 crashes and burns!

[Thorsten Leemhuis <linux@leemhuis.info>]

Lo! CCing stable and regressions list. FWIW, I have a Fedora 34 VM that
stopped booting with 5.14.19 as well. More inline:

By default I didn't get to see any messages, the VM just hangs when
switching to root. Did anyone else already report or even track this
down already? Guess otherwise I need to take a closer look and maybe
start bisecting...

To be sure this issue doesn't fall through the cracks unnoticed, I'm
adding it to regzbot, the Linux kernel regression tracking bot:

#regzbot ^introduced v5.14.18..v5.14.19
#regzbot title 5.14.19 crashes when switching from initramfs to root

Ciao, Thorsten (as Linux kernel regression tracker and someone that is
affected by this...)

P.S.: If you want to know more about regzbot, check out its
web-interface, the getting start guide, and/or the references documentation:

https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/
https://gitlab.com/knurd42/regzbot/-/blob/main/docs/getting_started.md
https://gitlab.com/knurd42/regzbot/-/blob/main/docs/reference.md

But note, regzbot is doing its first field-testing now and thus still
has some bugs. Adding this regression will help be to find them, hence
feel free to ignore this mail or any errors you spot in the web-ui.
