[SOLVED] Problems with Kernel 6.6.24-1-lts

Greetings everyone.

On or about April 4th, 2024 I updated my system to the newest lts kernel, since April 6th my system has been having issues (X hard locks, caps lock led turns on). I can recover the following error from my logs repeated many times:

I'm wondering if this is a kernel issue or my hardware is failing suddenly.

Just in case, here's the output of inxi -GSC -xx

Thank you everyone for your patience. I'm thinking of downgrading to kernel 6.6.22 and see if the issue disappears. In the meantime I wanted to post here to see if someone is having similar issues.

I did a Downgrade and the issue was not happening. Today I upgraded to 6.6.26, hoping for a solution, instead I found myself in front of a different soft-lock. Error follows as an attachment (message is too long to drop inside a code block).

Unfortunately, this is an upstream kernel issue. You may need to keep a copy of your working kernel packages around and downgrade after each problematic update, until the issue is resolved.

Thank you for taking the time to let me know. I'll keep an eye on things until I find a solution.

Since I changed the kernel to version 6.9.* it seems there have been no more kernel panics, I think we can declare this solved.

If the issue surfaces again I'll make another issue, thank you everyone!
