Help troubleshooting OS freezes

If the problem was a kernel update, try switching to the LTS kernel.

If the problem was mesa, you could try mesa-git aur package.

If still neither of those 2 options solve your problem; your memory could be fcked, so time to try running memtest (this is time consuming, but if it confirms your memory is screwed, you can try replacing ur ram).

I’m using Zen kernel for Waydroid, I added “idle=nomwait” to kernel parameters waiting for the problem to solve.

Ok, so it happened again.

The weird thing was that music kept playing as expected for 15-20 seconds but the display was unresponsive Also mouse, keyboard.

Then it seems like music didn’t stop but sounded super robotic. What you hear is Lonely Day - SOAD.

I can see some dumps in the logs of the last boot https://0x0.st/XFGa.txt.

Did you add the other kernel parameter or just the first one?

Edit: You could also try the following kernel parameter.

amdgpu.noretry=0

Yes, I added the following parameters.

iommu=pt idle=nomwait processor.max_cstate=5

This happened to me three or four times, once I opened GIMP, and the other times while watching a video on YouTube, the device freezes and the sound remains for a few seconds and then cuts off and nothing responds until I turn off the device.

Happened again, mainly when using vscode. Sometimes it happens only with firefox.

I searched this text, which I found in the journalctl logs

[drm:amdgpu_atom_execute_table_locked [amdgpu]] *ERROR* atombios stuck executing ...

It led me to these bug reports

There’s a recommendation to add amdgpu.runpm=0.

I just added it but it keeps freezing. I can’t even change tty (Ctrl+Alt+F2/3/4)

That’s running on pretty old kernel so it may not make any difference.

Edit: Did you end up updating the bios the the latest version? I know you checked but did you run the command to update it?

Yep, I downloaded the updates and then updated the firmware.

There are some comments from some days ago on the gitlab issue

Update: I tried Fedora with kernel 6.12.4, and after hours it happened again. I think it has something to do with this version of the kernel, so I installed the LTS version on Arch, waiting for version 6.12.5 to be released in the official repositories.
BTW, I tried all the parameters suggested here for the kernel to no avail, and my BIOS version is up to the latest version.

Update

The issue keeps happening. I couldn’t find the cause.

  1. Run yay to update the system
  2. Updated the BIOS firmware (fwupdmgr get-updates - fwupdmgr install)
  3. Modified the kernel params
    iommu=pt idle=nomwait processor.max_cstate=5 amdgpu.runpm=0
    

Have you tried the LTS kernel?

No. I can try. Does EOS have a utlity to manage kernels easily?

Maybe this site in the wiki can help you https://discovery.endeavouros.com/endeavouros-tools/akm/2021/08/

Any luck with amd-pstate ? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CPU_frequency_scaling#amd_pstate
