DetailsDescription:
With both of the above kernels at version 5.11 the system won't boot unless the dell_wmi_sysman is blacklisted somehow. Otherwise it boots and works fine. Tested on a Dell Latitude E5570 with the latest updates (including the latest firmware from fwupd). Additional info: Affected kernels: linux 5.11.arch2-1 linux-zen 5.11.zen2-2 * config and/or log files etc. * link to upstream bug report, if any Steps to reproduce: 1. Install linux/linux-zen from testing (5.11) 2. Reboot. 3. Enjoy a general protection fault :) |

Unfortunately I've got no time to investigate this further at the moment.

Perhaps your bug has not been reported upstream yet?

The problem is... I haven't compiled a kernel since... my slackware times (2000) and this patching stuff is a bit "distant". If I have time on monday, I will try to build the arch kernel with this patch and see if it makes any difference.
So I created this: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211895
