Mmmh, so I need to test an ubuntu kernel (6.5.0-14) because of sound
issues in mainline TOT, and I can't boot the kernel to completion
without hititng this hang bug. I'm not exactly sure which part of the
boot triggers it.

I can't patch that kernel easily. How exactly do I disable runtime PM
from the kernel command line for "that device" which I'm not even sure
which one it is.  If it's the eth device, I already removed the igc
module to prevent it from loading, and I also removed the ethtool
binary, but I'm still getting the hang.

On the plus side, with 6.6.8 and the old patch which I understand is not
the ideal solution, I can confirm that I've been running problem free
until now, so thanks again for that interim patch.

Thanks,
Marc
