Framework Laptop 13 AMD Ryzen AI 300: repeat hard freezes after suspend/resume on Ubuntu 25.10

Framework Laptop 13 Linux

Framework Laptop 13 AMD Ryzen AI 300 is repeatedly hard-freezing on Ubuntu 25.10, and the pattern looks like an AMDGPU kernel-driver hang rather than a normal app crash.

System

  • Framework Laptop 13 AMD Ryzen AI 300
  • Radeon 840M / 860M class iGPU
  • Ubuntu 25.10
  • Kernel reproducing now: 6.17.0-35-generic

User-visible behavior

  • screen stops updating
  • mouse still moves
  • clicks stop working
  • caps lock still responds

Consistent kernel signature

  • amdgpu: MES failed to respond to msg=MISC (WAIT_REG_MEM)
  • amdgpu: failed to reg_write_reg_wait
  • workqueue: amdgpu_tlb_fence_work [amdgpu] hogged CPU
  • sometimes also: MES ring buffer is full

What I already tested

  • amdgpu.mes=0
  • amdgpu.cwsr_enable=0
  • PSR/display-state test via:
    options amdgpu dcdebugmask=0x10

However, the machine still froze on 2026-06-10 after resume with all of those already active.

Latest reproduced crash

  • boot started: 2026-06-09 22:45:39 PDT
  • suspend exit: 2026-06-10 08:40:45 PDT
  • first fatal GPU errors: 2026-06-10 08:41:07 PDT
  • boot ended: 2026-06-10 08:41:13 PDT

So suspend/resume looks like a strong trigger or amplifier.

Same failure class has reproduced for me on:

  • 6.17.0-23-generic
  • 6.17.0-29-generic
  • 6.17.0-35-generic

Questions

  • Is Framework tracking this as a known AI 300 / Radeon 840M-860M suspend/resume amdgpu issue?
  • Is there a recommended kernel, firmware, or BIOS combination for this exact pattern?
  • Has anyone actually stabilized this on similar hardware without giving up suspend/resume?

One more data point: the 2026-06-10 crash happened with PSR-disable already active.

  • /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu-disable-psr.conf:
    options amdgpu dcdebugmask=0x10
  • rebuilt initramfs before the failing boot
  • live module parameter confirms:
    /sys/module/amdgpu/parameters/dcdebugmask = 16

Timeline:

  • suspend exit: 2026-06-10 08:40:45 PDT
  • first fatal amdgpu errors: 2026-06-10 08:41:07 PDT

So at least on my machine, the first PSR-disable test did not prevent the suspend/resume-
triggered freeze.

Possibly related issue on 25.10 here, same cpu… Did yours show Force close/wait across all windows?

It was intermittent but it shows right after starting up today and opening Firefox and another program… completely froze.
