Under 6.6.3, my root filesystem (under ZFS, an out-of-tree kernel module) would work for a minute or so, then start timing out on all operations. In order for ZFS to even try to work, I had to hard unmask it (using **, not ~amd64) as all earlier versions did not support beyond 6.5.x. Given I still had an OOPS even at that late a version, I didn't feel it merited much further testing.

Update from kernel 6.6.13 - still has an oops. ZFS kernel modules are available (version 2.2 is compatible with up to kernel 6.6), but are unstable. Under 6.6.13, I get a display for a few seconds, then it flickers on and off (off for 1 minute, on for 2-3 seconds) until rebooted. Reverted back to 6.1.74, which reverted the problem.

Still have problems with 6.6.21 - works for a minute or two, then the screens turn off. Tried switching to a console (ctrl-alt-f7), and got a blinking text cursor on the built-in display... and I guess a frame from the framebuffer on the primary monitor showing the gnome desktop. Only thing I could do from there was reboot. Reverted again back to 6.1.74.

I had hangs on resume from S3 sleep while on battery on 6.6, which seems to be resolved on 6.8. You could try it. I hope it really works this time.

Generally - a problematic driver. A lot of changes, regressions, new issues...

Best Regards,
Georgi

Unfortunately, 6.8 isn't an option yet - no ZFS support beyond 6.7 as of yet, so I can't mount my root filesystem.

I decided to stay with 6.1 for the time being. I'm quite unhappy how kernel development of stable lines goes. It doesn't look stable.

Best Regards,
