Re: [SOLVED] arch with gnome starts every 3rd time after upgrade to 6.3.9

sorry maybe i'm slow. what exactly is the solution? i've been having freezes, kernel panics, everything with ryzen 3 for a few days.

If your issues matches the oops in post #5 then see the upstream report in post #14 and there is a built kernel with the fix linked in the edit to post #17.

i see thanks. do you think the issue is gonna be fixed in the next offical kernel?

No.  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/ … te_1979495
Very rough guess a few weeks.

Re: [SOLVED] arch with gnome starts every 3rd time after upgrade to 6.3.9

One of my AMD PC running Arch had a close related problem since upgrade to 6.3.9.arch1-1. I thought the kernel was the problem but the system was running fine on TTY3 (console cli). Every time I switched to graphic mode it was hanging after a few seconds. I checked in /var/log/pacman.log to see what was upgraded alongside the kernel and the culprit seems to be mesa.

I downgrade mesa from mesa 23.1.3-1 to mesa 23.1.2-1 and the system seems back to normal.

Maybe I'm off topic here, I hope not, I'm just giving a hint...

Thanks for this suggestion! It's likely not related to OP's issue so sorry for the offtopic also, but I came to the forums looking for help as I have struggled with a hanging system since yesterday. Saw on htop how the shared memory usage kept creeping up until 100% memory utilization which led to problems as I don't use swap.

Figured it had something to do with graphics as e.g. trying video playback on FF led to this issue almost instantly. Downgrading to mesa 23.1.2-1 seems to have fixed it instantly.

Fix will be added in 6.5-rc1. not fixed in 6.4.0.

Re: [SOLVED] arch with gnome starts every 3rd time after upgrade to 6.3.9

Even older versions of Ryzen CPUs face the same issue, 3xxx series with Vega graphics. Thanks for patched kernel, but I will simply ignore linux package till mainline gets patched.

Looks like the patch did not find its way to 6.4.3: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … inux-6.4.y

Re: [SOLVED] arch with gnome starts every 3rd time after upgrade to 6.3.9

@loqs, thanks for the kernel. i have read your post too late and already built the 6.4.3-arch1 kernel for my own. But how did you change the kernel version in PKGBUILD and how can i get rid of this dirty tag? And how did you change the version? And can i rename my kernel without rebuilding?
I think the solution is to make an branch and commit everything?

Re: [SOLVED] arch with gnome starts every 3rd time after upgrade to 6.3.9

But how did you change the kernel version in PKGBUILD

I have been changing the pkgver https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … KGBUILD#L4 and pkgrel https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … KGBUILD#L5

and how can i get rid of this dirty tag?

Put all patches after the block ending on https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … GBUILD#L60 which fixes the version

And can i rename my kernel without rebuilding?

No.

This is a diff of the changes I made for linux-6.4.3.arch1-1.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst which also include not building the docs linux-docs package.

Few devs read the forums.  Is there a bug report on https://bugs.archlinux.org for this issue?

No i don't think so. Nothing found.
Ohhh did anybody tried 6.4.3 with the patch and an amd cpu? regarding: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/79090

Even older versions of Ryzen CPUs face the same issue, 3xxx series with Vega graphics. Thanks for patched kernel, but I will simply ignore linux package till mainline gets patched.

I'm thinking of doing that but is it safe? Not gonna cause problems with other updated packages depending on the newer kernels?

Userspace packages are in general independent of the kernel.  The one update that might cause an issue is gcc has just been updated,  so DKMS package updates built using the new gcc would fail for the old kernel as the kernel requires matching gcc versions.  So I would suggest ignoring dkms packages along with the kernel.

i switched to lts kernel in the meantime. (alongside to mainline in my case, and mainline not updated) Anybody experiences with 6.4.3 and the patch with amd?

Good to know, did not face any issue so far, but I don't have dkms installed at all, now about packages, I guess I have none of them either.

Re: [SOLVED] arch with gnome starts every 3rd time after upgrade to 6.3.9

I had the problems with the 6.3.9 kernel (AMD Athlon 3000G CPU), I just installed the 6.4.4. First 3 reboots went ok with 6.4.4, give me some time to check whether it remains stable.
