That should not happen if people follow the guide, as this is avoided by an earlier step: "'" . _rangecheck_bissbs: * Determine the kernel versions considered 'good' and 'bad' throughout this guide: [...] * Some function stopped working when updating from 6.0.11 to 6.1.4? Then for the time being consider 'v6.0' as the last 'good' version and 'v6.1.4' as the 'bad' one. Note, it is at this point an assumption that 6.0 is fine that will be checked later.
