Backstory:

Upgraded to kernel image 5.10.0-25 (5.10.179-5) from 5.10.0-23 (5.10.179-3).

This completely broke all of my usb disk devices, forcing pull the power
plug reboots.

I probably can't fix this, but maybe I can point someone in the right
direction.


The process:

I figured, how hard could this be, pull the two sets of sources, run a
diff and

see what changed.

Change apt sources list to include source code and update the repository
lists.

No problem.

Try and find the source code for the kernel with synaptic.

Problem.

So,  go to the devuan site.

I can find the packages, but not the source code.

Try the debian site.

Same story.

Okay try search engine.

I can find -23 links but they all link to -25 source code.


Hmm, maybe I am making this harder than it needs to be.

Lets try simple.

$apt-get source linux-image-unsigned-$(uname -r)

E: Unable to find a source package for linux-image-unsigned-5.10.0-23-amd64

$apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)

E: Can not find version '5.10.179+3' of package
'linux-image-5.10.0-23-amd64'
E: Unable to find a source package for linux-signed-amd64

So, I am no closer to finding or guessing what the problem is with *25,
but I do

understand people's frustration in trying to help.


Just for grins: try looking for change documentation.


The closest to anything that I can find is an acceptance of

linux (5.10.179-5) bullseye-security; urgency=high
  .
    * Fix "init, x86: Move mem_encrypt_init() into arch_cpu_finalize_init()"
      backport

which probably isn't relevant and


CVE-2023-32233 for

bullseye (security)     5.10.179-5

which appears to not be relevant as it is for netfilter.


Always happy to display my lack of knowledge in public.
