After upgrading from linux-image-6.1.0-28-amd64 (Version: 6.1.119-1) to
linux-image-6.1.0-29-amd64 (Version: 6.1.123-1) the screen of my gnome
desktop environment kept freezing. I did a journalctl -xe and it showed
some amdgpu-errors (see screenshot attached). Rebooting the 28er kernel
brought back a stable system.

Hi Markus,

Can you add here relevant on the system ideally as generated by
reportbug against the package, including please the kernel log from a
boot with the 6.1.124-1 kernel.

Thanks already,

Hi Markus,

Sorry for the late reply.

Thanks for providing the log. In meanwhile we have 6.1.124 in stable,
is the problem re-appearing there as well?

Are you potentially in the position to test newer kernels from
backports or ideally from unstable to see if the the problem triggers
there as well? If its found in 6.12.10 as well from unstable his might
get easier traction from an upstream report.

Salvatore

Hi Salvatore,

I installed 6.1.24 as soon as it was released (2025-01-15) and the bug
did not reappear since then. The previous kernel wouldn't run 4 days
straight without freezing, so I assume that you already fixed the bug in
the new kernel.

Thanks again,
Markus

Hi Markus,

Thanks for the quick feedback. In this case I'm closing the bug, and
in case it re-triggers feel free to reach out again.

Hi Salvatore,

sorry, but I had to reopen the bug again. The freezing reappeared. It seems
that the kernel does not like my AMD GPU.

Hope this helps,
Markus

Hi there,

here is the reportbug from today. I'm sending this, because the error log is
different from yesterday and the freezing was worse / longer / more
irresponsive.

I'm currently thinking about switching to "testing" instead of "stable",
because I need a stable system. But is it? What do you think?

Yours,
Markus

Hi Markus,

But one next step is the following: Can you isntall the kernel
available from either bookworm-backports (or manually the one from
Debian unstable)?

Ideally we verify if the issue you are experience is still present in
the 6.12.10 version (or if you install the backports in the 6.12.9
based one).

This would give us additional information if something still happening
in newer kernels and which might indicate to go next upstream.

Salvatore

Hi Salvatore,

I installed kernel 6.12.9 from bookworm-backports and it's running now.
I'll keep you updated.

Thank you,

Hi there,

it would have been too good to be true, so it is not. Here is the bugreport for
kernel 6.12.9-1.

I attached the whole kern.log from that session, because the "Illegal
register access in command stream" starting the problem wasn't logged
properly in the excerpt from reportbug.
