#75180 — Bug#1006149: linux-image-5.16.0-1-686: Fails to boot on T41 Thinkpads

Hi

I've done more tests (basically recompiled and installed 2 times the
same kernel) with linux-5.17.5 but I am still having no luck : I can't
figure out why it does not detect the controller ... I've checked the
config and the drivers for the controller (ata_piix , ata_generic )
are built but they are not loaded at the initramfs stage. I've tried
to put them explicitly in the initramfs via
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules but nothing worked.

So I decided to give a try to linux 5.18-rc4 : I've reverted the
commit d6b88ce2eb9d , recompiled , installed in the target machine  ,
rebooted and BINGO !!

The system boots almost with the same config used for compiling linux 5.17.5 :)

uname -a

cat /proc/version
Linux version 5.18.0-rc4 (<user>@<64bit_hostname>) (gcc (Debian

The deb package I built is basically an optimized kernel for my
machine with only the modules for the internal devices and the
external components I have , so to be quick at building a new kernel ;
it's not suitable for other systems.

For who would like to try to build standard deb-flavour kernels in a
quicker way in a faster machine, I can say that in the past I managed
a 32 bit build host via virtual machine in my 64 bit machine to build
deb packages I needed for my 32 bit system (basically, it was a
minimal 32 bit debian unstable distribution installed as a virtualbox
machine) : it was - and it is still now in my opinion - the easiest
way to have a build host for 32 bit packages in a 64 bit environment
because I found more complicated setting up a full cross compile
environment .
