Well, there might be something with the very old installation (or it's something HW config related) as I just rebooted my other laptop and 5.13 works fine so far, lsmod shows iwlmvm, vfat or nft_ modules loaded, which does not happen on the older installation

Code: [Select]
System:    Host: tomato Kernel: 5.13.4-1-siduction-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 10.2.1 Desktop: Xfce 4.16.0
           tk: Gtk 3.24.24 info: xfce4-panel wm: xfwm4 dm: LightDM 1.26.0
           Distro: siduction 18.3.0 Patience - nox - (202002161822) base: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)

some old udev rules leftovers, suddenly tiggered by some micro change in how kernel reports something?

while on my system, which is an uptodate old installation (riders on the storm), the nfs modules are not loaded on booting, I made an entry in /etc/modules (with nfs and nfsv4) and set a link to /etc/modules-loaded.d/nfs.conf
Now nfs modules are loaded while booting and the nfs shares are mounted like before with the 5.12er kernel on the same system.

Code: [Select]
cat modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
nfs
nfsv4

Code: [Select]
ls -l modules-load.d/
insgesamt 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 119 24. Feb 2014  cups-filters.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  10 13. Jul 19:29 modules.conf -> ../modules
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  12 21. Jul 13:38 nfs.conf -> /etc/modules
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  39 27. Mai 15:53 nvidia.conf -> /etc/alternatives/glx--nvidia-load.conf

That's what you have postet before. Your system is a bullseye install, not a siduction base.

I made an entry for vfat, and confirmed that is is also in /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf, and rebooted.  Now the fat and vfat modules are loaded, but the USB thumb drive still won't mount. In dmesg appears the same error "codepage cp437 not found".

For an experiment, while booted in 5.13.4-1, I added nls_cp437 to /etc/modules, then ran

Code: [Select]
update-initramfs -u
and rebooted. Still no networking, and the USB thumb drive mounting fails silently.
