Linus is always good value. Looks like we will hit 10 million git objectives on the 6.9 release. What a day to be alive. First 4.20 and now 6.9. truly blessed

Don’t forget we also had 6.6.6

I totally did miss it. All of 6.6 bricked my system. Only after rebuilding against 6.8 did it boot correctly. (Probably a user issue rather than a kernel issue)

Need to give this a shot. I’m still stuck on 6.6 since 6.7 introduced some obscure bug that’s freezing AMD systems.

Which AMD systems? I’ve got a Zen 2, Zen 3+ and a Zen 4 and haven’t experienced any freezing with 6.7.

Ryzen 5 2600X w/ an RX580.

I detailed the issue here. Very persistent and tricky issue to track since there’s no reproducible steps and it generates no errors. Happens under zero load, full load, after 5 minutes, 2 hours… it’s about as random and as you can get. And yes, RAM is fine.

I had this issue and it went away on newer 6.7 releases

I made it a few hours in on 6.7.9 yesterday after this thread inspired me to check. Still persists and I can now tell if the system is going to hang by starting a video on my second monitor and playing a few minutes of Warframe. The system kind of “stumbles” but won’t crash right away. It might even take a few hours to go down, but I know if that happens then the kernel is no good. Happy you got it sorted, though! Lucky for me 6.6 is LTS for a few more years.

Having the same experience with a 5700 XT. 6.7.9 breaks all the same, so stuck on 6.6 LTS.

The only 6.7 AMD issue (feature) I’m aware of is the amdgpu patch that gets the tdp limits from the vbios so you can’t undervolt as much vs older kernels.

It’s not that widespread as far as I can tell. I gave details elsewhere and included a few other places where people were reporting it. Not sure if it’s tied to AMD GPUs, AMD CPUs, etc., but the common thread is that everyone I saw reporting it was using AMD.

I can’t use 6.7 because of Microsoft of all reasons. github.com/microsoft/mssql-docker/issues/868
