The nouveau driver has had a serious, longstanding bug that seemingly only exhibits itself with the 6.3 and onward kernels, and only with older Nvidia chipsets. For details, see https://forums.opensuse.org/t/older-laptop-tumbleweed-nvidia-and-nouveau-dri... and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau/-/issues/213.
After several weeks of hard work by developers at Freedesktop and RedHat (it was a very difficult bug to track down) a fix was accepted at https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/c8a5d5ea3ba6a18958f8d76430e4cd68eea... and is in both https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouvea... and https://github.com/openSUSE/kernel/blob/master/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouve...
But the change has not yet been merged into the kernel-source-6.3.7-1.2.noarch package's /usr/src/linux-6.3.7-1/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drm.c file, nor (as evidenced by the kernel fault still happening at boot) in 20230620's vmlinuz-6.3.7-1-default kernel.
Should I expect that it will be included in an upcoming Tumbleweed snapshot/repo/ISO in the near future? If not, how can I advocate that it should be? There are already several related Bugzillas (1212553, 1211217, 1211568, 1211216, 1209197), none of which seem to be aware of the root cause nor this newly-released fix.
The Kernel team is generally highly reachable from bugzilla so i'd add this new information to the most relevant bug and they should be able to take care of it. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
