Frequent GPU crashes/resets on Fedora 43 with kernel 6.17.12

rejoin0838 · January 3, 2026, 9:39pm

I’ve been experiencing amdgpu crashes ever since I updated to Fedora 43 last week. I didn’t have this issue with Fedora 42.

It happens at least once a day, on low CPU and RAM load (<40%), but I can have this crash 2-4 times per day.

Any tips on how to fix this would be appreciated - or if someone saw another ticket/issue somewhere else I could follow and share my logs to help out

I saw some comments on Freedesktop gitlab about disabling HW accel in the browser, which I did on Firefox after the last crash today. I will also reply there with my info just in case, since that issue dates back from 2023 with kernel 6.6.

According to

it is a firmware recession. Follow the instructions written there.

I’m sadly unsure what to do with such information :1

lkokos · January 7, 2026, 7:39pm

I had the same issue. Temporary fix by downgrading amdgpu firmware to 20251021-1. Here are the commands for F43:

sudo dnf downgrade amd-gpu-firmware-20251021-1.fc43 amd-ucode-firmware-20251021-1.fc43
sudo dracut --force
sudo reboot now

Source
Apparently patches will be released this friday. Here is the progress tracker link.

wintpe · January 11, 2026, 3:23pm

I am experiencing a very similar issue to this with an amd hd 5750 on two separate systems , but not intermittent crashes, just complete freeze up at boot freezes on the three dots of plymouth, escape shows system freezing, documented initially here system wont boot on any kernel past 6.17.7 , but slightly different hardware same kernel revs involved between works and freezes , to much of a coincidence not to be related IMHO.

but ive not yet tried the firmware downgrade at this point in time, but will as soon as i can.

regards peter winterflood

I got the same problem on a ThinkPad X13 Gen 6:

$ sudo dmidecode -t system -t baseboard -t processor | grep -E "Manufacturer|Product Name|Version|Family":

Family: Zen
Manufacturer: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
Signature: Family 26, Model 96, Stepping 0
Version: AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 w/ Radeon 860M

Product Name: 21RMCTO1WW
Version: ThinkPad X13 Gen 6
Family: ThinkPad X13 Gen 6
Manufacturer: LENOVO
Product Name: 21RMCTO1WW
Version: Not Defined

Downgrading the firmware to 20251021-1.fc43 was not enough. I also had to go back to kernel 6.17.1-300.fc43.x86_64 using

sudo dnf downgrade kernel kernel-core kernel-modules kernel-modules-extra amd-gpu-firmware amd-ucode-firmware

to get rid of the crashes (which happened quite regular when using VS Code, so Electron triggers the issue quite fast).
