What happened?
It seems like when you change from 16k page size to 4k, a kernal module is missing.
Description
When I installed waydroid on my Raspberry Pi 5 I got this error, it seems to be a kernal, that can't be fixed since the kernel used to install waydroid is older and doesn't have this module. And i can't see to reinstall the kernel since the bootloader packages are missing.
