Arch linux randomly freezes after updating to kernel 5.10
5.10.15 doesn't solve this problem. I still have same error. Intel bugs are really annoying since kernel > 4.19.85 (November 2019 !)
As a workaround, i915 guc need to be enable as mentionned in Archlinux Wiki : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics#Enable_GuC_/_HuC_firmware_loading and loaded before others modules
To resume :
- Add guc paramters to kernel parameters by editing
/etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i915.enable_guc=2"
- Add guc option to i915 module by adding
/etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf
file with :
options i915 enable_guc=2
- Add i915 to
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf
:
MODULES=(i915)
- Rebuild kernel initramfs (needs reboot after successfull build) :
# mkinitcpio -P
- Remove xf86-video-intel (driver is already in kernel) :
# pacman -Rscn xf86-video-intel
