Since mid-September I experience some kernel hangs from which I can only recover by rebooting the machine (SysRq+b worked fine, and yes I enabled SysRq just to know if it was a total hang).
For those who don't know me, I run Artix + OpenRC on an AMD X570 system equipped with a Ryzen 3800XT, 32GB of 3200 MHz RAM, and a Radeon RX 6900XT as GPU. Everything is properly powered by an 850W PSU by EVGA (Seasonic, really).
Load testing in other OSes (non-Linux) doesn't reproduce any kind of hangs, so I am kind of at a loss here.
My last kernel log, or rather, what was saved by Syslog-ng:

Does anyone have a clue of why that might be?
If I had to make a non-expert guess, from seeing the "tainted" modules, this issue might be related to the proprietary Radeon GPU drivers causing problems?
I would recommend try blacklisting the proprietary modules from loading to see if the problem still persists.
Also is Artix the only distro you've seen this problem on?
Where did you see the proprietary Radeon drivers? I run on Mesa.
The only "proprietary" stuff that is there is for Workstation Pro, which I am actually not even using actively nowadays. Other stuff is just out-of-tree kernel modules that I need to monitor stuff, such as zenpower3 (cpu temp / power draw) and v4l2loopback (obs virtual camera).
Lastly, I don't distro hop. I don't know, currently, if not using Artix works around the problem, and I don't want to try. Running Artix for two years now, I got all my stuff in there.
I would try the other 3 kernels.
>Where did you see the proprietary Radeon drivers? I run on Mesa.
My guess was based on the "amdgpu" module, although I apologize since I was assuming these modules were proprietary when in fact they were open-source
>Other stuff is just out-of-tree kernel modules that I need to monitor stuff, such as zenpower3 (cpu temp / power draw) and v4l2loopback (obs virtual camera).
Well that explains the "tainted" status, although can I ask on why they are out of tree? were they not included with the kernel you installed?
Which other kernels? There's only linux and linux-lts that come officially in the system repos, and I experience hangs on both of them. Everything else (hardened and zen) come from the world repository, and I guess they won't help much here.
Exactly. They are not included in the kernel I installed.
I use the linux-zen kernel on laptops, and it works well. It is in the official repos.
