All kernel versions after 6.4.12 are refusing to boot. I took this error out of the logs:

The system crashes immediately when booting and that is the only -p3 output in journalctl. These lines here:

This is my Arc 770m GPU in an Intel NUC. It works on all versions up to 6.4.12, after that it won’t boot at all (even with 6.5.10). I have pinned the default to 6.4.12 so I can continue to boot and do my work.
I have tried everything I can think of, but something has definitely been introduced (or removed?) from 6.4.13+ that is crashing Arc GPU.
Does anyone have any idea of something I can try to get around this? I tried looking at what was introduced in 6.4.13 but nothing jumped out at the cause. I am still loading an i915 conf file with ‘force probe’ to ensure the Arc GPU card is loaded - is this still required?
If I boot into 6.4.12 then reboot and select the 6.5.10 kernel from the grub2 menu, it will boot into that just fine with a recognized GPU. But it won’t cold boot into newer kernels. This is just like my issue a year ago, only nothing I try is working this time like before.
The logs look the same as a successful 6.4.12 boot if I reboot into 6.5.10.
I am at a complete loss here on what to do, does anyone know?
