Looks good Xeon W-2225 + Arc A380
Works for me, the default tests passed OK..
Work Station, Asus prime mobo - Ryzen5 5600g/iGPU, 400 Series Chipset, 32 GiB RAM. (UEFI) Secure boot, SSD's > RAID1 (ext4)
default & performance tests pass (KVM)
Working on native h/w and as a VirtualBox guest, tests passing.
This update has been pushed to testing.
This update can be pushed to stable now if the maintainer wishes
Cannot verify whether or not this works well on a Framework 13 with AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series CPU because even with the latest linux-firmware update, which is also in testing, it is still not possible to enter one's password on the LUKS unlock screen at boot due to the RDSEED32 issue. Said issue has persisted since the last kernel, v6.17.8. CC @pomac
test suite performed
Works.

Update to my comment above, this now works well on a Framework 13 with AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series CPU but it seems to require having the linux-firmware-20251125 installed and applied via
dracut --forcein order to get past the LUKS screen at boot. Looks likely that the combination of kernel v6.17.9 and firmware 20251125 may finally be a fix for the AMDRDSEED32 is brokenissue. 🙌AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics
Works
AMD Ryzen 5 Pro. Test was a PASS.
Looks good here. Ryzen 3700x, Rog Strix B550-F, Nvidia from rpmfusion.
Works great! LGTM! =)
No issues from general use - ThinkPad E14 Gen 4 (Intel)
Kernel 6.17.7 works very well on my all Intel systems!
Do you have a UEFI and secure bios system disabled?
Small correction.
I tried to restart with kernel 6.17.9-300 and the restart worked. That said, on the first boot, the compilation of the NVIDIA driver starts, which causes a shutdown of the launch for two to three minutes. If there were not the script error mentioned above, the NVIDIA driver would be compiled directly during the kernel update (and it also takes a few minutes) before restarting. So I don’t put a green thumb but a neutral evaluation for the script error.
Seems to work fine on bare-metal Lenovo ThinkPad L390 with UEFI and SecureBoot. No issues to report so far and kernel regression tests PASS.
Starting with 6.17.8 LNL (Lunar Lake) SOF (Sound Open Firmware) is broken. Lenovo Yoga 9i Aura Edition (2025). No sound. Having to revert to 6.17.7.
See RHBZ # 2415785 for SOF / Lunar Lake audio problems.
works fine on Thinkpad P1 Gen4 (Intel GPU)
Works fine on a bunch of cloud platforms and 25+ various aarch64 devices.
Updated linux-firmware fixes this for me - also on framwork laptop.
Seems like the print happens in a inopportune moment and which causes focus to be lost or so... anyway
This update has been submitted for stable by acaringi.
I am still getting the "RDSEED32 is broken" issue, which notably causes the Plymouth screen for LUKS passphrase entry to freeze: inputting the correct password lets booting continue, but the passphrase screen is stuck with an empty prompt the whole time, not responding to user input. I checked that this wasn't the case before by trying kernel 6.17.1, which does not have this issue.
This update has been pushed to stable.
Im facing some problems with this kernel.
