System crashes after an update

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware
1

Hi.. Actually, I’m in a dead end and i really need help.. Today I updated my laptop with yay -Syyu, it did a kernel update and everything, but now… Everytime I boot into my pc, it says in the tty : [ERROR] : Failed to start Load Kernel Modules like 5 times in a row, but it still boot into Gnome, the thing here is that it has never done that to me since I’ve had it (EndeavourOS) and now it’s crashing… but only under certain circumstances…

I’ve noticed that it crashes only when I connect to Steam (installing a game or smth) or download something from qBittorent…

Here, I have the exact logs of the moment of the crash using journalctl -a --since 21:40:00 --until 22:09:32 > crash.txt, it starts with L.486, kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/cet.c:132!, It ends at 22:09:32 (the moment of the crash), I searched everywhere on Internet about this error but didn’t found anything and I have absolutely no idea why, even after reinstalling the kernel using pacman and dracut-rebuild, I still haven’t solved the problem, everything was working until the update, and my computer was not that outdated, It was my 2nd update of the month.. If this could help, when my laptop crashes, the screen freezes and my caps lock is blinking..

and here, It’s a stack using journalctl -a -p err --since today with every errors, before and after the update, everything before -- Boot 890b76b6a84646f6aa24bd9b4f782a0a -- was before the yay -Syyu..

I’m actually new to this forum so if this topic doesn’t respect something, please tell me.. And thanks for the advices !

EDIT : Here is a stack from Steam to the kernel panic,

Missing ENDBR: pkcs8_note_version.cold+0x2e0/0xd20 [pkcs8_key_parser]
kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/cet.c:132!
Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI
note: kswapd0[79] exited with irqs disabled
Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at 0xffffffffffffffd6.

It seems to have a problem with the key parser module but I still cannot find why and how…
Here’s the boot logs and

Can you share the output of pacman -Q | grep -E "dracut|mkinitcpio|grub|kernel"

~ sudo pacman -Q | grep -E "dracut|mkinitcpio|grub|kernel"

dracut 106-1
eos-dracut 1.5-1
grub 2:2.12.r226.g56ccc5ed-1

Welcome!

Can you show the output of

inxi -Gza
pacman -Q | grep linux

Note: sudo is not needed.

Hi and Thank you!

Here’s the output :

Note that I’m actually using the lts kernel, but usually I use the Arch kernel, I installed the lts kernel just after doing all those crashes, thinking that could solve my problem.

Quick edit : the nanosecond I posted this, my pc crashed again.. I doubt about my WiFi driver..

Any driver might be the culprit.
Why do you suspect the wifi driver? Can you show the output of:
inxi -Nza

Edit: does X11 work any better than wayland?
Edit2: you could try command sudo dracut-rebuild.

inxi -Nza

    lanes: 1 port: 3000 bus-ID: 04:00.0 chip-ID: 10ec:8168 class-ID: 0200

I suspect it cause of the beginning of the crash stacks :

And just before, there is a lot of warnings, before L.485 in this pastbin, it’s mostly that when I post something or connect to something or to a server (like the steam servers or just before, the Hoyoverses servers) my pc crashes…

I already tried with Xorg and it didn’t solved my problem..
I already tried too sudo dracut-rebuild, it was actually my first command but like the first command, it didn’t solve anything…

Also, maybe i found something, I made a pastbin about my pacman logs, I found out this

So i opened my make.log in /var/lib/dkms/binder/1/6.13.7-arch1-1/x86_64/log and there seems to be a problem with files that are missing.. I may be talking nonsense, but this could be the source of the problem..

quick edit: sorry but it’s in french..

If you really want to rebuild dracut, sudo dracut-rebuild isn’t a thing. Should be yay -S dracut --rebuild

EDIT: I was wrong. I just tried sudo dracut-rebuild, and it worked. Sorry about that.

Oh okay cause I retried it to know if it would change something.. No problem too!
