Latest Kernel 6.11.1 broke everything

isachan · 1 October 2024 19:15

About an hour ago, I did my system update via OctoPi app and Kernel 6.11.1 was in the update.
After a long grub-updating (took me about 20 minutes), finally finished, so i rebooted my Linux desktop.

First thing I notice is that Bluetooth no longer connects to anything, be it my headphones, game controllers, etc. On top of that, after about a minute, erases all the paired devices.

Also I found the whole system is highly unstable and grays out the windows, and the whole system freezes except my mouse cursor after about 5 minutes.

WTF is going on with this update ?

Fortunately, I restored my previous system from September 30th and all is good for now as long as I don’t do update my system.

Looks like no one has addressed and reported this huge issue as of yet.

Edit: Fixed typo.

Use always,

upd or update or garuda-update

in terminal, not octopi, please.
Check the terminal output and post which apps/drivers got a update.

That is good, but it is better not press Enter or Y Enter this moment. It brak again. Just wait or boot in the

kernel, maybe this one work. Also check the

Or restore the last working snapshot.

isachan · 1 October 2024 20:52

Ok, I guess I have to wait until next system update then…
I am using the last working snapshot from September 30th.

mhwd-kernel -li
Currently running: 6.11.1-zen1-1-zen (linux-zen)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
local/linux-zen 6.11.1.zen1-1
local/linux-lts 6.6.52-1

6.11.1-zen1-1-zen works fine on my notebook.

Maybe you can install the LTS kernel and boot it from grub to check?

erics · 2 October 2024 15:13

Same for me, new kernel has been running smoothly since update.

veitw · 2 October 2024 17:34

For me 6.11.1 wont bring up my wireless link, doesnt matter if zen or arch. 6.11.0 was running fine and so does 6.12-rc1.
I have no time to further look into it right now, but something is not right with 6.11.1

PhtRonin · 2 October 2024 17:48

Hi guys, so as title says after the update to this kernel, my system gets stuck at loading initial ram disk. Current workaround is to boot through fallback…

I tried using dracut --force and what i noticed is, it seems the system didn’t automatically create the folders for the kernel, i needed to do that for the previously installed kernel and now this one to be able to use it ( don’t know if is something related)

Anyways even after using it, i’m still stuck with the same error, i’m inclined to fallback to the previously kernel at this rate

isachan · 2 October 2024 18:43

“it seems the system didn’t automatically create the folders for the kernel…”

That could be the cause of this issue, I’m guessing…

I forgot to unmount several external hard drives when I updated to 6.11.1 kernel.
Also, normally updating initramfs takes only about one minute max, but that time it took me about 20 minutes.

I haven’t tried updating without those hard drives mounted.

I’m still waiting for kernel 6.11.2 whenever it comes up… Sigh…

smaragdschlange · 3 October 2024 09:07

Hi there,
just wanted to mention that I, too, have problems after updating to kernel 6.11.1.
My system hangs just before loading the initramfs. I’ve returned to a snapshot with kernel 6.10.10 and updated without the linux kernel update, so everything works fine for now.
I will probably also wait for the next kernel update.

LolFlasherNoobX · 3 October 2024 16:00

The solution for all these kernel related issues is to either use the LTS version or downgrade to whatever last version worked the best for you and add the linux + linux-headers packages to IgnorePkg. No need to wait for new release, sigh . Choose what works for you, as a end user you need not worry about testing, you are an end user, not a tester.

NOTE FOR NEW USERS:
Check my reply here if you do not want to break your system ! :

isachan · 3 October 2024 18:22

So how do I add the “linux” + “linux-headers” packages to “IgnorePkg” ? I’m still a noob when it comes to kernel stuff.

SGS · 3 October 2024 18:56

Learn to search, please

Its all explained in the web

sudo micro /etc/pacman.conf

remove the #

#IgnorePkg   =

and use linux-zen and his headers.

Got it working, it was a command on grub that kept it hanging

tbg · 5 October 2024 14:55

It is fairly common for Bluetooth to break on some kernel updates. Another user with a Mediatek BT adaper reported a BT breakage 3 days ago.

I asked him to post the bluetooth errors from his logs, but he has not responded. The most common fix when Bluetooth breaks on a kernel update has already been mentioned:

The first thing to always try is to test the LTS kernel if a kernel updare breaks your Bluetooth. It is also a good idea to test the linux-mainline kernel and headers. The mainline kernel always contains the most recent driver updates to correct any breakages to drivers that are included in the kernel. Mediatek WiFi and Bluetooth drivers are included in the Linux kernel, which is good because you don’t have to install proprietary drivers to get their adapters to work. Unfortunately, this also can result in breakages when changes occur with the kernel.

IMO it is far better (and safer) to use an alternate working kernel than to freeze the zen kernel and headers at an outdated version. Doing this results in a partial update, which is never recommended when using Arch Linux.

LolFlasherNoobX · 5 October 2024 17:40

Well a frozen kernel package has never caused issues for me in my experience, using a recent working version of any kernel is good as long as it works fine , if it stops working fine at any specific version then it is advisable to freeze it as a last resort if none other kernels work.

IMO it shouldn’t break things until you have bleeding edge hardware or some other update crucially depends on it. Kernel updates aren’t always needed , if it works it works .

This kind of a partial upgrade should rarely cause issues.
