I apologise for confusion. In fact, I have cloned the Torvalds tree after
6.4.1 was released, but I actually cloned the Torvalds tree, not the 6.4.1
from the stable branch as the Subject line might have misled.

But I think the text explained that the Torvalds tree was cloned
and the method:

] After new git pull the kernel in Torvalds tree with default debug config
] failed to boot with error that occurs prior to mounting filesystems, so there
] is no log safe for the screenshot(s) here:

I will try to be more consistent and precise the next time.

Sorry again for the confusion.

I am right now cloning directly from the Torvalds tree for the third time
and with the Ubuntu generic production kernel and the result is the same:
crash in boot for 2d47c6956ab3.
