After the upgrade a login on the console would produce a coredump of login:
systemd-coredump[6476]: Process 6473 (login) of user *redacted* dumped core.
I use ecryptfs and had modified my /etc/pam.d/system-auth accordingly, I noticed a system-auth.pacnew dating back to 2022, so i guess the file wasn’t updates as intended during the update due to my changes.
After restoring system-auth to system-auth.pacnew (without my patches) and updating pambase and systemd I re-applied my patches and everything worked fine. I diffed the old and the new file:
Thanks. It does seem to be something specific to my user profile: shotwell works fine if I log in under a different user. I’ve no idea how to track down the issue from here. Maybe I can try resetting all the shotwell preferences to defaults.
I updated the BIOS on my two latest PC’s, both AMD Ryzen-based and then did the Stable 2023-05-07 update, including the amd-ucode update. Both PCs are running without problems on kernel 6.1.26 LTS.
Thanks for bringing this amd-ucode issue up. I had originally planned to ignore BIOS updates because one of the PCs can only be updated from within Windows (Lenovo offers ONLY Windows-based BIOS updates) and I refuse to install Windows. But reading past posts by @bogdancovaciu and @straycat tipped me off to using Hiren’s BootCD PE to do the BIOS update. Easy peasy!!
This one: " There was an issue with zfs-utils 2.1.11-1 package having the initcipio files wrongly installed. Please update to zfs-utils 2.1.11-1.1 and re-run mkinitcpio -P" , from the known issues and solution at the top of the thread…

Thank you
