Required 'pci=nocrs' kernel parameter now prevents booting GNU/linux properly on ACER Spin 5

in flag

I've been using POP OS (Ubuntu based distro) successfully for more than a year on the ACER Spin 5 SP513-54N laptop, but now it does not boot any more with pci=nocrs kernel parameter, which is required in order to have touchscreen and touchpad working. But.. it has stopped working now - system does not boot properly and ends on initramfs console. Upgrade from 21.04 to 21.10 has not resolved the issue. I am attaching the dmesg | grep -iE "warn|err output:

enter image description here

Here is dmesg output without pci=nocrs:

As you may see, there are some lines missing and/or added.

Any help appreciated!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
