Comment 45 for bug 2017444

Good New Year's Eve (it's 6 minutes to midnight in Finland) - and Happy
New Year 2024,

the reason I wrote the Bug Report was that it was impossible to install
Ubuntu 23 at all. At that time Ubuntu 22.04 was still using Kernel 5.xx
and problems - if any - were not as severe as in Ubuntu 23.04 and 23.10.

To my understanding atomisp-modules were disabled then.

A quick search with Cherrytrail (ISP2401) gave this news article (
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.7-Media ) - have You read it already?

It seems that improvements to atomisp have been made during the autumn
of 2023 and atomisp-modules have been enabled again in kernel.

I do not have more knowledge, but one of the Red Hat engineers referred
in the Proronix article is Hans de Goede. He is both developing
atomisp-modules and also the one in charge of atomisp-modules in
Kernel.org. So by searching what he has published about the subject this
autumn may give you more info. And if you feel it is important enough -
you may ask him personally.

Yours,

Sami Saarinen

P.S. I have a week old fresh install of Kubuntu 22.04 LTS in a
HP-x2-210-G2 with Intel Atom CPU and dmegs's gives no warnings about
atomisp.
