I’ve recently recieved the AMD mainboard, and I’ve been experiencing random freezing in Gnome under Arch Linux. The only recovery option is a hard reboot.
I haven’t been able to figure out the root cause, however seeing these messages in the sys logs after the crash occurs.
EDIT: I’m having trouble locating the edit button for the original post.
It can get a bit spammy, but these are the common errors I’m seeing. The touch pad has been a bit inconsistent sometimes laggy. I’ve tried reseating the touchpad cable, unfortunately did not help.
These are spamming pretty constantly and I’m also experiencing the freezes while this is going on. I haven’t had to force a reboot though; if I wait for a few minutes it comes back. If I was doing something important at the time I wouldn’t have that luxury though.
I also noticed these i2c errors in dmesg. For me they come in bursts every once in a while, they’re not too frequent, and I also don’t have any freezes (since upgrading to firmware 3.03). I figured they were harmless. With some context to show timing:
I did have a different error filling my dmesg (and annoying me), related to xhci which I know is usb, so I swapped my front left card from usb-a to hdmi, and it went away … sorry I can’t be more specific, maybe I’ll try to trigger it again …
I’ve also been able to see this same log output in dmesg while also experiencing freezing and stuttering behavior (as I imagine existed with BIOS 3.02.) I’m running Debian Testing, Gnome, BIOS 3.03 as delivered with the laptop.
Hm I encounter the same errors on debian stable with backported 6.5.0-3 and latest firmware form kernel.org, with same freezing and stuttering behavior. As soon as the screen is of the machine freezes. Only a hard shutdown helps.
Thanks Matt! Are you tracking two separate issues, or just one? I am experiencing the issue and symptoms at the top of this thread, but nothing related to the touchpad or i2c, as far as I can tell.
