On my system, 6.14.0rc4-1 gives me an error when I try to install the package via CachyOS Kernel Manager. ALPM-SCIPTLET twice gives “ERROR: module not found crc32c_intel”. It seems that the module was not included in the 6.14.0rc4-1 kernel. In the cachy 6.13.5-2 kernel there is rather a crc32c_generic module, and no error was reported. Some hardware support for lunar lake was merged in 6.14, so maybe it is a conditional module for lunar lake (I am on lunar lake indeed, that’s why I installed the RC). In principle the module provides a hardware implementation for the checksum algorithm, so it is not critical. Yet, it is never good to have the kernel installation procedure terminating with “errors were encountered during the build. The image may not be complete”.
It appears this is still happening (same crc32_intel module missing error), as it just happened to me when I installed the production version of Linux 6.14.0-2-cachyos on a v3 machine.
While Steam performance is expectedly a percentage point or two better in most games/benchmarks, one game (Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered) had no sound (though the system was producing it), and then Steam itself crashed out from underneath a few other games/benchmarks (or hung until the system could be rebooted; logging out & back in did not seem to be enough to properly reset Steam).
This latter crash/hang has happened before with cachyos-gaming-meta installed & using the cachyOS build of Proton via Steam native, but with it happening concurrently with a kernel upgrade that says it hasn’t built properly, I’m wondering whether to roll back to kernel 6.13.7-3-cachyos, to uninstall/wipe caches/reinstall cachyos-gaming-meta, do both, or just await the next cachyos iteration of the kernel (6.14.0-3-cachyos, or perhaps 6.14.1-2-cachyos, once mainline goes to 6.14.1).
The lack of sound is a surprise for that game, and as an extra symptom, may or may not be related to the kernel build error. But in any event, the build error still appears to be there for me.
UPDATE: As of a second reboot after installing 6.14, neither does Steam seem to be crashing out from other titles, nor does Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered lack sound. So I’m willing to
assume it was something intermittent & unrelated to the missing crc32_intel module warning during the kernel upgrade.
