All affected,
I am going have setup a test machine matching your configuration (distro, kernel and BIOS). For us to dig deeper here, I’d like to have the following to duplicate.
-
This will assume for all in thread, the correct LTS and kernel are verified by the user. Some have clarified this already.
-
What is open/running when the event happens - how might I replicate this? Expand on “Lots of freezes at random times.”
-
Powered or battery powered (some of you have already addressed this).
-
Updated packages, today, as there is a lot of activity here.
-
And this output:
sudo apt install lshw dmidecode -y && sudo dmidecode | grep -A3 'Vendor:\|Product:' && sudo lshw -C cpu | grep -A3 'product:\|vendor:' && echo "Kernel version: $(uname -r)"
The idea here is we need to be 100% on the same page as new BIOS roll out in the near future (like UEFI shell) and that the right kernel is used 6.1.0-1023-oem.
And lastly…a reminder as we iron this out.
Linux
Unfortunately, the last firmware release provided by AMD to fix critical issues also introduced a regression on Linux. Specifically, certain kernel versions have amdgpu drivers that result in the system hanging. AMD has created the firmware fix for this and is currently completing validation on it. We’ll put this through an accelerated test and release process to get it out to you as quickly as possible. We anticipate this being available in mid October (roughly), and we’ll share it via LVFS.
Note that 7040 Series is still a very new platform and AMD’s open source teams will continue to actively develop and improve Linux kernel driver support beyond this specific firmware fix. We’ll keep updating our guides to point you to recommended configurations, and we’ve created a Community wiki post (here) with an overview of the latest status.
