Is anyone aware of problems with the 6.17.9 kernel? After an upgrade I started getting a lot of kernel panics. After downgrading to 6.17.8, I'm not seeing them anymore. This is not an area I'm well versed in but, I'll be happy to provide specific info. Just tell me what you need.

Does journalctl logs from failed boots show something interesting (sudo journalctl -b-n where n is number of boots ego) ? Post full logs, if yes.

Thanks for the reply. It didn't fail to boot. It would boot fine but, a while after I booted, it would lock up, go dark and then the LightDM login screen would come up.
That said, I misspoke in a couple ways. First it wasn't kernel panics. it was core dumps. I know BIG difference. Second at the time I originally posted, I wasn't getting core dumps with the 6.17.8 kernel but, I am now. I think these lines from the journal might indicate the problem:

I experience a similar issue. My machine freezes with the same messages after a short amount of time. I downgraded kernel and firmware but to no avail.
Right now I have amd-ucode downgraded to 20251111 and it is running fine for 2½ hours now. I'll give it some further testing tomorrow.
You might want to try downgrading amd-ucode as well and check if the situation improves.
I opened a thread myself: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=310517

Post output of coredumpctl.
Write more about your system, hardware and drivers:
- Do you both use AMD CPU?
- Is installed microcode for CPU? What version?
- What AMD GPU do you have?
- Wayland or X server?
- What DE?
From part of logs I see that you both use amdgpu driver: MickeyRat had problems in game endless-sky and dingodoppelt in Wayland on KDE, but coredumpctl should shed more light on this.
@MickeyRat don't reinstall system yet, you have plenty of options: for example, if you have AMD CPU you can try downgrade ucode for it.

Thanks for the reply. I have done a little more research. We are in agreement. At this point, I'm not certain a reinstall would fix it. The messages I posted are from endless sky but, I've gotten them from the brave browser as well; maybe other things. I had the problem for a while but, with the holidays, I didn't have time to look at it.

I'm beginning to think I should change the subject of this thread. It doesn't look like this is going to turn out to be a problem with the kernel.
