The upgrade to Kernel 6.1.12 stopped the system from working

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware

On my Lenovo Legion laptop, (Ryzen 5600H, rx 6600m) the system only kind of boots after upgrading to the latest kernels. (linux and linux-zen 6.1.12) I get into plasma, but nothing really loads, in tty nothing really works, either. Downgrading partially fixed the issue, left me with no internet access, though.
linux-lts works just fine.

Here are links to screen recordings I did with my phone:

Trying linux-zen kernel:

There’s probably a better way to read whatever it says, but I was in a hurry. I’d be glad to add that information, if you tell me how.

Firstly, awesome computer! I love mine! You may just need the LTS kernel for a few days. (Mine is on Fedora, so I’m still on 6.1.11 and it’s ok so far)

Thank you! Yeah, my PC is on 6.1.11 as well, I’m glad I caught it on my laptop tbh.

great, now LTS also stopped working after an update

You’d have to provide more info for someone to be helpful.
Like this, e.g.
inxi -Fxxxrza | eos-sendlog

Also, please check out the EndeavourOS-Wiki for further info that might be helpful, such as boot-logs, pacman-logs, etc. to understand and identify any issues you’re having more clearly.

I’d do that, if I could do anything. Unfortunately, almost nothing seems to run, even in LTS after updating

I mean, are they still the same kernel or did one of the maintainers finally figure out that there may be some reasoning why it might be good to have 2 different kernels available for folks?

edit: I just checked. They are still the same lol. :persevere: Both latest and lts are 6.1 . . . so you may need to see about trying a different kernel until the 6.2 comes out finally. I’d try and go back to 5.15 if everything was working well for you.

So you could arch-chroot into the broken system from a live ISO and repair your system, or send logs to this forum from within the chroot environment.

Check the EnOS-Wiki for that here & here.

While I didn’t repair it, because I needed to use it and no meaningful data was stored on it, I reinstalled Endeavour OS. Since that worked fine on 6.1.12, it must’ve been something else, that broke on some change in the kernel. Kind of weird, considering I didn’t install anything considered exotic, but hey, at least it worked.

Thanks for the help, though. Should it break again in the future, I’ll know what to do then.
