Hi Stephen,

This series moved the UTF-8 data tables to a kernel module; before it,
the module had to be built-in.

Since you have your rootfs as a case-insensitive filesystem, either the
utf8data module needs to be available in the initramfs or unicode
needs to be built-in.  Are you building your own kernel?

Can you confirm that utf8data.ko exists in your initramfs, and
regenerate it if missing?  Alternatively, make sure that you have
CONFIG_UNICODE=y in your kernel configuration file.

If that doesn't work, can you provide the kernel log?  If you can't
collect the console output, a photo of the screen displaying the error
will suffice.

Thank you!
