As of Linux 6.7 I’m getting hard freezes that require a power cut to reset (sysrq doesn’t work.) Happens at both idle and load anywhere from 5 minutes in to an hour. Running journalctl --follow and dmesg -w (both as root) reveal nothing at the time of the crash. Kernel version 6.6 continues to be 100% stable.

System:

  • Distro/Kernel: Arch Linux 6.7.arch3-1
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
  • GPU: AMD RX580 8GB via AMDGPU
  • RAM: Some configuration of 16GB at 2667 MT/s.
  • WM: SwayWM

I’m unsure how to go about properly reporting a bug if no errors are being generated.

Any advice?

I’m not alone on this apparently (warning, it’s reddit.)

    If you can’t sysrq then you’re down to bisecting kernel releases to find the patch that introduced the issue. You could also review for any new features that are enabled by default in 6.7

    Have you upgraded all bios / fw versions?

      I was afraid of that. Since I’m not the only one, maybe someone else is doing it already. But if it’s still an issue in a few weeks, maybe I’ll take it on as a weekend project. As for the motherboard, I believe the latest version is currently on it (2022 or 2023.)
