Could you please test the new 5.15 test kernels? I would like to know if they work with your X1Boot Manager.
Thanks

FYI because of the issues with the new NTFS3 driver by Paragon Software:
I wrote:
Hello Konstantin,
Is the new driver compatible with big endian systems? (byte order)
If I format a partition with NTFS [1], then I can mount it afterwards with the new NTFS driver. I can also create a file and access it with an editor. But I can’t list the files on this partition because the new driver can’t read the hidden ”.” file. After a umount of this partition, it isn't possible
to mount it again. [2]
Please find attached the kernel config.
Further information:

[1] sudo mkfs -t ntfs /dev/sdc3
[2] wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc3, missing codepage or helper program ...

Okay, so I installed the final 5.14, then alpha1 and rc1 of 5.15. All look to work fine.
All installed fine in my boot manager and subsequently booted fine.
Though, I thought the alpha1 may have an issue because of a delay before I could log in, but later it cleared up. However, my Fienix has a quirk, because it only boots in emergency mode. I don't know why. I wonder if it's due to getting my R7 working ages ago and it changed something. My boot line is simple. I'm so used to pressing Ctrl-D now I just ignore it.
