EDIT:

Output of "dkctl wd0 listwedges"
https://i.ibb.co/2PH6wBN/dkctl-wd0-list-wedges.jpg

I can see a "dk6 [...] type="
This doesn't look good.

"dmesg fgrep wd0"
https://i.ibb.co/0V8BXB6/dmesg-grep-fd0.jpg

I can see an "autoconfiguration error" but I don't know what to make of it.
And a "dk6 at wd0" type <unknown>

Again, any hints?
