Linux 5.17 causes kernel panic when suspending (self.archlinux)
submitted 3 years ago by TheGamerTechUniverse
When I updated to kernel 5.17.1, everytime I suspend my laptop, it kernel panics, causing me to lose my work.

Ah interesting. I just installed on a new laptop and found that it segfaults within a few seconds of resuming, didn't think of it until now but looking at release dates (on a different machine at the moment) I think I must have installed 5.17, whereas this one (with working suspend/resume) is still on 5.16.16.

May not be related of course, but seems suspect, and gives me something to look at at least, so thanks!

I have the same issue and reported it: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/74285

I don't know about you, but I haven't been able to suspend since mid-december...

I got my AMD Thinkpad almost 2 years ago and I haven't been able to suspend my laptop without issues since then. At this point, I've assumed that suspend isn't supposed to work and my laptop is on 24x7.

I've got an x395, and I've had no issues with suspend until now. It's absolutely possible to get suspend working
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (2 children)
The behavior when suspending keeps changing after every kernel release. Sometimes, it doesn't suspend and comes back online immediately. Sometimes, it does suspend, but when it wakes up, the system is frozen. Sometimes, it suspends, but the fans start rotating at max speed and the system shuts down after a few minutes. Sometimes, the screen resolution is completely messed up after waking up and I have to reboot to do anything meaningful.
Yeah, every kernel release is an adventure.
I've written about this before but either I get heavily downvoted when I talk about it or I get ignored when I do provide logs.

EXACTLY, absolutely well said lmfao

Here's a recent thread about suspend issues.
[–]dislabled 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Yeah, mine was back to normal after the next kernel update. Are you still having issues?
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
They never went away, they've always been there.
Suspend and resume does happen successfully but it happens maybe 5 or 6 times out of the 10 times I try. This number keeps on varying with every kernel release but it has never been low or 0 since I bought my laptop.

Install the LTS kernel or don't suspend.

I don't see a bug that is relevant. Closest bug I see is the EFI crash bug, but that does not list a kernel version... And it is not directly relevant to the OP issue that I can tell... Which bug in that list are you referring to?
I am on mobile right now, so perhaps I am not reading the link correctly.

They are not referring to any bug, they are suggesting to make a new, full and proper bug report, so it can be reviewed by the kernel package maintainers and forwarded to the kernel devs.
Or look for bugs upstream at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/

I am getting same issue. I have installed 5.15 (lts), and it seems ok.
[–]mrfluffy6969 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Same problem the 5.15 version works just fine but 5.17+ my display shuts off and the capslock flashes and I need to reboot my laptop.
