Re: Bug in Kernel 6.8.x, 6.9.x Causing Trace/Panic During Shutdown/Reboot

[Ilkka Naulapää]

hi,

I took 6.9.2 and applied that 0bcfd9aa4dafa to it. Now the kernel is
serving me both problems; the trace and the panic as the pic shows.

And to answer your question, I did not do any tracing or so and the
/sys/kernel/tracing is empty.
Just plain boot-up, no matter if in full desktop or in bare rescue
mode, ends up the same way.
