Remember that the patch I wrote is only intended to fix the crash (bug 2). The probe failure of aacraid (bug 1) is still a mystery. > Since I've never messed with linux kernel compilation before, I'm relying > on this guide https://passthroughpo.st/patch-kernel-debian .

The Debian Kernel Handbook <https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/> is an official guide maintained by the Debian kernel team (mostly me), and I would recommend that over the blog you found. The problem with test-patches that I mentioned earlier has been fixed. > I've also noticed a Greg's message <gre...@linuxfoundation.org> > suggesting to apply this patch to all kernel versions including 5.15.
