System Freezing After Installation or When Using Live Image on Debian & Rocky Linux 8.9 (Stable in 8.10)

#1 Post by Brechtl »

Symptoms:
Post-Installation Freezes:
After successfully installing the OS, the system freezes during boot or shortly after login.
The system becomes entirely unresponsive—no TTY switching (e.g., Ctrl + Alt + F1/F2/...), and no keyboard input works.
Freezing During Live Image Usage:
The issue also occurs when booting from live images for both Debian and Rocky Linux 8.9. The system freezes at various points during live sessions.
No Error Logs:
dmesg doesn’t reveal anything useful, as the system freezes before I can capture anything.
There is no specific output or log file I can use to pinpoint the issue since it happens too quickly.

File /var/log/journal/[ID]/user-1000.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing.

I tried: pcie_aspm=off pci=nomsi pci=noaer
I tried memtest no erros
I tried Disabling C States
I tried disabling Secure and Fast Boot

Also it happended on 7 Identical machines

Specs:

Ryzen Threadripper 3930x
ASUS TRX 80
64 GB DDR4 RAM 2600 MHz
RTX 3070

Hi there,

What happens when you boot using the grub boot loader and pass the parameter "3" (without double quotes) to the kernel ? (a small screen recording where the "1" is used as an example).

Does the computer boot in a text-mode multi-user configuration (with a fully working operating system) ?

Can you login using ssh after the system has frozen?

No it closes ssh as soon as it freezes.
It also doesnt shut down it's just frozen.

Remove the RTX 3070 and verify if it hangs

Yes it does.

Installing Watchdog has the system made somewhat more stable but it still crashes, not after boot but at random times now.
