arm64 6.1.21 raspberrypi waiting for root dev [SOLVED]

Hi!

I've been running kernel arm64 5.15.84_p20230106-raspberrypi
with no problems for months.

During the last update. kernel arm64 6.1.21_p20230405-raspberrypi became available.

I performed the normal update, which consisted of
copying the .config of the previous kernel to the new kernel's directory
running make oldconfig
When prompted for new kernel items, I mostly went with the default suggested value, but sometimes I explicitly chose N for items that I either did not have the hardware for or did not think was necessary.

Normally, after doing this, and then building and installing the new sources, booting is successful.

But not this time. Instead, the raspberry pi seems to be waiting for the root device

Here's the output at boot:

What did I miss?

Should I run a make clean, erase the .config and repeat the kernel upgrade procedure, this time accepting ALL new default options? The reason I hesitate to do this is because compiling the kernel takes about a day and a half, and I'd like to avoid this if possible

Thank you in advance for any insight

Progman3K,

What Pi do you have?

Late Pi 2s and later can run 64 bit?

ShorTie,

Why?

The traditional method has always worked for me.

Moved from Kernel & Hardware to Gentoo on ARM.

Its one of these

I got hit by a similar issue with the same kernel.
I wonder if it is related at all though.
Here kernel does find root device but shortly after it hangs forever with:

I wonder if you missing platform firmware, for example on my pi4 I have this message
