What happens is all of a sudden my wifi drops and things starts getting weird sometimes konsole doesn’t opens up and sometimes its seconds away from panic (i see continuous blinking of caps), have to turn system off and if i restart back it in same kernel. Wifi network doesn’t appear, so I have to boot to some other kernel from boot menu, also in this kernel mostly wifi doesnt show up but after trying to do this 2-3 times, I get wifi back as an option in network.
This is happening too frequently nowadays…

I tried inspecting what’s going on, and mostly i see this kind of log I believe before a kernel panic

you can try Testing ( kernel 6.3.3 ) or goback to kernel 6.1 LTS ( or maybe 5.15 LTS )

add also on boot kernel
“iommu=pt amd_pstate=passive processor.max_cstate=5”

Thanks, for quick reply

Will try 61 and 51
What does these flags do?

Also it happened just replying to your comment
And I am seeing this common error as well in all journalctl entries before weird system

can you provide

sudo journalctl -b0 -g mt7921e
5

Sure, was on kernel 5.15 and it happened again, I rebooted now in 6.1, so providing for last boot (-1)
Though system didn’t panicked everything else was normal (i could use terminal properly) except wifi dropped again

(once wifi is lost)

rfkill list

to see if soft/hard blocked (and post here if unsure)

and try

rfkill unblock wifi

There’s your clue. It’s a hardware problem. :man_shrugging:
