What happened?

normal boot mode:VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT doesn't work
Error mounting /dev/sda1 at /media/kali/Ventoy:/dev/sda1 already mountded or mount point busy

grub2 boot mode:cann't boot,stuck at kali boot logo

PC:Redmi Book 14 2022 (i5-12500H),FlashDisk: Netac ZSlim (mSATA SSD 1TB MBR exFAT)

It works fine on Kali with Kernel 6.1 (kali-linux-2023.1-live-amd64.iso , kali-linux-2023-W11-live-amd64.iso),but doesn't work on Kali with Kernel 6.5 (kali-linux-2023.4-live-amd64.iso , kali-linux-2023-W50-live-amd64.iso)

Addtional feedback:It seems that kali can only boot correctly with normal boot method. If you choose grub2 boot method,there will be a flash tip that say (error:file /grub/unicode.pf2 not found.),after that it will show iso internal boot menu rightly,but it will stuck on kali boot logo.

[PATCH 0/5] module: ELF validation enhancement and cleanups

• /*
• • The ".gnu.linkonce.this_module" ELF section is special. It is
• • what modpost uses to refer to __this_module and let's use rely
• • on THIS_MODULE to point to &__this_module properly. The kernel's
• • modpost declares it on each modules's *.mod.c file. If the struct
• • module of the kernel changes a full kernel rebuild is required.
• • We have a few expectaions for this special section, the following
• • code validates all this for us:
• • o Only one section must exist
• • o We expect the kernel to always have to allocate it: SHF_ALLOC
• • o The section size must match the kernel's run time's struct module

• • size
