[ 0.263464] ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [_SB.PCI0.PB2], AE_NOT_FOUND (20240322/dswload2-162)
[ 0.263470] ACPI Error: AE_NOT_FOUND, During name lookup/catalog (20240322/psobject-220)

These are no special errors. Its a BIOS Bug, which can not be resolved with the kernel.

[ 0.756193] integrity: Error adding keys to platform keyring UEFI:db

Sounds like secureboot/efi keys can not be added. Is this also present on 6.10? If yes we can ignore that.

Mhmm, there were from our side no special changes. Ill prepare later a kernel with a little revert and upload it.

Looks great @indy

What s that 2nd graph ! Looks cool.

Working good so far.

Oh, never heard about TopGrade before @1fallen

Will check it out.

Just tried it to no avail, maybe I m too dumb for this., I ll stick with Pikaur I guess ! lol

It was installed from the AUR s.

Tried commands from an online tutorial about topgrade & didn t work for me.

Hey @altman , It’s the Gnome system monitor. :grinning:

Hey thx @1fallen , I ll check it out.

Edit; Well , not any better; this after some Questions from Topgrade. I ll forget it. But Thx anyways

Oh, ok @indy , I was asking myself where it came from ! lol Appreciated the comeback sir !

I m on XFCE, it why I couldn t see it.

Ah yes! I remember. I think still you can have it in xfce if you want.

sudo pacman -S gnome-system-monitor

Is the command I think.

Hey thx, @indy

lol, thx for that but I guess I ll pass @1fallen

@ptr1337 Thank you for providing the kernel and making quick releases as soon as they are up in upstream.

So far 6.11.0-rc6-1-cachyos-rc has been good in an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X with zenv4 optimizations. The CPU temperature is much better. On AVG, it keeps -2Β°C compared to previous kernels.

Why mirror syncing probelms?
Which mirror you are using? According our log, all mirrors are updated.

I dont know, how topgrade is doing. With native pacman I dont see any issues.

You can all time run β€œsudo cachyos-rate-mirrors”

The kernel works well on my 7950X3D. I only have one problem, with 6.11rc I can no longer build the zenergy-dkms module. Although this is probably more of a zenergy problem.

I’m new to the OS and so far it is the absolute best.
I’m using it on a AMD Ryzen 9 and would be glad to test.

The maintainer of this module needs to pass to its makefile:
-Wno-incompatible-pointer-types

or fix the code :smiley:

Hello
Congratulations on your excellent work.
A few days ago I installed your system.
Amazing achievement with Proton playing Path of Exile on Steam.
Well done!!!
Always until now in arch linux I also added swap, I saw that your system supports xfs format,of course this format is much better.
Is it possible to install without a swap partition on your system?
My laptop is Acer Aspire 3 whit Amd Processor.
Thank you very much and have a nice Saturday.
