Answer

Hello Hoshito,

I hope you're doing well. I understand that you are trying to import Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) with Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-22-amd64.

Please understand that Kernel Linux 5.10.0-22-amd64 is not currently listed as a supported version, with Kernel 5.10.0 being the latest supported version [1].

You may consider using an alternative import method such as Application Migration Service (MGN) [2].

I hope this helps Hoshito, please feel free to let us know if you have further questions.
