Regular kernel hangs on boot 90% of the time, lts kernel always works

The regular kernel hangs on reboot 9 times out of 10; every once in a while it completes the boot successfully. Once booted, it works perfectly. The lts kernel always boots successfully, and also works perfectly. I attach the journalctl output from the last two hung boots of the regular kernel. Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hi @ksbhaskar. Being mindful of security, I won’t open a downloadable attachment.

The better way to share the log output is to pipe it to eos-sendlog. That will upload it and generate a link you share, where we can view it online.

See here for more details on how to do that:

You got CPU core dumps/traces in the journal.
As this is a newer device, I do not think there is a defective part… but the firmware looks suspiciously outdated.

Thank you @Bink. I will do that next time.

Thanks @joekamprad. I will try that soon, and report here. It looks like I have to make a Pop OS live USB to check for firmware updates.

you may can also install this on arch/EndeavourOS as far as i know.

Update: I booted a Pop!_OS live USB, and checked for firmware updates, but there were none. Also, I already had fwupd installated, and it also did not report updates. I am glad that the lts kernel always works. @joekamprad vielen dank für die hilfe.
