I enabled persistence on the modern kernel, and it worked perfectly. But the legacy kernel could not use the persistence file.

I think this happens if the home directory is kept in a separate partition. In this case, you can boot the legacy kernel with persistence as long as you haven’t boot the modern kernel yet. But once you have already booted the modern kernel, every time you try to boot the legacy kernel afterwards, you face this:

 -- username: /home/username: change directory failed: No such file or directory
Logging in with home = "/".
username@computername:/$ startx

No issue if the drive is not divided into separate root and home partitions.
