Report everything you have already attempted to solve your problem.

When I attempt to run garuda-update it seems to complete but fine but after shutting down and rebooting my system comes up practically unusable. ksoftirqd will be using 100% of CPU and all networking access is lost and I'm unable to modprobe due to the teh IOwait from ksoftirqd
[ 492.585926] INFO: task modprobe:8252 blocked for more than 368 seconds.
Rolling back a snapshot resolves this no problem, and I've attempted the update 3 times now to make sure nothing else was going on, all with the same result.

That sounds like it may be a common problem and possibly a common solution. You sound like an experienced user, so you know the drill. Where in your journal output did it choke, can you pinpoint it, and are there existing bugs reports?

Did you scour this forum & wiki, the Arch forum, the Arch Wiki, and Google? What were the results?

You run an nVidia chipset. Always problematic. If I still ran one--and there are good reasons not to--I might start there. But then again, that may be totally off base.

P.S Thanks for reading instructions and posting the inxi output.

umbrachimera: Has something been changed since last night? That was when the update kept breaking my system.

Me: i saw your post on the forum, I’ll try updating myself
garuda doesn’t really have control over the update cycle of arch, so this is kinda out of my control
ksoftirqd sounds like a kernel process, have you tried linux-lts?

Adding the telegram conversation here

[umbrachimera]

Thanks for linking in. No, I've not tried another kernel yet. But I can try that here in a bit after another update trial time.

[umbrachimera]

I didn't think to check journal last night night, I just did dmesg to see what was holding up the other processes.

I did my normal google around to see if I can any major bug post. I searched this forum and arch forum; not the wiki's as I didn't think sudden bugs would be in wiki over forum. My last update was only 3-4 days ago.

I don't think nvidida was updated in the last list of things I was updating, I can check again in a bit. It doesn't seem like an nvidia breakage because the gpu seemed to be functioning normal after the boot it's just everything is at a crawl and no networking.

[Bro]

Hey, thanks for the reply. It is very nice that you explained what you have resourced. It tends to cut down on troubleshooting questions from those that would help.

I don't know enough about nVidia hybrid drivers to even know if you have them. I'm no help there. But I read all forum posts and did just note another new problem post involving them and a solution may have been provided by @jonathon...I think.

[umbrachimera]

Alright small update, it looks to be something with the kernel. I booted into 5.16.2-prexan0-rog-1 kernel and it seems like that unbotched the system. I was looking for easy way to rollback from latest kernel but I don't see a way to do that built in; I've not done kernel rollbacks in a hot minute.

[umbrachimera]

Ah, but it looks like Nvidia and VirtualBox both don't play nice with this kernel.

[umbrachimera]

Is there a flag I can put on garuda-update or yay -Syu to make it not update kernel?

[TNE]

Your normal /etc/pacman.conf file contains a commented out IgnorePkg line.
Add your kernel to IgnorePkg like so:

IgnorePkg = linux-zen linux-zen-headers

Don't forget about this, tho. You should remove it at a future date when the kernel is back to being stable for you.

[umbrachimera]

Updating with this blacklisted didn't break system!
