I see. Sorry then for the noise and duplicated work.

It might be inevitable that I will do something dumb more often than not when testing
randconfig errors from such a vast number of lines of code ... :-/

My kmod is as follows:

ii  kmod           29-1ubuntu1  amd64        tools for managing Linux kernel modules

I thought of upgrading to 24.04 LTS, but when upgrading kmod I've lost the capacity to boot
the older kernels in bisect process?

Probably, it would be for the best if I had several versions of Ubuntu in multiple boot
options? However, I have not yet done that ...
