Hi Nathan,

I've made one more experiment: kernel 6.17.5, built on a machine which
shows no problem, using the .config file  from the machine where it
does not boot, produces binaries that boot at the machine with the
problem. These two machines are nearly identical in terms of installed
software packages and their versions.

Now, can I conclude that it is the toolchain which is faulty on two
machines? And in which way?

Cheers,
Eugene
