Hi

Afterwards I noticed that after I managed to boot 6.9.0, it hibernates 
and even wakes up OK, so it can read the hibernation image. The panic is 
there only when the system is coming up after rebooted. Then I need to 
edit out resume= and resume_offset= from grub to not get the kernel 
panic. (grub with non-UEFI legacy boot.)
