Hope > this helps. Sure :) It's never a simple "that's it" lone item. There's really little h/w similarities between system #1 and #2 that I just find it odd they both hard lock. Seems #2 works just fine on 6.2 w/ the intel iGPU and iwlwifi driver ; still locks up on 6.1.1 ... If I blacklist iwlwifi and reboot to 6.1.1, it locks as well. Even if I disable the WLAN/Bluetooth devices from the BIOS it still locks up. Boots fine on 6.2 but there's no wifi device, so it's staying on 6.2 w/ WLAN/Bluetooth enabled for the time being; will save the NVIDIA .run file on 6.2 for another day. Those kernel.org links do seem to echo my problem, esp. w/ system #1. I'm not sure how to [easily] track the patching of net/mac80211/rx.c into something like Kernel:HEAD or Kernel:stable, so I'll need to do some more digging. #1 will stay on 6.0.12 until [hopefully] that patch resolves it.
