I am rather curious about your home brewed kernel. Given the first failure in the existing log, it appears to be a problem stemming from the ASUS WMI driver, and we do not patch that at all. I would expect a similar failure in your homebrewed kernel. Might I ask for a quick summary of what is different in your kernel? no WMI driver failures with homebrewed I upload my defconfig (generated with make savedefconfig) Created attachment 2104768 [details]

dmesg output from kernel 6.15.10-200, showing lack of kernel oops
(lesson learned: attach files first?)
I decided to piggy-back on this error report because it was so similar to what I've seen starting with 6.16.3-200. The Oops is immediately preceded by "kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:35!" just like with the original poster, and asus_wmi_probe appears in the call trace. We both have an ASUS motherboard.
Hopefully my use of a standard kernel will make debugging this easier.
I also have the hanging restart, but numerous others have that, too, so that might be a separate problem.
I have the same issue on my system. I also have an ASUS motherboard (PRIME Z790-P WIFI) with standard kernel and integrated Intel Graphics (no additional modules). It does not hang every time. Maybe about 40% of the boots, though the kernel error with the ASUS module always shows up. The system hangs on shutdown and reboot as well (every time). I see other reports about it. They seem to be cause by the same issue though. Both are avoided by blacklisting asus_nb_wmi (#1). Are there any issues that could happen because of blacklisting this module? Both problems also happen on rawhide (6.17.0-0.rc3.250826gfab1beda7597.32.fc44.x86_64) #1: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1n3uwvh/comment/nbmgbvh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button thanks @Eduardo NO crash booting kernel-6.16.4-200.fc42 with /etc/modprobe.d/asus-nb-wmi-blacklist.conf Kernel 6.16.9-200.fc42.x86_64 solved the problem for me. I removed the blacklist (depmod + dracut) and the system boots without error and shuts down without hanging. |
