Dell XPS 17 9700won't boot just like withkernel-6.16.3-200.fc42. Screen glitches while entering LUKS password (with/without plymouth) and then hangs. Sometimes, after waiting and holding power button GDM eventually appears and Gnome session loads. I tested it with and without proprietary Nvidia drivers.Everything works as a charm on
6.15.10-200.fc42.P.S. Workaround
Setting kernel parameter
i915.enable_psr=0fixes the issue.Works for me.
Works.
Works great! LGTM! =)

Seen upstream kernel log that there's a fix to swapper which caused severe CPU hogging when VMs are started (KVM/libvirt) on kernel-6.16.3. Fixed on kernel-6.16.4, uptime > 2 days, all good.
okay here
but I need
sudo echo 'blacklist asus-nb-wmi' > /etc/modprobe.d/asus-nb-wmi-blacklist.conf
otherwise https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2390635
Works
Thinkpad T14 AMD Ryzen 5 Pro
PASS
Note: First time was a fail. ./default/cachedrop had a fail.
Second run was a pass.

There is a bug in the kernel module intel_oc_wdt causing a kernel panic in my i7-4470 cpu.
Adding modprobe.blacklist=intel_oc_wdt to grub, solves that problem.

Lenovo P16s Gen2 AMD (7840U + 780M) : everything is working fine. Tests run and uploaded (kernel-test-1757110831)
6.16.4 is a non-functional kernel.
Upon trying to boot from it in GRUB, the screen turns black. The LUKS password unlock screen does not appear.
I had to revert back to 6.16.3 to be able to boot my machine.
Update regarding the 6.16.4+ regression. The bug has been found:
