[SOLVED] No USB/Ethernet in latest kernel build

Recently upgraded my main linux and zen kernels to 6.8.1 and noticed my bluetooth (which is a dongle via USB) and ethernet were not working. I booted into the lts kernel (6.6.22) and everything is working as it was before.

When running `lspci -k` in lts I get this as expected:

0e:00.3 USB controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Matisse USB 3.0 Host Controller
    Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation Matisse USB 3.0 Host Controller
    Kernel driver in use: xhci_hcd
    Kernel modules: xhci_pci
   
08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller (rev 05)
    Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller
    Kernel driver in use: r8169
    Kernel modules: r8169

When running the same command in the main kernel or in zen, these responses are missing as the modules aren't being loaded.

Has anyone else using these modules seen this same issue? Is this something that should be reported as a bug to the kernel (and how would I do that)?

Please post the full system journal or dmesg output from both a boot with and without the issue.

Re: [SOLVED] No USB/Ethernet in latest kernel build

https://pastebin.com/FtP4quKr starts with

[    0.000000] Linux version 6.7.9-arch1-1 (linux@archlinux) (gcc (GCC) 13.2.1 20230801, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.42.0) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 08 Mar 2024 01:59:01 +0000

If the linux package was updated to 6.8.1 then there is a mismatch between the package version and the booted version.

Good to know - and I'll look for this in the future if this happens again. I forced a reinstall of linux and linux-zen and rebooted and now we're booted into zen and live on the net. Thank you.
