I have very bad news (for me at least) about the nouveau driver kernel fix, and am looking for advice on how to proceed. I performed the following actions: ``` # fgrep -i multiversion /etc/zypp/zypp.conf | egrep -v '^#' multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel) multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running # zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/ kernel-stable-standard # zypper install kernel-default-6.3.9-1.1.g0df701d.x86_64 # ls -F /boot .vmlinuz-6.3.6-1-default.hmac@ initrd@ .vmlinuz-6.3.7-1-default.hmac@ initrd-6.3.6-1-default .vmlinuz-6.3.9-1.g0df701d-default.hmac@ initrd-6.3.7-1-default System.map-6.3.6-1-default@ initrd-6.3.9-1.g0df701d-default System.map-6.3.7-1-default@ sysctl.conf-6.3.6-1-default@ System.map-6.3.9-1.g0df701d-default@ sysctl.conf-6.3.7-1-default@ config-6.3.6-1-default@ sysctl.conf-6.3.9-1.g0df701d-default@ config-6.3.7-1-default@ vmlinuz@ config-6.3.9-1.g0df701d-default@ vmlinuz-6.3.6-1-default@ do_purge_kernels vmlinuz-6.3.7-1-default@ grub2/ vmlinuz-6.3.9-1.g0df701d-default@ # rm /boot/do_purge_kernels # ls -F /lib/modules 6.3.6-1-default/ 6.3.7-1-default/ 6.3.9-1.g0df701d-default/ ``` On reboot, GRUB has 6.3.9 as default (proven by examining the boot parameters with "E : Edit Entry") and successfully boots that kernel if "nomodeset" is included (which I have by default). I can also boot 6.3.7 (again "nomodeset") via the "Advanced options for openSUSE Tumbleweed" sub-menu. But if I boot 6.3.9 *without* "nomodeset", it hangs during boot in the same way that 6.3.7 and previous 6.3.x kernels do: Console screen and keyboard frozen and locked up, ssh working, kernel memory fault messages in dmesg. After all the time and work by the nouveau and kernel maintainers, and its inclusion in the upcoming Tumbleweed kernels, this is massively disappointing. Did I do something wrong in my install of 6.3.9? I did not do a `zypper dist-upgrade` after the `zypper install` -- should I have? (I did do one immediately before, to get the latest 20230622 snapshot.) Or is the nouveau/kernel patch not sufficient, at least on my hardware? Others had tested it and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau/-/issues/213 was closed as completed. I had hoped to necro-post there confirming that it also worked for me, but unless I can find an error in my 6.3.9 install process I'll have to do the opposite. Thanks for any suggestions on what to do next.
