    Linus is always good value. Looks like we will hit 10 million git objectives on the 6.9 release. What a day to be alive. First 4.20 and now 6.9. truly blessed

        I totally did miss it. All of 6.6 bricked my system. Only after rebuilding against 6.8 did it boot correctly. (Probably a user issue rather than a kernel issue)

    Need to give this a shot. I’m still stuck on 6.6 since 6.7 introduced some obscure bug that’s freezing AMD systems.

      Which AMD systems? I’ve got a Zen 2, Zen 3+ and a Zen 4 and haven’t experienced any freezing with 6.7.

        Ryzen 5 2600X w/ an RX580.

        I detailed the issue here. Very persistent and tricky issue to track since there’s no reproducible steps and it generates no errors. Happens under zero load, full load, after 5 minutes, 2 hours… it’s about as random and as you can get. And yes, RAM is fine.

            I made it a few hours in on 6.7.9 yesterday after this thread inspired me to check. Still persists and I can now tell if the system is going to hang by starting a video on my second monitor and playing a few minutes of Warframe. The system kind of “stumbles” but won’t crash right away. It might even take a few hours to go down, but I know if that happens then the kernel is no good. Happy you got it sorted, though! Lucky for me 6.6 is LTS for a few more years.
