Kernel panic while gaming

m/a/no · Yesterday 16:27:04

I'm running a win+arch dualboot system, though I haven't been using windows much so I started playing games through steam on arch. Normally it works fine but today I got a kernel panic. What should I do? Here is the log

Before you throw the nvme at gpt

I'm running a win+arch dualboot system

3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

Also https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Solid_ … leshooting and check your journal whether there other IO/device related errors.
Also it matters *a lot* whether you constantly face the problem w/ the same inode.

Thanks

And for the IO error, apparently there were none? idk I threw the log into chatgpt and did scans and there was no error.
Well I hope it doesn't become a recurring thing at least.

ultimately causing the panic.

The question is what triggers the "Buffer I/O error on device nvme0n1p6, logical block 1175625"
If you get more of those, they better are not all on logical block 1175625 - also still check your smart data.
The dual boot is a possible explanation for the problems but by no means the definitive one.

Smartctl says the ssd is fine, except I noticed that the number of unsafe shutdowns was unusually high? I don't remember leaving my laptop to die off that many times. Could that have any implication?

Could that have any implication?

This happens when the disk loses power for whatever reason. Could be the APST situation linked in the nvme troubleshooting section.
