Small Update after 21 days: Now after the kernel 6.18 released I thought I give it another shot, this time not installing on an external SSD but on the Laptop itself (making it new and shiny). Weirdly enough the Live ISO gave me the same experience again, first boot into it = Kernel Panic, reboot second boot = very fine. The thing I didnt do on the external install was also selecting the LTS-Kernel, only difference here. Else same thing. So yeah booting into the normal Kernel first, got into the login screen (SDDM Kde thing) after password hit enter, yeah got the Blackscreen again. So sadly 6.18.2 didnt do it. Then I booted into the LTS Kernel, everything fine (also on SDDM my second monitor worked with picture and in wayland recognized by kde but still no picture in wayland while logged in), so I started to experiment. As my Gaming pc is working flawlessly, I thought what are the differences, apart from the hardware right now. So I looked at the nvidia drivers. Gaming PC uses Nvidia-open-dkms but my Laptop just Nvidia-open. So I then used nvidia-inst to install the nvidia-open-dkms (including the lib32 dependencies stuff). rebooted and then booted into the mainline linux kernel. Now comes the crazy part: **Kernel panic**. exactly the one above with the cpu timeout. (on lts the kernel panic doesnt happen thankfully) So it seems this driver is responsible for the kernel panic, a driver that flawlessly works on my gaming pc, and if i run nvidia-inst -t is also recommended by this program or script, whatever it is. so what is going wrong? as my laptop has a GTX 1650ti it is still supported with the current drivers, or supposed to… So what should i do? should I try the nouveau drivers, and hope this fixes this? (and maybe this gets my monitor to fully work too?) or does someone have a different idea? If there is a way I can provide more info plz tell. Updated inxi from the current lts-kernel if it matters: > **inxi** > > ```auto > System: > Kernel: 6.12.63-1-lts arch: x86_64 bits: 64 > Desktop: KDE Plasma v: 6.5.4 Distro: EndeavourOS > Machine: > Type: Laptop System: Razer product: Blade Stealth 13 (Early 2020) - > RZ09-0310 v: 2.04 serial: > Mobo: Razer model: LY325 serial: Firmware: UEFI > vendor: Razer v: 1.04 date: 11/19/2020 > Battery: > ID-1: BAT0 charge: 47.2 Wh (100%) condition: 47.2/53.2 Wh (88.8%) > CPU: > Info: quad core model: Intel Core i7-1065G7 bits: 64 type: MT MCP cache: > L2: 2 MiB > Speed (MHz): avg: 400 min/max: 400/3900 cores: 1: 400 2: 400 3: 400 4: 400 > 5: 400 6: 400 7: 400 8: 400 > Graphics: > Device-1: Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 driver: i915 v: kernel > Device-2: NVIDIA TU117M [GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Mobile] driver: nvidia > v: 590.48.01 > Device-3: IMC Networks Integrated Camera driver: uvcvideo type: USB > Display: wayland server: X.org v: 1.21.1.21 with: Xwayland v: 24.1.9 > compositor: kwin_wayland driver: X: loaded: modesetting,nvidia dri: iris > gpu: i915 resolution: 3840x2160~60Hz > API: EGL v: 1.5 drivers: iris,nvidia,swrast > platforms: gbm,wayland,x11,surfaceless,device > API: OpenGL v: 4.6.0 compat-v: 4.5 vendor: intel mesa v: 25.3.2-arch1.1 > renderer: Mesa Intel Iris Plus Graphics (ICL GT2) > API: Vulkan v: 1.4.335 drivers: nvidia surfaces: N/A > Info: Tools: api: clinfo, eglinfo, glxinfo, vulkaninfo > de: kscreen-console,kscreen-doctor gpu: nvidia-settings,nvidia-smi > wl: wayland-info x11: xdpyinfo, xprop, xrandr > Audio: > Device-1: Intel Ice Lake-LP Smart Sound Audio > driver: sof-audio-pci-intel-icl > API: ALSA v: k6.12.63-1-lts status: kernel-api > Server-1: PipeWire v: 1.4.9 status: active > Network: > Device-1: Intel Ice Lake-LP PCH CNVi WiFi driver: iwlwifi > IF: wlan0 state: up mac: 54:8d:5a:cf:59:4a > Bluetooth: > Device-1: Intel AX201 Bluetooth driver: btusb type: USB > Report: btmgmt ID: hci0 rfk-id: 0 state: down bt-service: disabled > rfk-block: hardware: no software: no address: N/A > Drives: > Local Storage: total: 931.51 GiB used: 7.88 GiB (0.8%) > ID-1: /dev/nvme0n1 vendor: Kingston model: SNV2S1000G size: 931.51 GiB > Partition: > ID-1: / size: 912.62 GiB used: 7.88 GiB (0.9%) fs: btrfs dev: /dev/nvme0n1p2 > ID-2: /boot/efi size: 2 GiB used: 664 KiB (0.0%) fs: vfat > dev: /dev/nvme0n1p1 > ID-3: /home size: 912.62 GiB used: 7.88 GiB (0.9%) fs: btrfs > dev: /dev/nvme0n1p2 > ID-4: /var/log size: 912.62 GiB used: 7.88 GiB (0.9%) fs: btrfs > dev: /dev/nvme0n1p2 > Swap: > ID-1: swap-1 type: partition size: 16.89 GiB used: 0 KiB (0.0%) > dev: /dev/nvme0n1p3 > Sensors: > System Temperatures: cpu: 46.0 C mobo: N/A > Fan Speeds (rpm): N/A > Info: > Memory: total: 16 GiB available: 15.36 GiB used: 3.71 GiB (24.2%) > Processes: 275 Uptime: 30m Shell: Bash inxi: 3.3.40 > > ``` --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/kernel-panic-linux-bsod/76022)._
