Aka, if you have netconsole working and press SysRq+h, it should show help and send that text over the network. If you press SysRq+r it should reboot. I want to confirm that netconsole indeed stops working, but SysRq is still working. There is another method for capturing panic messages. It involves preserving portion of the memory and loading a second kernel in there, that is started at the event of panic. Actually there was even a method storing kernel panics in non-volatile memory of the uefi bios... (That might be a bit risky). However at this point I am not convinced that you are even getting any kernel panic. It is very strange that the system hangs, without the kernel panic issuing a panic. And it is even more strange that the GPU is causing such a hang. You see, the GPU for the most part is working on its own, so if the GPU hangs, it should not affect the CPU operation. The radeon/amdgpu drivers could detect GPU hang and they should complain. I've shown you how they do that for me. This points us again in the direction of hardware. I do remember that you had some success with `amdgpu.moverate=4` . So the issue might be around DMA and PCIE... For now, try `export R600_DEBUG=nodma` . This environment variable has remained with this name, despite the fact that it now works on much newer drivers than R600. You can see all supported options with `R600_DEBUG=help glxgears` . Also, you've done overclock before, maybe some options has remained. See if your bios/uefi have something in the equivalent of "safe defaults"...</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
