Sure, I'll send you the config I used and the dmesg I caught privately -
you might see something I've missed. Stuff like this, for example:

[ 10.254952] Adding 15721468k swap on /dev/nvme0n1p1. Priority:-2 extents:1 across:15721468k SS

Dunno if using ext4 to mount ext2 and ext3 filesystems would be
relevant.

Gotcha.
