Errors in journalctl:

Jan 05 22:31:38 JoLi-HauptPC-Garuda kernel: ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [\_GPE._L09.D1F0], AE_NOT_FOUND (20210730/psargs-330)
Jan 05 22:31:38 JoLi-HauptPC-Garuda kernel: ACPI Error: Aborting method \_GPE._L09 due to previous error (AE_NOT_FOUND) (20210730/psparse-529)
Jan 05 22:31:38 JoLi-HauptPC-Garuda kernel: ACPI Error: AE_NOT_FOUND, while evaluating GPE method [_L09] (20210730/evgpe-511)

These 3 Lines are repeated all the time (30k lines per second, probably more)

This started today at about 5pm, since then ~5 freezes, for a few seconds, then I see my bios screen.
My BIOS is up-to-date, the only thing on my system that is not up-to-date is llvm-git and llvm-libs-git which I can't update because they take ~5h to compile and then it failes (This is the case since ~2 weeks ago)

The Errors appear while running with Kernel linux-zen5.15.12.zen1-1 and linux5.15.12.arch1-1
I just installed linux-mainline5.16rc7-1 which I'll try out next.

edit I forgot inxi -Faz output:

What did you do, or what happened, just prior to this?

It looks like a hardware-related issue, so if it started happening without any other changes it means something came loose, overheated, or just simply failed.

I didn't change anything at that time, overheating can't really be the problem, with full load the cpu goes to ~80°C.

one thing to mention would be that at boot there are ~3 messages about something with the cpu, but they go away too fast to read them

I could try to reseat the cpu in the socket and see if the problem persists

It could also be a problem with the gpu drivers, because I upgraded from a 1060 to the 6700xt, so I had to change drivers, which was a bit of a hassle and I think I didn't do everything richt, there still are some nvidia libraries installed, also I didn't know how to properly upgrade to mesa-git
Although apart from windows getting randomly located after suspend everything mostly worked fine with the gpu

Check all the components, cables, and do a RAM test.

Don't make any configuration changes to Garuda as this will only muddy things - if nothing in Garuda changed then more changes won't help.

Ok, so I'll do a memtest, and see if that gives more info, if it turnes out that there are problems with the ram I'll reseat it and try again.

Although if I look at my Clock it's 3 am and I should get some sleep, so I'll probably do that tomorrow (in ~10h), if not you'll see it

Heh, yes. Trying to fix things at 3am is rarely a good idea… :grin:

Same problem with 5.16.0-rc7-1-mainline

Test the LTS kernel as your computer is older.

It passed memtest86 last night, I'll try the lts kernel now, if that doesn't help I'll reseat the cpu

@JoLi I don't think Kernel change will fix this, they don't/won't add mobo/chipset specific quirk patches upstream. There is a fix/workaround you can use instead to try mask that interrupt in the kernel parameters:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Add acpi_mask_gpe=0x09 as an additional parameter into GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, so should look something like this e.g:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="blabla=example rd.udev.log-priority=3 acpi_mask_gpe=0x09"

Generate and apply new GRUB config:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Reboot and hopefully should be fine now.

I've just read the same things on other forums, but these people mostly had skylake chipsets, and also if I understood correctly what they wrote this doesn't "fix" the problem it just disables logging for that error, but I'll try anyways

12

No if you mask it in Kernel Boot Parameters it should afaik stop the freezing issue, as it's completely disregarding the interrupt.

I can't even boot with LTS Kernel, it gets stuck after the 2 messages where it says Kernel Linux-LTS wird geladen (sry I'm german idk what that message is in english) It's displayed immediately after I selected the OS in grub

14

rd.udev.log-priority=3
Already was there, so I added
acpi_mask_gpe=0x09

15

Ok cool. I just added the udev. thing in there as an example, I'm guessing there were quite a few parameters in there already. Are you stuck unable to boot with LTS Kernel now or have you been able to switch it back?

16

Seems to have fixed it, systemd-journald also isn't using 1/4 of my cpu :smile:, but I'm still curious what caused it because afaik I didn't change anything at the time the problem started appearing...

17

Yep, that part certainly is strange. I can't think of what would cause it to suddenly start, unless of change on MoBo settings or something. At least it's OK now :smiley:

18

Hm I didn't change something in my BIOS settings, neither did I do any Hardware changes

19

Very nicely done with that solution @noop. Just for future reference, Garuda uses micro as the default editor rather than nano.

Great work, and nice to have you helping out on the forum.

Thanks. Personally I still use Nano so writing that is force of habit lol :sweat_smile:
