How do I go about debugging a kernel panic? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Journalctl isn't showing anything suspicious, and with the 6.4 kernel update I'm getting the occasional blinking caps-lock.

So far I'm not able to reproduce the panic, it only happens occasionally at the GDM login prompt.

I was also getting panics on 2 of my systems on Linux 6.3.9 but hasn't happened on 6.4

That's great! I'm on lts for now, and everything's 👍

Looks like the kernel 6.4 is causing issues on Arch linux due to some per-vma setting

Try install kernel-lts and see if it still panicking

For me lts kernel solve all the issues

I'll do that. Thanks!

No blinking caps-lock but graphics driver problems which result in mouse hangs every couple of seconds if a second monitor is connected. Count this as +1 to "6.4 has problems"
