Hello, I recently went from dual booting between Arch and Windows to doing a full installation of Arch on my system using encrypted ZFS on root. During installation, I encountered an error using zfs-dkms, so I used the zfs-linux 2.2.3, downgrading the kernel to linux 6.8.5. I also followed the steps on the wiki to downgrade all packages to a specific date (11-Apr-2024), to reduce any issues with packages being ahead of the linux kernel version.
Since then, I've been experiencing random freezes, where the system because unresponsive to all inputs, including the magic SysReq commands. I have to hard reboot using the power button. For the record, this would also happen on my old system when I was dual booting.
I tend to notice it happen while I'm using the PC, possibly while steam is open, although it has also happened overnight while I was asleep-- I found the screensaver frozen.
This past time it went about a week between the last freeze but it just happened again today.
The downside to this is that it doesn't seem to produce any journal logs.

Perhaps I don't have logging configured correctly; I'll admit I'm not an expert.

Any help troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Same problem, downgrade:

Has your previous installation used that setup as well?
For the record, this would also happen on my old system when I was dual booting.
No journal files were found.

ls -lR /var/log/journal
Generically (cause this sounds like a FS corruption), https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Solid_ … leshooting and try https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-535xx-dkms (because the 550xx drivers are otr for kernel memory corruptions)
Though w/ https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=295341 the system might also just be completely trashed…
unresponsive to all inputs, including the magic SysReq commands
You're aware that you have to explicitly enable them?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboa … el_(SysRq)
If you cannot prevent the issues w/ the 535xx driver and disabling APST and using the software iommu to avert pot. nvme issues, you'll have to go for https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kdump but a major red flag in this constellation is oc. "zfs"

I'm going to try downgrading just nvidia to 535 first to see if that fixes the issue before downgrading the linux kernel.
Has your previous installation used that setup as well?
No, I believed it used the default ext4 format.
You're aware that you have to explicitly enable them?
No I wasn't, thank you. I enabled the system req keys on my system so hopefully if these changes don't work at least I'll be able to reboot and get some logs out of it.
I dowgraded my graphics card drivers and disabled APST and used software iommu so with these changes, I suppose I'll just wait and see if I experience a freeze anytime soon.
