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.)

    I’m fresh off ruling out the RAM via memtest. I’ll let it do a longer soak overnight to see if anything fails then, but I’m now on to bisecting the kernel from what I believe is the last release of 6.6 (6.6.13) to hopefully whatever the offending commit is. Been a while since I’ve had to mess around with manually building the kernel without the aid of linux-tkg, but I’m off to learn it anyway. Thanks for the help!

      Good luck! Sounds like you got it under control, but I’m happy to help if you run into trouble. I’m curious what you’ll find.
