thats odd.
I mostly run it from src-root,
also whereever make selftest target is/works (I forgot)

I went into that subdir and ran it there
I got no test differences / failures.

IIRC, the failure was on line 270, just after a modprobe.
can you further isolate it ?

thank you for running these config-combo tests.

are you doing these in a VM ?
and since Im asking, Ive done these combos on virtme-ng builds,
also installed & running on 2 x86 boxen.

could you add DRM=m and a driver too,
and boot with drm.debug=0x1ff, dynamic_debug.verbose=3
the debug output should show all the class-work on modprobe,
for your easy inspection/grading ;-)

if no config - they get to see more errors now.
if the solution isnt obvious to them, we can find out more ?

the -rc0 window is open, Id rather not fiddle with this now.

Im gonna rebase onto 6.10, resend,
copy and rebase onto drm-mumble-next
then try to get into the DRM-CI river, see where that takes me.

thanks Lukas,
