Use the .config from /boot/config-ubuntu_5.14.x 2. git bisect start 3. git bisect good v5.14 (7d2a07b) 4. git bisect bad v5.15 (8bb7eca) 5. Open a guide like these ones on another device, or print it out: https://www.metaltoad.com/blog/beginners-guide-git-bisect-process-elimination https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel_git-bisect https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection https://ldpreload.com/blog/git-bisect-run ("Finding a kernel regression in half an hour with git bisect run") 6. make oldconfig 7. make bindeb-pkg 8. Deb packages are in ../ 9. Install, reboot, run tests, confirm logs, iterate Thank you for running these tests. By chance, would you have time to compare 5.10.x to 5.15.x, or have you already compared them? I'm always the most curious about how the latest LTS kernel compares to latest_LTS-1 ;-) Regards, Nicholas P.S. I'm sure you'll be able to find someone on IRC who'd be willing to help you, should any help be necessary!
